You can now access it easier with the GetIndexByTime or GetIndexByExactTime methods:

DateTime date = MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastValue.Date;
var firstBarIndex = MarketSeries.OpenTime.GetIndexByTime(date);

Now you can access it easier like this:

MarketSeries.Close.Last(5);

I know we can use MarketSeries.Close.LastValue to obtain the close value last bar, but how do we get the value of the close, say 5 bars ago?

Index = MarketSeries.Close.Count;
... MarketSeries.Close[Index-5]

RE: On Positions Modified

Not yet but we will include an event for positions being updated.

I cannot find if there is a OnPositionsModified. Would come in handy for my Semi-robots.

In nearest future we plan to provide two options:

• Backtesting with tick-data from our server (maximum precision)
• Ability to use one minute data from external source

We will also consider an ability to use tick-data from external source.

 

Hi,

May I ask you why the ability to use one minute data from external source is available, but not the ability to backtest with tick-data from your server?

It seemed that you were going to update the two of them at the same time.

We will release this in the future.

The reason for this is probably the absence of prices at the time. If you use GetIndexByTime this will return the index of the bar of the previous open time if the open time passed in the parameter does not exist.

RE: ... does not exist

Any subscribed method has to be defined. 

See the examples here:

/api/reference/positionclosedeventargs
/api/reference/positionopenedeventargs

jeex said:

Positions.Closed += PositionsOnClosed;

Gives the error: PositionsOnClosed does not exist...

If the referenced indicator is using ChartObjects then it will be displayed in the robot but plotting an IndicatorDataSeries is not yet supported. We will add this feature in future releases.

We plan to add parameters of enum type in robots/indicators then you will be able to do this. At the time being the best way to code this is as you have done with integer.

RE:

There are examples for Maximum here: /api/reference/functions/maximum-6dc9

Thank you for the feedback. We will add more examples to the API Reference.

jeex said:

It seems to me that the API reference is not really up to date any more. Lots of nice features are missing, like for example

MarketSeries.High.Maximum(periods)

Many practical new solutions in cAlgo have te be searched for on the forum. But it's hard searching for things if one does not even know they exist.

Spotware: please update the API reference with the many fine answers and examples that you give in the forum threads.

Indexes from different symbols are different. You should always use GetIndexByTime or GetIndexByExactTime to get index by open time.

Spotware

You have two ways to access current and previous values.

First way is to use indexes:

MarketSeries.High[MarketSeries.High.Count - 1] - current value
MarketSeries.High[MarketSeries.High.Count - 2] - previous value

Second way is to use Last method of DataSeries class:

MarketSeries.High.Last(0) - current value
MarketSeries.High.Last(1) - previous value

Trade.Close is a method of old trading API. If you want to close position partially please use ClosePosition method.

Example:

ClosePosition(position, 10000);

We recommend to use Windows 7. Windows 8.1 also works properly but Windows 8 has a problem with rendering of charts.

With the new API, can you only enter your trade stop losses and takeprofits in pips?  I tryed to use 7.5 pips and it seems its rounding to 8?  You used to be able to put in a specific price for the SL and TP.  If thats not going to be possible, the stoplosspips should accept at least one decimal place.

We are going to support decimal SL and TP in near future. At the moment you can use only integer number of pips.
