Dear alpha_austin,

Thanks for posting your questions in the forum. Regarding the timeframe selection, indeed you can select it either from the chart or from the cBot parameters. It is just two ways of doing the same thing. The purpose of having the timeframe in the cBot parameters as well is better usability as it allows users to see all the parameters affecting a cBot at one place.

Regarding your backtesting results, they depend on the cBot itself. In order to provide an explanation to the cBots backtesting resutls you will need to provide us with the cBot's source code.

Dear conny.rosenberg@gmail.com,

If you are signing in using the same cTID on both platforms then you should be able to see the same accounts. Could you please post some screenshots of the two platforms so we can see the issue?

Dear hungtonydang,

The parameter is a DateTime. See more info here. You need to specify the exact date time that the order expires. See an example below

var datetime = new DateTime(2017,8,16,11,25,0);
PlaceLimitOrder(TradeType, Symbol, Volume, targetPrice);

Dear mparama,

Thank you for clarifying this. What kind of charts would you like to overlap? If you give us more specific requirements then we or a community member might be able to propose a solution.

Hi hungtonydang,

You could try something like the following. You can record the time of the last executed order and then check if 24 hours have passed from the last order or not

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            if (_lastExecutedOrder.AddHours(24) < DateTime.Now)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 1000);
                _lastExecutedOrder = DateTime.Now;
            }
        }

Hi andi21,

Thanks for your questions.

1) Stop Loss and Take Profit are executed on the server no matter in which platform you set them, cAlgo or cTrader. It is Advanced Stop Loss and Advanced Take Profit that require cTrader to be running. See more info here http://help.spotware.com/trading/positions#advanced_take_profit

2) Regarding the trade side of stop loss, this is something that will be included in a future release of cAlgo.

Dear deltrader.pt@gmail.com,

What do you mean when you say that the pending order should move along with the ASK price? Do you mean that you need to place a limit/stop order 5 pips away from the ask price?

Dear hungtonydang,

Stop Loss and Take Profit are executed on the server, therefore it does not matter whether your cBot is running or not. Since your logic will not be executed when you have a position open, why do you need to stop the cBot from running? If you elaborate a bit on what you need to do, maybe somebody could propose a better way to handle this.

Dear BeardPower,

Indeed the idea of Connect API is to be open and allow users to integrate cTrader Platform with other software systems. Yes it is possible to do the integration yourself. Just create a Connect API application and we will get in touch with you.

Dear hungtonydang,

Thanks for posting in our forum. If you just need to have one position open at a time, you can check the number of open positions before executing your logic. See a small example below

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            if (Positions.Count == 0)
            {
                // Execute your logic here
            }
        }

Please let us know if the above is helpful for you.

Dear Trader,

Thanks for posting your question in the forum. Currently, it is not possible to get a specific range of cashflow history using the Connect API. You will need to filter the results on your side. We will consider this suggestion for future releases of Connect API.

Dear hungtonydang,

Currently there is no function that places an order based on the output of an indicator. You need to program this yourself.

Thanks for your suggestion for the example. We will be adding more examples in the Guide in the near future.

Dear nullx8,

You can have a look at the TimeZones class here. It can be used as a parameter in your robot. We hope this answers your question.
