Hi dannyilumi,

See below an example

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//    This code is a cTrader Automate API example.
//
//    This cBot is intended to be used as a sample and does not guarantee any particular outcome or
//    profit of any kind. Use it at your own risk.
//    
//    All changes to this file might be lost on the next application update.
//    If you are going to modify this file please make a copy using the "Duplicate" command.
//
//    The "Sample Trend cBot" will buy when fast period moving average crosses the slow period moving average and sell when 
//    the fast period moving average crosses the slow period moving average. The orders are closed when an opposite signal 
//    is generated. There can only by one Buy or Sell order at any time.

Hi Nobody,

You can use Chart.DrawEquidistantChannel() method.

Hi Sune,

cBot Log only appears after you add a cBot on the chart. See below

Hi Shares4UsDevelopment,

I still need cBot parameters, dates and optimization parameters so that we can reproduce the results you are seeing.

Hi,

I explained to you what is the problem with your code. If you don't know how to solve it or you are not familiar with C# programming, you can ask a professional to help you.

Hi,

IsChecked is not an event handler but a property. It takes a boolean value. This is why you get the error. 

What are you trying to do?

Hi,

If you mean the chart UI controls, then this is not possible. WinForms have their own controls. You can drag them on the form editor from Visual Studio toolbox.

        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        Button _button;
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            _button = new Button 
            {
                Text = "Click Me 1",
                Top = 100,
                Left = 100
            };
            var canvas = new Canvas 
            {

            canvas.AddChild(_button);
            Chart.AddControl(canvas);
            Chart.MouseMove += OnChartMouseMove;
        }

        void OnChartMouseMove(ChartMouseEventArgs obj)
        {

I forgot to mention, you do not need to write the GUI (presentation) code, just create your form with the controls and open the Form.Designer.cs file and copy and paste into your Indicator, you can can then create nice and clean complex forms in a very short time.

HI

TextBoxes dont work

Please correct it
It can be very useful
Thankful

Hi,

Can you explain what do you mean?

Hi tb135qet13,

There is no such option for this method. you can try Chart.DrawText() instead which allows you to draw text at a specific bar index and price level.
