You can read and write to/from files using c#. Do you need help with reading and writing to files?

RE:

Thank you... any help would be much appreciated!

How can I reverse this (from admin below) and read from a text file to bring values back into cAlgo?...

ie...

1. I use the below to pull price data into "txt file A"

2. I pull data from "txt file A" to use in another 3 party application

3. I create "txt file B" from the 3rd party application

4. I pull variables from "txt file B" back into cAlgo to use as logic

I have step #1 below...

I need help with step #4

thanks!

You can use the following example if you want to output data to a text file:

 

using System;

using cAlgo.API;

using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

using cAlgo.Indicators;

using System.IO;

 

namespace cAlgo.Robots

{

    [Robot]

    public class WriteToFileExample : Robot

    {

        StreamWriter _fileWriter;

        double avspread = 0;

        double spreadnow = 0;

        double sum = 0;

        int ticker = 0;

        int once = 0;

        int counter =0;

         

        protected override void OnStart()

        {

            var desktopFolder = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory);//getting location of user's Desktop folder 

            var filePath = Path.Combine(desktopFolder, "ServerTimeExample.txt");

             

            _fileWriter = File.AppendText(filePath);//creating file

             

            _fileWriter.AutoFlush = true;//file will be saved on each change

        }

         

        protected override void OnTick()

        {

            _fileWriter.WriteLine("Server Time: " + Server.Time);

        }

         

        protected override void OnStop()

        {

            _fileWriter.Close();

        }

    }

}

Is there still a need to Importing external signal files?

see:  /algos/cbots/show/588  and /algos/cbots/show/591  I have also written the portion which does the import and executes trades based on external signals.   If others will find it of value then let me know and I can post it as a new CBot.  It takes quite a bit of extra effort to package things for external consumption but if there is sufficient demand I will do so.  Thanks Joe E.
