Hi patrock333,

There are several ways you could achieve this like writing on a file or using pipes. You should select the best approach based on your own needs.

RE:

Thanks for the quick reply Panagiotis.

I thought about writing to file but then the cbots would have to check the file constantly and I am concerned about time delays.

I wasn't aware of pipes for C#. I will read up on it.

Hi Panagiotis.

Does cTrader impose any limitations on communication between cBots running on different accounts: 1) on the same computer running two instances of cTrader, or 2) on two different computers? I am trying to separate concerns for each cBot.

Hi patrock333,

No we do not impose any limitations.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to pass data between two or more running cBots.

Eg. One cBot running on the AUDUSD symbol passing data to another cBot on NZDUSD to help in triggering an event.

 

Thanks.

Static variables would work wonders for you.

Static variables are shared across multiple instances of the same indicator on different charts, so hopefully they would also be shared between bot instances of the same bot.

However, they probably won't be shared between different bots.

It'll save the hassle and slowness of reading/writing files to/from the file system.
