backtest chart freeze
19 Apr 2024, 14:17

after i added this part, the chart freezes when the spread is not 0

else if (args.Reason == PositionCloseReason.TakeProfit && Symbol.Spread == 0)
            {
                while (Symbol.Spread != 0)    //the new part that i added is from here
                {
                    Thread.Sleep(1000);
                }                             // to here
                
                _lastVolume = 1000;

                ExecuteMarketOrder(_lastTradeType, SymbolName, _lastVolume, "SinglePositionBot", StopLossPips, TakeProfitPips);
                _positionOpened = true;
            }

Hi there,

Your problem is here

                while (Symbol.Spread != 0)    //the new part that i added is from here
                {
                    Thread.Sleep(1000);
                }

If you prevent the cBot from receiving new ticks, the spread will never change.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

the problem is the chart, it should not freeze. if i made any mistake in the code it should still continue the backtest with its errors, by the way it freezes even if i remove the backtesting chart view

oh and i also removed “&& symbol.spread == 0” from the else if line
