Execute Market Orders and Stop Orders in all Symbols with just one bot

Open buy and sell and stop orders in all symbols, not just one

In particular, I can do this with one pair:

 ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
 ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
 PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, Symbol.Ask + 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);
 PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, Volume, Symbol.Bid - 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);

How do I do that with multiple pairs?

Open buy and sell and stop orders in all symbols, not just one

This is the code for one pair:

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 OpenPositions : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Volume", DefaultValue = 1000, MinValue = 1, Step = 1)]
        public int Volume { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
            PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, Symbol.Ask + 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);
            PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, Volume, Symbol.Bid - 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);
            // Put your initialization logic here
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Put your core logic here
        }

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

How can I do this for multiple selected pairs?

Hi ryanoia@gmail.com,

See below

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 OpenPositions : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Volume", DefaultValue = 1000, MinValue = 1, Step = 1)]
        public int Volume { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            var gbpusd = MarketData.GetSymbol("GBPUSD");
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, gbpusd, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, gbpusd, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
            PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, gbpusd, Volume, gbpusd.Ask + 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);
            PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, gbpusd, Volume, gbpusd.Bid - 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);

            var gbpjpy = MarketData.GetSymbol("GBPJPY");
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, gbpjpy, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, gbpjpy, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
            PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, gbpjpy, Volume, gbpjpy.Ask + 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);
            PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, gbpjpy, Volume, gbpjpy.Bid - 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);

            var gbpcad = MarketData.GetSymbol("GBPCAD");
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, gbpcad, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, gbpcad, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
            PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, gbpcad, Volume, gbpcad.Ask + 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);
            PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, gbpcad, Volume, gbpcad.Bid - 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Put your core logic here
        }

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

Thanks. 

As a way of contributing to the community, this also worked too:

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 HolyGrailAllPairs : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Volume", DefaultValue = 1000, MinValue = 1, Step = 1)]
        public int Volume { get; set; }

        public enum ConsideredPairs
        {
            NZDCAD,
            NZDJPY,
            NZDUSD
        }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            foreach (string singlePair in Enum.GetNames(typeof(ConsideredPairs)))
            {
                Symbol Symbol = MarketData.GetSymbol(singlePair);
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, Volume, "order 1", null, 11, null);
                PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, Symbol.Ask + 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);
                PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, Volume, Symbol.Bid - 16 * Symbol.PipSize, "myStopOrder", null, 11, null);
            }
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Put your core logic here
        }

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

I hope my 2 other queries get answered.

By the way, since we're talking, what is the difference between executemarketorderasync and executemarketorder only? is one better than the other?

My understanding is, if it's executemarketorder, this needs to be processed first before the bot proceeds to execute the next line in command. If it's executemarketorderasync, then everything executes independent of one another. Is my understanding on point?

Ηi ryanoia@gmail.com,

Yes you understood it correct. If your logical sequency is not dependent on the outcome of the market order execution, then you should probably use ExecuteMarketOrderAsync.

Thanks for the quick response.

Just for clarification, every command (not sure if I labeled this correctly) can be async, like modifyposition, etc. 

ryanoia@gmail.com

or even notifications.sendemail i.e. notifiactions.sendemailasync

No need to answer that, just found the answer myself. Answer is, not all commands have an async counterpart.

Thanks.
