Is it possible in C bot?

Hi there,

Yes it is. You need to calculate your candle's duration and then detect when the upcoming closing time is closer that 10 seconds, then execute your logic.

Best regards,

Hi Panagiotis

Could you please tell me how to do that? Do I have to start the bot at the exact hour, like 15:35:00, and then calculate it, or is there an easier way? The bot will be opening trades on a 5-minute chart.

I have created a bot like this, but it only prints "Green candle" after the candle closes; it prints it at exact hours not 10 s before.

using System;
using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
    public class BOT : Robot
    {
        int PeriodInSeconds = 300;
        int Seconds = 10;
        
        protected override void OnBar() // On tick doesn't work either
        {
            var timeToClose = PeriodInSeconds - (Server.Time - MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(1)).TotalSeconds;

            if (timeToClose <= Seconds)
            {
                var lastCandle = MarketSeries.Open.Last(1);
                if (lastCandle > MarketSeries.Close.Last(1))
                {
                    Print("Green candle");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi there,

Unfortunately I cannot write the code for you. If you need professional assistance, you can contact a consultant

Hi Panagiotis

I don't want you to write code for me, I only want to ask what methods are used to implement this in C#.

There is no specific method. You need to write the logic yourself. You need to find the candle duration based on bar open times and then keep track of the time elapsed in each candle. When the specified time has elapsed, you need to execute your logic. The only way to help you further is to write the code for you.
