I used the Stop(); in some of my cBots and I noticed that the better way to obtain an immediate break of the execution is to add also a return; after the stop();

in my case a check to avoid to use live accounts my mistake:

remember to add a reference to "System.Windows.Forms"

protected override void OnStart()
{
    if (Account.IsLive && System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("WARNING!!! You are on a LIVE ACCOUNT !!!\r\n\r\nDo you want to continue anyway ?", label, System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No)
    {
        Stop();

by the way... I had to use the full declaration "System.Windows.Forms" in the code, to avoid a conflict with another DLL, but the best way to use it is of course this

1) add the reference to "System.Windows.Forms" to your cBot so you can declare the "using"

-----

...

using System.Windows.Forms;

...


if (Account.IsLive && MessageBox.Show("WARNING!!! You are on a LIVE ACCOUNT!!!\r\n\r\nDo you want to continue anyway?", label, MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.No)
{
    Stop();

You're the welcome!

If the "Stop()" in your case doesn't work well either, you can call directly the c# command:

1. add the "using System.Diagnostics" reference
2. call the c# Process.GetCurrentProcess().Close();

using System;
using System.Diagnostics; // <---- ADD THIS
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        int ticks = 0;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {

        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            Print(ticks++);

            if (ticks == 10)
            {
                Process.GetCurrentProcess().Close();
            }
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {

        }
    }
}

Thanks Gainer, as always you are very helpful 

i should test the codes 

by the way are experience with array, as you can see am trying to have array code to compare the values of two points say last two high or low points

thanks

Does stopping a bot close all open positions?

Hi everyone:

Reading this thread and for clarification -- does stopping a bot close all open positions and pending orders?

Or (most likely) do they have to be programmatically closed in the OnStop method since the orders/positions are on the server?

Thank you

Hi FireMyst.

No it does not. You need to close them programmaticaly if you wish to do so.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
