RE:

Drummond360 said:

What if you want to place a sell order below the current price? Would that be a StopOrder?

and would you still use ModifyPendingOrder to trail it onTick?

Hi Drummond360,

The answer to both of your questions is yes.

Hi gunning.ernie,

The percentage of your risk depends on where you will put your stop loss, not only on the volume. In leveraged accounts you can risk your entire account balance if you do not use a stop loss. The higher the volume, the less pips needed to reach your risk threshold. For example, if you open a position of $100.000 and you want to risk only $100, you need to place your stop loss at 10 pips since each pip is $10.

The leverage does not change the amount of risk. It is the size of the position itself that determines your risk. Leverage just defines the minimum margin required by the broker to open a position i.e. with a leverage of 1:100 the maximum position you can open with $1000 is $100.000.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi gunning.ernie,

Volume is just the amount of base currency you would like to invest in your position e.g. 100000 in EURUSD means a position of €100.000. Regarding your calculation, leverage in not related to pip size. Leverage is related to your account's margin. Pip size is only related to position size. The result of your calculation should be $1. In reality, the pip value of EURUSD is $10 since the the pip position is on the fourth decimal place.

Let me know if my explanation makes things clearer to you.

Hi rewtrading,

Thanks for posting the code. However this indicator does not seem to do anything. It is an empty indicator. How did you perform the conversion? If you want to learn more on how to develop indicators you can read the guide here.

Hi gunning.ernie,

Indeed the message is related with the parallel loop. Have a look at this article, it might be helpful.

Hi irmscher9,

Thanks for reporting this but if Windows crashes for any reason then probably it would be better to contact Microsoft instead. There are not much things we can do about a Windows crash.

Hi svanharmelen,

Requesting multiple symbols in one market request is not available in our current FIX API implementation. Yow need to send a request for each symbol separately.

Dear Trader,

If you want to place a Buy pending order below the current market price, you need to place a Limit Order. Buy Stop orders cannot be placed below the market price. If you want to implement trailing of the order based on price movement, you can have a look at ModifyPendingOrder function and use it to modify the order accordingly on each tick. 

Let me know if the above information helps you.

Hi tradingu,

I haven't managed to reproduce your problem so maybe I am missing some steps. Is it easy to capture and send me a short video that displays the problem so that I can check again? You can use TinyTake for this. Also it seems that you have changed the colors for the candlesticks. Can you send me a screenshot with the exact colors you use?

Hi symbiosis,

It is not very clear what you are asking for. Are you looking for a cBot that will close all profitable positions? You can close manually any position opened by mirroring a strategy at any time.

Hi gunning.ernie,

The information in this post is a bit outdated. OnTick() method is called for all symbols retrieved using MarketData.GetSymbol(). See the following example

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

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            var EURUSD = MarketData.GetSymbol("EURUSD");
            var GBPUSD = MarketData.GetSymbol("GBPUSD");
            var EURJPY = MarketData.GetSymbol("EURJPY");
            var USDJPY = MarketData.GetSymbol("USDJPY");
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            Print("tick");
        }

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

In this case, OnTick() will be invoked for all four symbols.

Let me know if this helps you.

Hi megha,

There are two ways to get the symbol id in cTrader. These are the following

1. Manual

• Go to cTrader 
• in MarketWatch, right click on a Symbol
• In the popup menu, select "Information"
• In the pop up form, you can find FIX Symbol ID in the Symbol Info section

2. Using Connect API

You can use Symbols request from Accounts API and access the symbolid field for each symbol.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
