OK. Is there a workaround for this case? I'd try to make an order with an opposite trade type and same label, but it creates new position.

That will work only in netting accounts.

As a workaround you can create several positions with the same direction and close some of them when you decide to perform partial close.

No, it is not possible. However you can write custom indicator that shows 8 lines for different symbols.

Please send the following issue details to troubleshooting@spotware.com:

• symbol
• timeframe
• broker name
• bar open time
• is it backtesting chart? If so, please specify data mode (tick data or minute bars)

However, is it possible to download the optimization data for further analysis?

It is not possible at the moment.

Specifically I would like to be able to EITHER:

1. Download the optimisation results, complete with parameters so I can use third party anaylsis tools
2. See more powerful data mining features on the cAlgo GUI
   1. For example, 3D graphing of input parameters against outcomes

Do you plan to implement anything like this in the near future?

Yes, we plan to implement such functionality in the future.

Hello,

Yes, that is correct. The advanced protection functionality concerns only live positions.

This, involving the pending orders as well, is actually being considered to be implemented in the future.

For now you can only set a single take profit option for pending orders.

Best regards

Is there an option to limit the amount of trades per day? Regardless of symbol\ positions size\ cBot execution\ etc....

Just to be clear: I would like to be able to limit the amount of trades to 30, per day.

Hello,

No, at the moment such an option does not exist.

Yes, you can save and load cBot parameters. Find Load and Save commands in cBot context menu in cAlgo 1.27. Load and Save buttons are also available in cBot Parameters window in cTrader 1.27.

Any idea if backtesting multiple symbols and timeframes will be available soon?

Are there any other options for me available anywhere where i can backtest multiple currency/symbol cbots?

 

 

multi-timeframe backtesting is already available. We cannot provide an ETA but multi-symbol backtesting is planned.

Error "Value does not fall within the expected range" happens when you kill the dsfvc.exe process while it's installing/preparing your installation after an update has been downloaded.

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

Please look at Balance Chart in backtesting screenshot. You can see that your cBot opened 1 position and didn't close it.

RE:

If you can see cBot in cAlgo, it means algo file was created.

cAlgo doesn't supports multiple cBots per solution. It means when you will click build cBot, only one algo file will be created. 

For multiple cBots editing use VS.

SkyAction said:

Hello,

I did exactly what you said and the algo file is not present.

I see the Robot in the cAlgo, but it tell me that the source code is unavailable.

Any ideas ?

When you create an indicator you can pass DataSeries or MarketSeries object:

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            var m1_series = MarketData.GetSeries(TimeFrame.Minute);
            var sma_m1 = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(m1_series.Close, 14);

            var m5_series = MarketData.GetSeries(TimeFrame.Minute5);
            var aroon_m5 = Indicators.Aroon(m5_series, 21);
        }

RE:

Currently VS extension doesn't support creating Algo Projects. You can use next workaround  in case you want to add an algo project right from VS.

1. Add a Class Library project to your solution.

2. Unload project  (right click on unloaded project in solution explorer)

3. Edit project (from solution explorer)

4. Add following line right bellow <ProjectGuid> tag

    <ProjectTypeGuids>{DD87C1B2-3799-4CA2-93B6-5288EE928820};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>

5. Reload project 

6. Add cbot class

7. Build it.

Hi,

I would like to know how to add a second Robot in the same solution (visual studio) than a other one.

I already have a solution with a robot that a created via cAlgo. Now i would like add a new robot to this solution directly from Visual Studio.

I tried to create a library and create a robot in it. The compilation was perfect but i don't see it in cAlgo.

The .algo file is not created.

 

Can you explain how to create this algo file in the right directory. I'm using VS 2013.

 

Regards,

 

Sky.

Hello jobenb,

Yes, we can reproduce the performance issue. Yes, we know how to fix it. However we cannot provide a time estimate for the release. We will send you an email message when it will be resolved.
