hello
 I want to delay the cycle of my robot after each profit or loss

for that,I am looking for a formula that my robot starts one minute after it is turned on.

exemple:

   protected override void OnStart()
         {
  var sellOrderTargetPrice = Symbol.Bid - PipsAway * Symbol.PipSize; PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, InitialVolume, sellOrderTargetPrice, Label, StopLoss, TakeProfit);

   var buyOrderTargetPrice = Symbol.Ask + PipsAway * Symbol.PipSize;PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, InitialVolume, buyOrderTargetPrice, Label, StopLoss, TakeProfit);
}

with this example StopOrders are instant to start the robot.
I would like if possible delay of one minute after startup.
cordially.

 

http://www.dotnetperls.com/sleep

Thread.Sleep(60000);

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.now%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

or use datatime.

if (timenow < timetostart){

print("waiting for triger");

}

Hello and thank you ..
 thanks to you, I found this solution;

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;

[Parameter("minute", DefaultValue = 1)]
        public int Minute { get; set; }

   protected override void OnStart()

{

 var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(Minute * 60000);
            Console.WriteLine(stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);

......

it works well,

.but I am having a problem ...
I can not make Bactesting (endless), or optimization.

do you think that there is a solution?

I'll give you an example with sample martingale.
I have changed the code to delay between winning trades.

it works very well in demo or real, but backtesting impossible ...
 cordially

ok leader...

My code works but:

optimizer with my code is impossible....!!

ok I ask "admin" a solution.

I managed to include the code in other robots and c is good (except bascktesting)

thank you again
