RE: So, rebuild for cAlgo?

Jeex, if you're interested, you and I can code the algorithm together. I agree that the original code has "too much" and a lot of it can be cut down. 

At the same time, I currently work with institutional price feeds. My spreads typically range between 0.0-1.0 pips plus a commission. It may something that can help in the performance of this model.

Let me know if you're interested.

RE: tested and not happy

jeex said:

Tested the EA in a live account and was not happy. The beautiful straight line up in backtesting is almost the same in a live account, except now its going straight down. Too much slippage and volatility within a bar, that is not considered during backtesting. This EA needs optimal conditions to make money.

That's unfortunate. Would it be viable perhaps running it on a higher timeframe?

No idea why this works, but I simply placed the line below in PublishTweet and it ran with no problems.

Console.WriteLine("Tweet has{0}been published", t.Publish(argToken) ? " " : " not ");

public static void PublishTweet(IToken argToken, string argTweet)
        {
            ITweet t = new Tweet(argTweet);
            Console.WriteLine("Tweet has{0}been published", t.Publish(argToken) ? " " : " not ");
        }

Yes I understand you could do that. I don't think that would serve its purpose in this code.

I am also of the opinion that there should exist only a few "miracle machines" that make constant profits over several years without changing the settings. My current live-robot has almost 30 parameters and because of the market dynamics I'll have to change the settings after a few months ..

If it's not too much to ask, how do you go about knowing when to change these settings? Not to mention to what?

You're trading 1.0 standard lots with $1000 initial balance. I would say that's a little bit over-leverage.

In order to run something like this, you would definitely need leverage greater than 100:1. Floating loss must also be factored when it comes to managing your margin.

Hi,

I just ran your code on the GBPCAD, and got the error:

"Crashed in OnStart with NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

The bold didn't format correctly. Lines 34-38 is what I am talking about.

string CurrencyOne = "CAD";
string CurrencyTwo = "USD";
try
{
	Symbol USDCAD = MarketData.GetSymbol(CurrencyOne + CurrencyTwo);
	Print("USDCAD {0}", USDCAD);
}
finally
{
	Symbol USDCAD = MarketData.GetSymbol(CurrencyTwo + CurrencyOne);
	Print("USDCAD {0}", USDCAD);
}

I am trying to make use of the try...finally block. Upon testing it, it seems like the finally block isn't executing. The above shows an example of what I am doing. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks. :)

RE: Library of Trading Tools

This article explains how  import the cAlgo.API.dll in your project. - http://carbonfx.io/2013/08/using-visual-studio-with-calgo/

Once you make the necessary links, you can start building different tools for your projects and import these functions through

using CarbonFx.Utilities; // example
 

Thank you very much, I'll give it a shot. :)

Thanks for the link! I just gave it a test and it actually worked. :)

The ability to communicate through different instances of cAlgo is still handy, I will take a look at the software you recommended. 

Thanks again!

When I try to compile this, I get the error "The name 'Close' does not exist in the current context".

I'm trying to create a library of common functions that I will use in future cBots.

Some help would be great! Thanks

 

Fixed it, was just a silly mistake. 

Correction:

Trade.Close(position);
