Hi,

Please help,

With the code below, how can i insert my own signals from indicators without using a random Sell or Buy order,

and stop to double the volume amount after 3 consecutive loss trades (every position from my signals).

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 SampleMartingalecBot : Robot
{
[Parameter("Initial Quantity (Lots)", DefaultValue = 1, MinValue = 0.01, Step = 0.01)]
public double InitialQuantity { get; set; }

[Parameter("Stop Loss", DefaultValue = 40)]
public int StopLoss { get; set; }

[Parameter("Take Profit", DefaultValue = 40)]
public int TakeProfit { get; set; }

private Random random = new Random();

protected override void OnStart()
{
Positions.Closed += OnPositionsClosed;

ExecuteOrder(InitialQuantity, GetRandomTradeType());
}

private void ExecuteOrder(double quantity, TradeType tradeType)
{
var volumeInUnits = Symbol.QuantityToVolume(quantity);
var result = ExecuteMarketOrder(tradeType, Symbol, volumeInUnits, "Martingale", StopLoss, TakeProfit);

if (result.Error == ErrorCode.NoMoney)
Stop();
}

private void OnPositionsClosed(PositionClosedEventArgs args)
{
Print("Closed");
var position = args.Position;

if (position.Label != "Martingale" || position.SymbolCode != Symbol.Code)
return;

if (position.GrossProfit > 0)
{
ExecuteOrder(InitialQuantity, GetRandomTradeType());
}
else
{
ExecuteOrder(position.Quantity * 2, position.TradeType);
}
}

private TradeType GetRandomTradeType()
{
return random.Next(2) == 0 ? TradeType.Buy : TradeType.Sell;
}
}
}

To reference custom indicators on ctdn look at this:-

/api/guides/indicators#el8

The link below shows an example of how to use the generic in-built indicators in cAlgo.

It's not hard to do but you need to learn C# and cAlgo to code your own bots since you're asking for complete robot.

If you don't want to learn or need some assistance there are people who can help you.
There is a member named Paul Hayes (and maybe others too), as far as I remember he is giving coding lessons as well as teaches how to code robots in cAlgo.
If you want you can check his profile or you can ask for help in jobs section.

No money no honey. :)

Haha, interesting coincidence. He also replied to your message before mine.

Hello
according to this model,
you can add a martingale your robots.
"Max Run" allows you to adjust the number of rounds you want and control your losses.
example
if volume 10000
and loss maxi 40000
set "max run" 41000 .... so stop loss has touched 40000 ....
martingale stop... complete series ....
back to other trades
there is no doubt of other solutions,
I am using this method.
Best regards.

RE:

Hi,

it's because of the line

ExecuteOrder(getNewVolume((int)position.Volume), position.TradeType);

private void OnPositionsClosed(PositionClosedEventArgs args)

It will always open the same trade direction, as the closed position.

To trade in the opposite direction of the closed position, you need to modify it to e.g. like this:

ExecuteOrder(getNewVolume((int)position.Volume), position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy ? TradeType.Sell : TradeType.Buy);

HTH.

When he starts the martingale, he doesnt check the strategy. Hitting the stoploss he open a new order without check if strategy = true.

How do I check the strategy again and if there is true, open martingale order?

thank you
