If you use high-frequency algorithmic trading it's better to get VPS in London. If you trade on large timeframes - your latency is ok as far as you don't have connectivity issues (i mean if your internet connection is good enough).

For manual trading I guess it's ok, anyway VPS will not help you for this.

Right, this is wrong. You need to pass your exact robot type to custom class:

public class CustomClass
{
    private MyRobot _robot;
 
    public CustomClass(MyRobot robot)
    {
        _robot = robot;
    }
 
    public void Print(string message)
    {
         _robot.PrintToLog(message)
    }
}

You can declare public method in robot:

public class MyRobot : Robot
{
    public void PrintToLog(string message)
    {
        Print(message);
    }
}

And then call it from another class:

public class CustomClass
{
    private cAlgo.API.Robot _robot;

    public CustomClass(cAlgo.API.Robot robot)
    {
        _robot = robot;
    }

    public void Print(string message)
    {
         _robot.PrintToLog(message)
    }
}

Here is a workaround for colors: /algos/indicators/show/289

You can use something similar for other things.

I hope cAlgo team will implement native support for this in future.

Try Trade.IsExecuting

There is no such function but you can implement robot that takes live prices and saves it to a file.

You can use tick volume or some volatility indicators, for example Average True Range. I also use statistics for several days to determine which time is more volatile, not only current values.

You can easily use VPS to host cAlgo. You just go to any VPS provider you want, it can be providers that offer special VPS for traders or in general any VPS provider. You get access to virtual PC, install cAlgo there and run it. That's all. No broker involvement needed, but sometimes brokers can offer VPS with better conditions. I usually run cAlgo 24/5, and restart/update it on weekends.

cAlgo can be run on VPS with 500mb of memory, but I would recommend to use 1gb. If you need low latency VPS it's better to choose something located in London.

That's it:

    [Indicator(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, ScalePrecision = 5)]
    public class MyIndicator : Indicator
    {

    }

This is right. But optimizing on 14 years of data sounds also strange. Do you really think that behavior of traders and markets stays the same for 14 years? A lot of things changed since 1999. My opinion is that 4-6 years must be enought. 2.5 years is not enought in general, but it's better than 1 year :)

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Indicators

    [Indicator(IsOverlay = false)]
    public class CloseLessSma : Indicator

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 14)]

        [Output("Main")]

There are brokers with minimum account much less than 2000€.

I think you always can go to cAlgo from cTrader using "cAlgo" broker even if you they do not allow to download it from there site :)
