Ok, so in this post you use a function:

/forum/whats-new/1463

 private int GetIndexByDate(MarketSeries series, DateTime time)
        {
            for (int i = series.Close.Count - 1; i > 0; i--)
            {
                if (time == series.OpenTime[i])
                    return i;
            }
            return -1;
        }

We don't need to use this function or multitime frames anymore? because its implemented as a method, correct?

Yes that is correct.

There are plans for it but we cannot provide an ETA at the moment.

Thank you for the suggestion. This should be implemented in the future but at the time being we cannot provide an ETA for it.

Thank you for the feedback. We are currently working on the improvements you mentioned for the backtesting as well as Visual Studio integration.

We are planning to enhance the DrawText methods to support additional features including specifying X, Y coordinates for static position texts.

The "index" that is the parameter to the Calculate method, is the index of the series that the instance is attached to. The series of other timeframes / symbols have different indexes. So, to get the index of a specific series you would need to use a method such as GetIndexByTime and GetindexbyExactTime.

example:

        MarketSeries series;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            series = MarketData.GetSeries(Symbol, TimeFrame.Daily);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            var index2 = series.OpenTime.GetIndexByExactTime(MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue);
            if (index2 > 0)
                var close = series.Close[index2];
        }

The difference between the two is that GetIndexByTime returns the closest index to the open time, whereas the GetindexbyExactTime will only return an index if there is one at the exact time and will return -1 otherwise.

Been asking about range bars for a while and no news.

At this stage I am better off paying someone a few hundred $ to make up the indicator.

The implementation of range bars is in progress.

Wouldn't that expose .algo files to including malware ? I mean anyone can include anything in the .algo files and since the content will not be inspectable, a developer can put malware in the .algo file and no one can discover it.

 

Spotware said:

Starting from the next version algo files will be protected. Also, algo files will be automatically installed, so it will be easier to distribute them.
All referenced dll's will be included into the algo file.

 

If the source code is attached it is recommended to read it before running. 
We recommend not to run .algo files without source code from not trusted publishers.

Does this always have to be done when dealing with calculations that need the past value of it self in order to complete?

Yes. The data series will be populated with NAN initially, so if you are trying to access past values they should contain some value such as zero or the closing price.

RE:

isn't the code in the example wrong? It reads:

foreach (var position in Positions)
{
    ClosePosition(positions);
}

There is o variable positions, right? shouldn't it be:

foreach (var position in Positions)
{
    ClosePosition(position);
}

???

Yes, thank you for pointing that out.

This should be released in about 2 weeks in cTrader. Not in cTrader Web at the moment.
