RE: Error when opening cTrader

Hi

I'm getting the following error when opening cTrader. I have to Force Quit and go back to my Windows VM. I have tried reinstalling it.

Using Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71) on M2 Max.

Hi there,

Can you please install the latest update and let us know if it resolves the issue?

Best regards,

HI PanagiotisCharalampous,

Did you guys manage to reproduce the issue?

Hi there,

Yes and we are working on a solution.

Thanks @PanagiotisCharalampous. Is there a temporary solution/hack I could use locally while you're guys finishish a proper fix? It's just a showstopper that stops the whole work I'm doing. 

Unfortunately there isn't. It seems that some data of the specific broker is corrupted and needs to be fixed

RE: String to double conversion

AndreaPereira said: 

Hi Panagiotis,

I trade gold in lots. For example 0.22 units. Thanks for the help.

 

 

Hi Andrea,

It seems you are converting your Quantity from quantity to volume in units. Hence the input is translated to lots, not to units. What symbol are you trading and what is the lot size?

Best regards,

Panagiotis

 

Hi Andrea,

What is the lot size of your broker e.g. for IC Markets is 100 units per lot. So if you type 0.22, it will trade 22 Oz of gold.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

RE: RE: String to double conversion

AndreaPereira said: 

Good morning, thanks, I will try to do as you say. 

14-01---ok I managed it but it gives me a problem. I put a textBox that takes a string and saves it in the Quantity variable. The latter is linked to the Button_Click_Buy function. In the execution phase I enter a value in the textbox, for example 0.10, I click the button and it opens the position without the decimal part so 10.00.
Another example: I enter 0.01 and set the variable to 1.00. What did I do wrong? Thank's my friend.

 [Parameter("Quantity (Lots)", Group = "Volume", DefaultValue = 0.20, MinValue = 0.01, Step = 0.01)]
 public double Quantity { get; set; }
 --
 --
 --
 private void TextBox_TextChanged(TextChangedEventArgs obj)
     {
         Quantity = Convert.ToDouble(obj.TextBox.Text);
     }

 

public void Button_Click_Buy(ButtonClickEventArgs obj)
    {
        var volumeInUnits = Symbol.QuantityToVolumeInUnits(Quantity);
        ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, volumeInUnits, "zero");
    }

Hi Andrea,

You can use Convert.ToDouble() method.

Hi Ryan,

You can use a flag to achieve this e.g. bool CanTrade. Set it to false when a trade is taken and then set it back to true when a new bar is opened.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

 

Thanks Panagiotis,

I have attempted the code below, but believe I am missing something as it places multiple trades per bar, but trader per bar after bar is opened. I attempted to limit positions with Positions.Count, but that stops it being placed per bar. 

 

Have I missed something?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

private bool _canTrade;
private int barCountSinceLastPosition;
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            _ema1 = Indicators.GetIndicator<SampleEMA>(Source1, Period1);
            _ema2 = Indicators.GetIndicator<SampleEMA>(Source2, Period2);
             _ema3 = Indicators.GetIndicator<SampleEMA>(Source3, Period3);
            _rsi = Indicators.RelativeStrengthIndex(Source3, Period3);
           
           Bars.BarOpened += Bar_Opened;
         }
        
           void Bar_Opened(BarOpenedEventArgs args)
                   {
                      _canTrade = false;
            
                   }

            var Ema2i = _ema2.Result.Last(2);
            var Ema3 = _ema3.Result.LastValue;

            {
                
                   if (Positions.Count(x => x.TradeType == TradeType.Sell && x.Label == InstanceName) == 0)
                
                         {
                               double volume = Symbol.QuantityToVolumeInUnits(lotsize);
                               ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, SymbolName, volume, InstanceName, SL, TP);

Hi Ryan,

_canTrade needs to be set to false in OnTick() and to true in OnBar()

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Thanks Panagiotis,

Could you share an example code for this? 

I have added OnBar() but multiple trades are still opening. Have I placed everything correctly?

Hi Ryan,

The flag needs to be set to false immediately after the order is executed. You seem to set it to false at random positions. Unfortunately I do not have the time to write the entire strategy for you. If you are not able to code this yourself, you can request for professional assistance.

cTrader Copy works using an equity to equity model. Therefore the volume will be proportional to your strategy provider's volume. You cannot chance the volume yourself.
