We can recommend you to try other data modes:

• m1 bars (open prices)
• tick data mode

Great job Spotware! The genetic algorithm is great, really clever stuff. I have a single request. 

Can we ask the optimizer to try all 28 of the major symbols and tell us what the ideal parameters are for all pairs combined? I want to avoid tuning a bot to an individual symbol. Currently I will have to run the optimizer 28 times and exhaustively compare the results.

Thanks again.

Do you want to find the Symbol that shows the best results?

That is not possible at the moment. We plan to implement such functionality in the future. However you can manually add corresponding indicators using Indicators menu:

var position = Positions.Find(MyLabel);

You need to check position variable for null before accessing it:

if (position != null)
{
   ...
}

It looks like there is the ClickOnce issue. The most common way to resolve ClickOnce issues is to uninstall the application, and then perform the installation again.

If it does not help, we recommend remove the ClickOnce file directory and install application again:

To clear ClickOnce file directory

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

2. Into the Open field, enter C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Apps, then click OK. This will open Windows Explorer. ( %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Apps)

For windows xp the path it is different, so the command will be the below 

       %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\

3. Delete the folder names **2.0**         
4. Reinstall the application

is possible to obtain the same result in another way?

Don't think so. If you find a solution, please post it here.

We can recommend you 2 things:

• add a try catch statement to the somethingToRunInThread method. It is the best practice to add try catch block to the separate thread even if you think it is safe.
• obtain all required data in the main thread (OnTimer method) and then pass it to somethingToRunInThread method using any synchronization mechanism

You can use Label for such purpose.

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = "cBot unique identifier")]
        public string Label { get; set; }

When you open position, you need to use Label:

ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, someVolume, Label);

Then you will be able to calculate profit/loss for positions with that specific label:

var pnl = Positions.FindAll(Label).Sum(position => position.NetProfit);

You can also close all positions with specific label:

            foreach (var position in Positions.FindAll(Label))
            {
                ClosePosition(position);
            }

I had a similar problem.

Currently I am setting a timer with the first interval for to be fired at expected time of bar in a different timeframe and in the handler I restart the timer with the interval adjusted for the next bar. I have to recalculate the interval in the handler every time due to the handler being fired

Are there any better solutions to generate OnBar() events for a timeframe that is different from the one selected on a chart or specified as a parameter in backtester/optimizer?

No, there is no at the moment. We plan to add OnBar event to the MarketSeries object.
