Hi all, 

The strategy creates a position onBar (daily). I want the strategy to close the position on the next bar no matter what. 

Could you please help me how I can achieve that. 

Thanks

using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.0)]
        public double Parameter { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Put your initialization logic here
        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            if (Positions.Count != 0)
            {
                ClosePosition(Positions.Find("pos"));
            }
            
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 10000, "pos");
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }
}

Set timeframe to daily. You didn't say if you wantet to open a buy or sell position, so I set it to open a buy position.

Hi, 

If I have multiple algos running in 1 account does if (Positions.Count != 0) take into consideration the positions of other strategies or just of the Algo where the code is executed?

Best,

Marc
