Hi mindbreaker,

Thanks for your suggestions. Trading API was developed using Google Protocol Buffers protocol for performance reasons, since it is a lighter and faster protocol than JSON. Protocol Buffers is just a protocol and it is not binded to any programming language. Quoting Google below

"Protocol buffers are Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data – think XML, but smaller, faster, and simpler. You define how you want your data to be structured once, then you can use special generated source code to easily write and read your structured data to and from a variety of data streams and using a variety of languages."

Google supports Protocol Buffers for many languages like C#, Java, C++, Go, Objective C, Python, JavaNano and Ruby with more languages coming. 

Currenlty, we do not have any plans offering Trading API through JSON. On the contrary, the next version of the API might feature a Protocol Buffers Accounts API that will offer significant performance improvements to Accounts API users.

Hi hungtonydang,

See the below code sample demonstrating how to listen to the OnPositionsClosed event.

        protected override void OnStart()
        {            
            Positions.Closed += OnPositionsClosed;
        }

        void OnPositionsClosed(PositionClosedEventArgs obj)
        {
         
        }

Dear trvago,

You can use indicators in a cBot by calling the different built-in indicators included in the Indicators namespace. See an example calling the Simple Moving Average indicator below

var sma = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(MarketSeries.Median,14);
var smaLastValue = sma.Result.LastValue;

You can also access custom indicators by following the steps described here.

Dear irmscher9,

It works for cBots as well. See an example below

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {

        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            ChartObjects.DrawText("Sample Text", "Sample Text", StaticPosition.Center);
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            
        }
    }
}

Dear pavan.deshpande,

Thanks for bringing this into our attention. Tag 6 is optional in our execution report. Our FIX API Rules of Engagement states that it is required but this is wrong and will be updated soon. Is there a way to stop your FIX engine from complaining when this tag is missing?

Dear bdfx,

Thanks for reporting this to us. We have forwarded the issue to the product teams of cTrader and cTrader Web to investigate why there is a discrepancy between the values of the two applications. We will keep you updated.

Regarding cAlgo, is it possible to get a sample cBot that reproduces the problem so that we can check that as well?

Hi ales.sobotka@gmail.com,

Thanks for posting your issue in the forum. Do you mean that some data is missing or that the connection is interrupted? If the connection is interrupted, make sure that you are sending/receiving heartbeats to/from the server.

Dear hungtonydang,

Yes the variable needs to be declared. See a more complete example below.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        private DateTime _lastExecutedOrder;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 1000);
            _lastExecutedOrder = DateTime.Now;
        }

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

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }
}

Dear alpha_austin,

In order to place an order in the same direction as a current position, you need to use the position's direction. See an example below.

            var position = Positions[0];
            ExecuteMarketOrder(position.TradeType, Symbol, 1000);

Let us know if the above answers your question.
