Hi ycomp,

This is not possible in cTrader. Charts are always drawn based on the Ask price. If you would like to see such a feature in cTrader, you can post a suggestion in the Suggestions section.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi Paul,

The behavior is correct. ChikouSpan is a line that plots recent prices n periods ago. On current bar it's value is NaN. See below

In order to get the last ChikuSpan value, you need to use the following code.

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 IchimokuKinkoHyoTest : Robot
    {
        IchimokuKinkoHyo ihk;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            ihk = Indicators.IchimokuKinkoHyo(9, 26, 32);
        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            var index = MarketSeries.Close.Count - 1;
            Print(ihk.TenkanSen[index]);
            Print(ihk.KijunSen[index]);
            Print(ihk.SenkouSpanA[index]);
            Print(ihk.SenkouSpanB[index]);          
            Print(ihk.ChikouSpan[index - 26]);
        }

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

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi croucrou,

Could you please explain, what does it mean exactly. Will it be possible to modify volume of a position during backtesting?

Yes you should be able to do that.

 Are you able to say when could the update be possibly expected?

We do not have a release date yet but we are testing this feature so it should be out soon.

Best Regards,

Ηι Paul,

What made you conclude that the ChikouSpan value is wrong? Do you have any expected vs real values? Could we have a fully working example of the export to check that? This information would make it easier for us to assist you.

Panagiotis

Hi obaum1@gmail.com,

when the target price is triggered now I have two running positions 

This is not true. If you use tag 721, your order will pe placed to the specified position, hence in this case it will close the position instead of opening a new one.

Each  trade commission is around 0.08 -> so I payed 0.16 in commission because I opened two positions.

If I open my position via Connect API I can set TakeProfit & StopLoss and the position will "close it self" and I paid 0.08

Commissions are per side (open/close). You will pay 0.08 when you open a position and 0.08 when you close a position. So in both cases you will pay 0.16. 

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi obaum1@gmail.com,

Can you please clarify what do you mean when you say that you have two positions? When you enter the marker with your market order at 1.17852, a position is created. Which is the second one? 

Also why do you say that commissions are higher?

In general the steps of your example are correct. You should also remember when an SL/TP order is executed to cancel the other one.

Hi obaum1@gmail.com,

I would advise you to put the stream.Read() function in a while loop and continue reading the stream until the function returns 0, which is the number of bytes read.

Dear leohermoso,

There could be many reasons that this happens e.g. are the backtesting parameters exactly the same as your broker's settings? In order to explain the difference we will need to have the cBot code and the exact backtesting parameters so that we can reproduce internally and check deals one by one.

Best Regards,

Hi obaum1@gmail.com,

It is not a normal behavior. Are you sure that the messages are indeed returned truncated? The issue could be caused by the way you are reading and parsing the messages. Can you reproduce this using the example project?

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi hungtonydang,

The correct syntax for the foreach loop is the following

foreach (var position in Positions.Find(label))
{
.
.
.
.
}

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

Best Regards,

Hi hungtonydang,

If you know the exact time of the hour you are after then you can specify it as shown below

MarketSeries.OpenTime.GetIndexByExactTime(new DateTime(2017,10,5,10,0,0))

The sample above returns the value for X hours (if you are on the h1 timeframe) before the current time.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Depesh,

There isn't a release date for this feature yet. However it is in the last stages of development so it should come out soon.

Hi obaum1@gmail.com,

It could happen but this is a very rare case. However, in any case you detect a truncated message and you need the server to send it again, there is a Resend Request in the FIX API Rules of Engagement.
