Hi Stokes Bay Trading,

Thanks for posting in the forum. Why don't you use the OnBar function instead of OnTick? It is executed whenever a bar is closed and a new one starts.

Best Regards,

Hi hungtonydang,

The last example of this post demonstrated how to get the values for a specific time. If this is not what you need please elaborate a little bit more on what you are trying to do.

Hi hungtonydang,

My opinion is that if it happened once, it will definitely happen again. And you don't want this to happen while trading on a live account. It is better to share the code with the build error so that we can fix it.

Hi irmscher9,

We tried to reproduce this issue but we couldn't. We would appreciate if you could send troubleshooting information to the support team for further investigation. In order to this you need to press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T when in cTrader/cAlgo. Please send the discussion thread link inside the message.

Best Regards,

Hi tasr1r1,

Which version of VS do you use? Currently, the official support is for VS2013. If you want to use VS2015 or VS2017, you need to follow the workaround described above and open the solution files manually from the cBot's folder. Support for VS2015 and VS2017 will be added in an upcoming version of cTrader.

Hi Ahmad,

Did you try uninstalling the application and installing it again?

Hi MaVe,

The below should be working

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

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator("Text", IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Text : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter("Test TimeFrame", DefaultValue = "Hour12")]
        public TimeFrame TestTimeFrame { get; set; }
        private MarketSeries T;
// -----        
        Colors Tc = Colors.White;
// ------------------------------------------------------        
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            T = MarketData.GetSeries(Symbol, TestTimeFrame);
        }
// ------------------------------------------------------ 
        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            var Text = GetTimeFrameText();
            ChartObjects.DrawText("Text", "Text " + Text, index + 1, T.Close.Last(1), VerticalAlignment.Top, HorizontalAlignment.Right, Tc);
        }

        private string GetTimeFrameText()
        {
            if (TestTimeFrame == TimeFrame.Hour12)
            {
                return "H12";
            }
            return TestTimeFrame.ToString();
        }
    }
}

Hi Trader4ever,

I tried your indicator but I didn't experience any performance degradation. Can you please share a screenshot of your chart. It could be that something else causes the slow down.

Hi MaVe,

There is no build in way to do that. You can try implementing your own function as below

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

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator("Text", IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Text : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter("Test TimeFrame", DefaultValue = "Hour12")]
        public TimeFrame TestTimeFrame { get; set; }
        private MarketSeries T;
// -----        
        Colors Tc = Colors.White;
// ------------------------------------------------------        
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            T = MarketData.GetSeries(Symbol, TestTimeFrame);
        }
// ------------------------------------------------------ 
        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            var Text = GetTimeFrameText();
            ChartObjects.DrawText("Text", "Text " + Text, index + 1, T.Close.Last(1), VerticalAlignment.Top, HorizontalAlignment.Right, Tc);
        }

        private string GetTimeFrameText()
        {
            if (TestTimeFrame == TimeFrame.Hour12)
            {
                return "H12";
            }
            return TestTimeFrame;
        }
    }
}

You can add more conditions and put the text you need for each timeframe. Let me know if this helps.

Hi Alex,

It would be useful to have some additional information like the broker and your location, so that we can try this ourselves and see if it happens and if the delay is justifiable.

Hi hungtonydang,

I made the calculations as well and the results seem correct. Can you please check again your calculations?

Hi hungtonydang,

I suspect that the issue is related the section where you are modifying the position. Both sections where 

foreach (var position in Positions)
{
.
.
.
.
}

In this case both cBots access the same collection of Positions therefore it is possible that both cBots are modifying the same position at the same time resulting to an exception. But this is just a guess.

Hi cfuorvito@gmail.com,

It is because anotherSeries and AnotherTimeFrame are "dummy" variable names. Since you posted them in your code, I was with the impression that you will replace them yourself with whatever suits you. See below an example that builds using a daily timeframe and the Close values

using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.FileSystem)]
    public class MACD : Robot
    {

        [Parameter("Volume", DefaultValue = 1000)]
        public int volume { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 50, MinValue = 1)]
        public int StopLoss { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 50, MinValue = 1)]
        public int TakeProfit { get; set; }


        [Parameter("MACD LongCycle", DefaultValue = 26, MinValue = 1)]
        public int LongCycle { get; set; }

        [Parameter("MACD ShortCycle", DefaultValue = 12, MinValue = 1)]
        public int ShortCycle { get; set; }

        [Parameter("MACD Period", DefaultValue = 9, MinValue = 1)]
        public int MACDPeriod { get; set; }

        private MacdCrossOver _MACD;

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            var dailySeries = MarketData.GetSeries(TimeFrame.Daily);
            _MACD = Indicators.MacdCrossOver(anotherSeries.Close, LongCycle, ShortCycle, MACDPeriod);
            if (_MACD.MACD.Last(1) < _MACD.Signal.Last(1) && _MACD.MACD.Last(0) > _MACD.Signal.Last(0) && _MACD.Signal.Last(0) < 0)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, volume, "korakodmy", StopLoss, TakeProfit, 5);
            }

            if (_MACD.MACD.Last(1) > _MACD.Signal.Last(1) && _MACD.MACD.Last(0) < _MACD.Signal.Last(0) && _MACD.Signal.Last(0) > 0)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, volume, "korakodmy", StopLoss, TakeProfit, 5);
            }
        }

    }

}

Hi,

Apologies the code had a small mistake. The anotherSeries was not passed into the MacdCrossOver() function. Can you try the below and let me know?

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            var anotherSeries = MarketData.GetSeries(AnotherTimeFrame);
            _MACD = Indicators.MacdCrossOver(anotherSeries, LongCycle, ShortCycle, MACDPeriod);
            if (_MACD.MACD.Last(1) < _MACD.Signal.Last(1) && _MACD.MACD.Last(0) > _MACD.Signal.Last(0) && _MACD.Signal.Last(0) < 0)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, volume, "korakodmy", StopLoss, TakeProfit, 5);
            }

            if (_MACD.MACD.Last(1) > _MACD.Signal.Last(1) && _MACD.MACD.Last(0) < _MACD.Signal.Last(0) && _MACD.Signal.Last(0) > 0)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, volume, "korakodmy", StopLoss, TakeProfit, 5);
            }

Best Regards,

Hi cfuorvito@gmail.com

You need to pass the series returned into anotherSeries variable into the MacdCrossOver() function. See example below

protected override void OnBar()
        {
            var anotherSeries = MarketData.GetSeries(AnotherTimeFrame);
            _MACD = Indicators.MacdCrossOver(LongCycle, ShortCycle, MACDPeriod);
            if (_MACD.MACD.Last(1) < _MACD.Signal.Last(1) && _MACD.MACD.Last(0) > _MACD.Signal.Last(0) && _MACD.Signal.Last(0) < 0)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, volume, "korakodmy", StopLoss, TakeProfit, 5);
            }

            if (_MACD.MACD.Last(1) > _MACD.Signal.Last(1) && _MACD.MACD.Last(0) < _MACD.Signal.Last(0) && _MACD.Signal.Last(0) > 0)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, volume, "korakodmy", StopLoss, TakeProfit, 5);
            }
        }

Let me know if the above helps,

Best Regards,

Hi trungnga999c,

Your broker is the most appropriate to give an answer to this question. However, I can highlight below some points you should have in mind when following signals and seeing such deviations in execution.

1. Do you use the same broker as the signal provider? Different brokers might offer different liquidity and pricing at the same moment resulting into different execution price.
2. Do you have the same account type? Different account types might have different spread and offer different commission, affecting again the execution price.
3. Do you trade the same volume? Larger volumes might lead to larger slippage.
4. Execution time. Unavoidably, signal followers will execute their trades after signal providers, therefore there is always the possibility to get worse prices.

I hope that the above helps you clarifying the situation.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
