No, it is not currently possible to read/modify chart objects. We plan to implement such functionality in the future.

Thanks, but (how) can I use my own tickdata (csv or in another format - mte's fxt-files), or the tickdata from e.g. Dukascopy?

cAlgo doesn't provide such functionality. We will consider to implement it in the future.

In order to use tick data backtesting you need to follow these steps:

1. Open Backtesting tab
2. Click on Settings button
3. Select "Tick data" mode instead of m1 bars
   
4. Select date period
5. Click on Start button

You can hide some lines completely:

1. Remove Output attribute from data series which you would like to hide
2. Initialize such data series in Initialize method:

MyHiddenSeries = CreateDataSeries();

OHLC data mode quarantines that second tick in every minute is the highest price of current minute and all other ticks in current minute will have smaller prices. It is extra information that could cause misleading Optimization and Backtesting results. That is why we decided to remove OHLC data mode from backtesting and optimization.

You can obtain market series for specific timeframe using MarketData.GetSeries method:

var marketSeries = MarketData.GetSeries(TimeFrame.Hour);

Then you can create EMA over series from marketSeries: 

var ems = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(marketSeries.Close, 14);

Thank you. Implementation should be nice, for moving self made objects on the graph.

I need a fan with more lines than the Fibonacci-fan ( a Gann-fan with fixed angles).

You said there is no such functionality,  reading the position in the graph in an other way, for instance to read the position of a horizontal line and a vertical line is not possible as well?

Ability to read position of chart object will be also added in the future.

There is a chance that backtesting cache became corrupted. Try to remove folder C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\%Broker Name% cAlgo\BacktestingCache and try your experiment again.

Tick data backtesting is more accurate than m1 backtesting. If you use m1 data for optimization, please backtest your cBot with tick data after that.

Why are you not satisfied with m1 open prices data mode?

We decided to remove m1 OHLC mode because it provides extra information to cBot during backtesting. Imagine that you could collect prices during a minute, than choose the highest/lowest one, go back in time and trade at that price. It is not possible in live running, but OHLC data mode worked in that way in backtesting. That is why we decided to replace it to open prices data mode.

I left my m2 chart open for the day with this indicator. Opened it at around 00.00 Oct 15

The indicator above is accurate when it is being generated in real time. But the historical results are not right.

Does that mean there is something wrong with the indicator or is the problem with the way calgo/ctrader is generating the historical data?

I believe this is why it is hard to get accurate results when backtesting usng this indicator since it seems to generate historical data inaccurately or not per tick.

Do you see what i mean?

 

Most probably problem is in your indicator

Probably ClickOnce cache became corrupted on your machine.

Please perform the following steps to clean the ClickOnce cache:

1. Hold down the Win key, and press R. The Run box should appear.

2. Into the Open field, enter %LOCALAPPDATA%\Apps for Windows 8.1, Windows 7, and Windows Vista or %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Apps for Windows XP

3. Then click OK.

4. This will open Windows Explorer.

5. Delete the folder names 2.0

6. Reinstall the application

So I wrote an algorithm that works beautifully while backtesting with m1 open bars, but fails with tick-data. The algorithm itself has no logic that executes every tick, so I was thinking that it shouldn't matter, but apparantly it does. Why is this, and can it be adjusted in some way?

Which version of cAlgo do you use? You can find it in menu Help -> About

We have changed m1 data mode in cAlgo 1.27. Since now we generate 1 tick (open price) per minute bar.

Try something like this:

and
