SIGNAL TRANSFER
14 Mar 2022, 14:36

Hello dear All !

Stuck again despite excellent coaching from Panagiotis et al. The signals are alternating sell (lawngreen) and liquidation (violet) signals.

I don't get why the signals are not transferred from this IND to the following BOT. Trying to evoke the signal to 'overrun' any misses in the signals by a 

            var b_1 = S2.liq_sellONE.Last(-1);
            var b0 = S2.liq_sellONE.Last(0);
            var b1 = S2.liq_sellONE.Last(1);
            var b2 = S2.liq_sellONE.Last(2);
            var b3 = S2.liq_sellONE.Last(3);

Does not do it. 

Only one sell signal is relayed, despite it's being set to null in every round and the alternating sell ans liquidaiton, in the indicator runs like clockwork.

Hi,

First of all there is a button on editor for posting code, please use it next time!

Your indicator is not consistent with it's output, if you give the same data twice it will return different outputs each time.

You are using OnBar method of cBot, and you are using Last value of indicator outputs, which are not complete and it will always return NAN inside OnBar.

Here are some recommendation for you:

  • If you have time and interest to continue writing C# code, then stop developing cBots/Indicators and instead put some time to learn C# and .NET basics, there are a ton of materials available for free on internet that you can use
  • In case you don't have time or the interest, you can contact one of our consultant companies or post a job request
  • Start small, if you copy some piece of code from one place and another from another place and put it inside a cTrader indicator it will not work
  • When asking help or support, be specific, you can't post 100s of lines of code and ask us to find the issue for you

Thank you. 

Where is this posting button? I have a 'submit' button. 

Where do you explain in your manuals, that OnBar, is not in the use with Last value are not compatible? 

Panagiotis gave me this code blow, using OnBar and Last values for indicator and cbot. Amongst others some of you suggested that it was a case of lazy loading, which then was refuted by Panagiotis.

In my post I specifically ask for why the signals, in the indicator code, are not transferred to the cbot? Which is written on the forum “I don't get why the signals are not transferred from this IND to the following BOT. Trying to evoke the signal to 'overrun' any misses in the signals by a …

Hi,

The code post button:

Regarding OnBar issue, it depends on your indicator code, OnBar is called whenever a new bar opens, and access LastValue of your indicator means that you are trying to get the indicator output for newly created bar, which most probably will be NAN.

Test your indicator on cTrader Visual back test mode, you will see that your indicator only works properly for historical bars, not for newly created bars.

Okay, so how can I access historical data with the onBar method in cBot?

Hi,

You can use any value of your indicator outputs inside OnBar, if you want to use historical values just pass the index of value to output Last method or with [].

The issue is not the cBot or OnBar, the issue is your indicator, fix your indicator first and then use it on a cBot.

Hi

 

I really cannot see the problem with the Indicator.

It produces a perfect array of alternating sell and buy signal.

Using different indices for the Last bar just delays the signal to the cBot.

There is now only one sell and liquidation signal relayed to cBot, then it arrests.

Why does cBot not receive the following signals?

 

Here’s the code.

Hi Bjorn,

Unfortunalely we cannot help you any further with your issue. We spent many hours in the past, pointing out coding inefficiencies in your programing and basic coding mistakes that are not related with the platform but to poor coding skills. The purpose of the community is to help you with technical questions related to the API and the platform. We cannot review hundreds of lines of code to find your mistakes and bugs or program your indicators. Especially when the code is a mess and does not adhere to any professional standard. If you feel that this is beyond your capabilities, I strongly advise you to hire a consultant. 

If you have a specific question about the inner workings of the platform and the API, feel free to ask specific questions and we will provide you with an explanation on how things work alongside with code examples wherever necessary. If you need an example on how to implement a specific scenario, we can also help. If you think something is not working as expected, please provide a short example code that demonstrates the problem and we will investigate. However we cannot fix your project's logic.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
