I wan to use cAlgo
17 May 2017, 18:15


Hi,

I have read about cAlgo which is base on c#

i would like to know first, cAlgo free software or not?

i have downloaded the demo, and check it, in which i can do c# coding easily and write my bot

please let me know about its lisencing if it has

because i have a client, he wants a bot with some specification and refering this cAlgo with its Martingale Bot (modified)

so i am not clear how to start and what to do, i am new on cAlgo but i have 10 years of development experience on Microsoft platform

Thanks

Good afternoon friend...

cAlgo is free and has no license to use.

You said you're coding a cBot in C #, I have a strategy and would like to create a cBot for it, but I do not have the necessary knowledge for this.

Can we talk about you creating my cBot?

Have a look at the API of cAlgo, learn the structure of the language. Start to code in cAlgo by reading the API and all the suggestions from all the members on the forum. Also, test and retest your code until you will end up with the result desired. Retest if you have a setback, with the mindset of trial and error you will eventually get it right and the cBot will perform exactly as you like at the end. RMMRobot.com have a lot of information on what's important for the trader to include in a cBot. Many free cBots to download and test and to learn what to include in a successfully cBot.

If you have created a cBot that handles placing a position or several positions, just start the cBot and let it run. Hey, you are on a demo account at the moment so no problem with winning or losing at this time, more important will be, how does your cBot perform in the long run. Give it time and relax for now in the initial state of the testing your cBot.

Just to make it clear regarding the demo account for testing a cBot. Better signing up with a broker because they give a more accurate spread and execution. It's free of course and there will be no obligation to sign up for a real account with them. You can actually have 10 different demo brokers signed up at the same time so you can test your cBot in different environments.

this is what i am looking now, can you help me in letting me know what are the four points are mention and the details

 

the bot will wait... until it detects 'fast movement' from the currency (up or down)

if the currency is moving down fast... it will sell, if it is moving up fast, it will buy...

as soon as the currency starts to slow down... it will close position. and wait for the next fast movement

the variables i want to set are:

1. movement speed required (to buy or sell)
2. movement distance required (to buy or sell)
3. time frame (used to determine time frame window average)
4. time frame window (this might be set to 1 minute for example, or 30 seconds, or 5 minutes, etc)

the 'average speed and average distance' will be determined by looking at the last time frame (for example, if the 'time frame' is set to 1 minute, and the bot decided that the average movement speed is 5x faster then normal... then it will understand that some big movement is happening with the currency, and it will take a position of buy or sell,

as it goes up or down, the bot will set a trailing stop loss of (X) variable,

and it will try to take as much of the movement as possible, until it his the trailing stop-loss,
