Dear tinker.this,

I appreciate the time you spent to write this feedback for us and I am sorry that cTrader does not meet your expectations at the moment. However, I disagree with the statement that we do not listen to you and that we deliver features without use to the traders. We have recently released cTrader 3.0 that was a big milestone for cTrader, incorporating many of users requests. Currently, we are working on version 3.01. One of the major additions that will come with cTrader 3.01 is the addition of a new Charts API that will allow you to work with all the objects available  on the Charts. It will be possible to read and change object properties covering the features you have mentioned in this post.

Regarding “cAlgo lacks many other simple features” I would be happy if you could list them so that we can consider them as well.

I am convinced that cTrader will become your platform of choice again in the near future.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi Futuresmo,

There could be many reasons for this but usually it is because brokers compete mainly on pricing, spreads, liquidity etc. therefore they would like to avoid disclosing the source of acompetitive advantage to others.

Hi Futuresmo,

cTrader integrates only with reputable liquidity providers. You can see some of them here https://spotware.com/integrations/

However we cannot comment on each broker's decision on where they will choose to execute their orders. It is better to discuss this issue with each broker separately. 

If you would like my personal opinion, it doesn't really matter who will be the counterparty of your order, as long as the execution is fair, transparent and broker meets his obligations towards you.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi Futuresmo,

The answer is no. This information is not available in cTrader.

Hi Anton,

cAlgo 2.01 does not support VS 2015. Here's the workaround.

Hi Alexander,

See below an example of how to initialize a Bollinger Bands indicator in cAlgo and check the difference between the Top and Bottom bands 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }
        BollingerBands _bb;
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            _bb = Indicators.BollingerBands(MarketSeries.Close, 20, 2, MovingAverageType.Simple);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            if ((_bb.Top.LastValue - _bb.Bottom.LastValue) > Symbol.PipSize * 10)
            {
                // Trade...
            }
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }
}

Let me know if this helps,

Best Regards,

Hi mrwillianto.li,

It is not possible to change the fee after you start providing strategy. If you want to change the fee, you need to stop providing the strategy and re-create it with the new fee.

Hi iulianalinchiru,

You can use the overload of the DrawText method that allows you to specify the absolute x and y values where the text would be drawn. Then, you will have to write some logic that will keep track where each row has been drawn and draw the next one accordingly.

Best Regards,

Hi carlosdrcunha,

In order to see ADX in the source list, you first need to add the indicator (Directional Movement System) to the chart.

Hi carlosdrcunha,

My example above shows how to get the SMA for an ADX.

Regarding the margin your can use the  Account.FreeMargin property to calculate the amount you want to invest.

I hope this helps.

Hi ceakuk,

1.18214 is the Close value for the 13/08/2017 22:00 as specified in the log. See graph below

It represents the first value evaluated by that indicator, at index 0, which at that moment is the last value of the series as well.

Best Regards,

Hi ceakuk,

The values in the log are correct. This is how it is supposed to work. If Calculate() is not executing on the Last Bar, it will consider as last values, the values of the candlestick with the index evaluated. That is why you see the values incrementing by one hour each time.

I hope this clarifies things for you.

Panagiotis

Hi thegreat.super,

Unfortunately I cannot advise you on that. Your cBot contains 4200 lines of code and I don't know what it is supposed to do. It seems that you got the source code from a converter (EA to cAlgo) however I don't know how trustworthy the conversion is. If you don't know how to handle the code maybe you could ask the assistant of a professional. I would also advise you to consider rewriting the cBot from scratch instead of relying on the conversion.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi thegreat.super,

It seems that MA_PERIOD and ATR_PERIOD are always 0 when the cBot is starting and that is what is causing NaN values.

 protected override void OnStart()
        {
 
 
            CommonInitialize();
            keltnerChannels = Indicators.KeltnerChannels(MA_PERIOD, MovingAverageType.Simple, ATR_PERIOD, MovingAverageType.Simple, 2.0);
            double icustom_92 = keltnerChannels.Top.LastValue;
            double icustom_100 = keltnerChannels.Bottom.LastValue;
.
.
.

Hi ceacuk,

Are you sure you have posted the correct indicator? Because I see different messages in log and they seem correct after checking. See below

Hi ceakuk,

The fact that there is no link does not mean that this is not possible. Practically, you could read the data on the Initialize() function, store them in memory and then assign them to the appropriate Result index in the Calculate() function. However this requires some coding to be achieved. You could always use some professional help if you don't know how to do it and if you would like this to be implemented.
