Hi there,

Sounds more like a problem with your cBots. Spotware cannot control the quality of the cBot code you run. You should try to optimize them. Else share your cBot code and exact steps how someone can reproduce your problem

PanagiotisChar, thank you for your replying.
The MT4 EA of the same program is working without any problems, so it is unlikely that there is a problem with the cBot code.

Even though the VPS, broker server, and internet are connected and the cBot button is orange and working,
Occasionally, a problem occurs where cBot is stuck and does not trade.

Since the cBot button and the Automete lamp on the chart are in the operating state, it is impossible to determine whether the cBot is moving or stopped.

When cBot is stuck, I can take a screenshot if the cTrader platform displays an error signal, but if there is no error display, I cannot reproduce the problem.

However, if I get suspicious because cBot is not trading where it should be and restart the cTrader platform, cBot will recover and start trading normally.

This kind of situation occurs from once a week to once a month. This often happens during periods of heavy trading.
Is the multi-functionality of the cTrader platform negatively impacting the operation of cBot?

There have been similar posts recently. I think it's probably the same problem.

You also need to post your issues in the appropriate forum, not the “Suggestions” forum. That's like half your problem to start with:

Why don't you just “nullify” your indicator object, and then recreate it?

You have to create and get the indicator data via code when you first start your cBot, so just do it again if you know there's a change.

Legal and Regulations ramifications.

For starters, because Spotware could then be liable if something unexpected happens and/or there's malicious code.

That's why code has to be posted so everyone can see what it does and Spotware is also covered in that respect because you're made aware of what the bot/indicator does.

First of all, you'd have to register an event that the chart has been updated:

Chart.ObjectsUpdated += botHorizontalLineUpdated;

Define the method and do what you need:

private void botHorizontalLineUpdated(ChartObjectsUpdatedEventArgs args)

{

    //these lines are known as small chart horizontal lines

    if (args.ChartObjects[0].GetType().Name == "SmallChartHorizontalLine")
    {
        //Get your line
		ChartHorizontalLine obj = (ChartHorizontalLine)args.Chart.FindObject(TheNameOfYourLine);
		//Do what you need to from here
    }

}

RE: How to reference indicator without it source code

PanagiotisCharalampous said: 

Hi there,

It's not possible to reference an indicator that does not come with source code.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

I'm confused, because I do. I build all my custom libraries and Indicators without including source code, and reference them in my VS cBot projects.

Example:

ctid+customer-395444

Use the HIstoricalTrade object

You could look at the example Spotware provided:

https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-automate/references/Trading/History/HistoricalTrade/#examples

private void Positions_Closed(PositionClosedEventArgs args)
{
	//Only run this method if it's this instance that closed.
	Position p1 = args.Position;

	if  (p1.SymbolName == Symbol.Name && p1.Label == _positionLabel)
	{
		HistoricalTrade ht = History.FindLast(p1.Label, p1.SymbolName, p1.TradeType);
		if (ht != null)
		{
			//DO whatever if there's historical information
    			double cp = ht.ClosingPrice;
			Print("CLosing Price: {0}", cp);
		}
	}

}

AFAIK this has been fixed. Do you still experience this?

I didn't know this was fixed. I will have a look next chance I get as I haven't bothered to check since reporting the issue since it didn't seem to be acknowledged. 

I'm sure you know by now I'm not shy on raising issues, assume no news is good news. :-)

You have to code it yourself to do the calculation if you don't want to use the chart tool to manually show the distance.

Positions.FindAll(yourPosition.yourLabel, Symbol.Name)

You need to give each of your positions a unique label when creating them.

Then, when you start your bot, check for them if you know there's open positions:

Positions.FindAll(yourPosition.yourLabel, Symbol.Name)

RE: RE: CheckBox alwyas clicked

eynt said: 

Thank you.

It does work, however, I have another problem. I changed the code so it would change the indicator's parameter which is called LOAD_INDICATOR. However, although the print says its value is changed, when I go to the object manager to see the indicator's parameter value, over there it's not changed.

 

 

[Parameter(DefaultValue = false)]        public bool LOAD_INDICATOR { get; set; }private void CheckBox_Changed(CheckBoxEventArgs e)        {            Print("CheckBox_Changed 1");            LOAD_INDICATOR = (bool)e.CheckBox.IsChecked;            Print("LOAD_INDICATOR= " + LOAD_INDICATOR);        }

Looks to me like your cast is wrong.

You appear to be converting “e” to a bool, which I'm sure isn't what you want to do. :-)

You haven't added any event handlers to your checkbox.

You also need to add the checkbox to a canvas, and then add the canvas to the chart.

checkBox.Checked += CheckBox_Checked;
checkBox.Unchecked += CheckBox_Unchecked;
Canvas checkboxCanvas = new Canvas();
checkboxCanvas.AddChild(checkBox);
Chart.AddControl(checkboxCanvas);

Have you written anything to the logs or confirmed that the HIST object actually has data and isn't null?

var HIST = History.OrderByDescending ( trade => trade.ClosingTime ) .Take ( 1 ) ;  

 

Yes I tried adding an ExecuteMarketOrder (…….. as part of OnStart  and still no trades after that one , it just does nothing.

UPdate the entirety of your code with a Print statement after every conditional check to see where it gets to.

Unless you're using Visual studio and can debug?
