OnBar event and ticks volume
09 Feb 2019, 18:56

Hello Ctrader Coders

I am thinking to build a Robot that makes operation based:

0- Timeframe h1.

1- Candle close.

2- Volume of Ticks.

As Image below.

Our moderator of this forum propose this code to get the event candle event onBar. That is fine I got it.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;
 
namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }
 
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Put your initialization logic here
        }
 
        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Put your core logic here
        }
 
        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }

         protected override void OnBar()
        {
            // Ticks summarized goes here.
        }
    }
}

I have two questions.

1- OnBar event triggers when a new Bar comes to the chart or when a latest bar closes?

2- How I can get the volume of ticks as number like the provided example of the chart(Tick Bar Up) in a proggramatic way.?

I really appreciate every help provided.

Hi erisoftdevelop,

Thanks for posting in our forum. Regarding your questions

1) As soon as a new Bar comes to the chart.

2) You can use MarketSeries.TickVolume. See below an example

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Put your initialization logic here
        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            Print(MarketSeries.TickVolume.Last(1));
        }

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

Best Regards,

Thanks Panagiotis Charalampous

Can you answer me a couple of questions please:

1- How can i get the data Open, High, Low, Close,Tick Volume for the 10bars before the current bar?

2- Is there any way to get the count of the ticks realtime of the current bar?

3- How to get the data Open, High, Low, Close, Tick Volume using Date and Time(Example get the Data of the bar Yesterday 10:15am)?

Thanks in advance for the answers. And you do a great job.

Hi Erick,

1. Through Market Series. An example for let's say close price is MarketSeries.Close.Last(10).

2. Use MarketSeries.TickVolume.LastValue

3. An example to get the close price for 24 hours before MarketSeries.Close[MarketSeries.OpenTime.GetIndexByTime(Server.Time.AddDays(-1))];

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
