Open positions in opposed
12 May 2015, 10:44

Hi,
I would like to develop a CBOT that after opening the first position, opened a second position (a number of pips away from the first position) with volume double and in opposite direction to the first position.

The first position is opened according to a logic, that I have developed without particular problems.
I do need some suggestions for the execution of the positions, as indicated at the beginning.

Thanks.

Here's the code, please notice, you didn't say anything about the 1st position being closed.

using System;
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 XROpenPositionsinOpposed : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Label", DefaultValue = "MyLabel")]
        public string MyLabel { get; set; }

        bool _isSent;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 10000, MyLabel);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            var x = Positions.Find(MyLabel);

            if (x != null && !_isSent)
            {
                if (x.TradeType == TradeType.Buy)
                {
                    PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, (x.Volume * 2), x.EntryPrice - 20 * Symbol.PipSize);
                    _isSent = !_isSent;
                }
                else
                {
                    PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, (x.Volume * 2), x.EntryPrice + 20 * Symbol.PipSize);
                    _isSent = !_isSent;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

RE:

Hi, now I try it.
To close the 1a pos, I add the TP in "ExecuteMarketOrder"

Bye and thanks for the suggestion.
