When you create an instance it is the instance of the symbol, you cannot as far as I know dynamically change this, what what you can do as a workaround is this.

        [Parameter("Custom Symbol Name", DefaultValue = "EURUSD")]
        public string CustomSymbolName{ get; set; }

Symbol symbol = MarketData.GetSymbol(CustomSymbolName);

RE:

track parameter change does not happen?
Some event occurs when you change a parameter?

            USDNOK,
            USDSEK,
            USDSGD,
            USDPLN
        }

        [Parameter("Symbol1", DefaultValue = mySymbols.EURUSD)]
        public mySymbols symbol1 { get; set; }

so ideally

but does not work.

They do not support this :-(

I totally agree with you we should have this feature, it would make my life much easier, but I am afraid we must do hack jobs for the time being.

Unless someone else has come up with a better solution, I would be happy to hear it, but cAlgo will not allow complex datatypes, just primitive datatypes like int, float, string etc. and their own object model.

I am off to beach now, bye.

Hello,

Is this not yet possible?

Forex symbols have consistent names across brokers, but other symbols don't.

Considering this and a multi-symbol cBot:

The possibility to add a drop-down list (to the parameters) containing all the available symbols for the current account would be very useful. As already available (by default) with every cBot instance.
 

Thanks.

Hi ncel01,

It is possible to use an enum as a parameter now.

Best regards,

Hi Panagiotis,

I mean a dynamic drop-down list, containing all the exact symbol names for the current account. Not a static list.

Is this possible?

No this is not possible

That's a pity.

It looks like Account.Symbols is also a missing/needed property for an account.

Are there any plans to add this information to the API?

This makes a standard (static) enum list not the most convenient/effective solution for a multi-symbol cBot.
