You can't and probably that will be the case in live environments too. It takes some time for the server to notify the client application that a position was closed.
Is there a way via code to “ask” the broker directly and not via cTrader properties/events?
It seems the Positions.Closed event is triggered somehow late, meaning AFTER OnTick. So when I run the OnTick the cBot thinks the position is still open (and the position still appears on the Positions property).
How can I know from the OnTick that the position is already closed?
Thanks

You would need to get all the bars from the server and check the high/low. Try M1 to save time.

Hi Panagiotis,
How can that be achieved programmatically?
Symbol.AllTimeHigh would be straight forward but I believe there is no such property available. So, what can be a work around here?
Thank you.
Hi ncel01,
You can load all the bars by using Bars.LoadMoreHistory(). Then you can use Bars.HighPrices.Maximum(Bars.Count) and Bars.LowPrices.Minimum(Bars.Count) to get the respective high and low.

Panagiotis,
Thanks.
Bars.LoadMoreHistory() does not seem to change anything, no matter the time frame. On the other hand, it looks like max/min historical prices are only caught when using monthly bars :
var bars = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Monthly);var maxHistorical = bars.HighPrices.Maximum(bars.Count);var minHistorical = bars.LowPrices.Minimum(bars.Count));
Hi there,
Note that Bars.LoadMoreHistory() currently works only in real time execution and you need to call it until it returns 0, so that all bars have been loaded.
Best regards,
Panagiotis
Right. I was testing it in real time but I was not aware that multiple calls would be (maybe) needed.
However, it looks like for shorter time frames it is not possible go as far back in time, even when all bars are loaded (Bars.LoadMoreHistory() = 0), leading to different results.
Hi ncel01,
It always depends on how much data is available by your broker.
You don't say what kind of text you're wanting to align.
That might be because newbies like me don't have a clue what kind of Text are out there, and coming from other programming languages the immediate practice is, it should not matter, it is Text at the end.
The documentation is lacking, badly organized and probably not maintained, I get constant warnings for obsolete methods when copying examples from the documentation.
This forum post was the single answer to my question as well, otherwise I would not even imagine that half of the properties for Text object is defined with the DrawText method and other half is defined on the base class properties. This is not just ugly, it makes the learning curve extremely steep.
Thanks for the info!
Hi there,
Please let us know which examples are obsolete so that we can update them.
Can we have the cBot that reproduces this problem?

On a separate issue, I'm not receiving email notifications when someone responds to a post in the forums. Are they working?
The issue reported above happened again to me today. AGain the button won't click, I can't stop it. The only way for me to get out of this is to kill cTrader and restart.
When I do that, I do know the “OnStop” even doesn't happen or register, because in my code when a bot instance stops, I have it write information to a text file. All the forex pairs (such as NZDUSD below) don't write anything out when this happens. So whatever terminates the process doesn't cause the “OnStop” even to fire.
I can't figure out exactly how to reproduce it, so am not sending through the full bot code. I do know it happens when I have 26 bot instances running under one instance of cTrader on a VPS using 4GB of memory making all sorts of trades and managing them. Maybe it gets hung when too many ticks come through and it can't handle them? Kind of like when debugging in Visual Studio and if we wait too long it kills the process to safeguard data.
I'm trying to figure out code to send you that easily reproduces this behaviour all the time.

I started this post, thus I'm automatically subscribed. I should have received your response, but nothing. I didn't know until I was browsing today. That's why I was asking. I know about the subscribe feature.
However, I received a notification about your most recent response, so that tells me 1) either you somehow responded differently over the weekend (being an admin and all) that cause me to not receive anything or 2) the service was down for some reason.
Thank you
Hi firemyst,
We didn't change anything neither we are aware of any issues. Make sure the email did not end in your spam folder.
Could you pleasesend us some troubleshooting information the next time this happens? Please paste a link to this discussion inside the text box before you submit it.
This happens due to lazy loading. For the Calculate() method to be called, you need to access an Output IndicatorDataSeries. Else you will need to call the method explicitly from your cBot.

Hi there,
Deal map is not available in cTrader for Mac at the moment.
