Dear Support,

 

May I please have your advice on following :

 

I need a trading assistant that will :

1. Recognize the rectangles once I draw them, put orders based on the comments of rectangles.

2. I need to make sure cBot will not restrict changing timeframes on the chart.

 

Question :

Is this the way the architecture should be  ?  :

1. Indicator that will detect that a new rectangle added on the chart. Indicator will read it's comment once I update it.  - cBot restricts changing timeframes, therefore i need to use indicator on the active chart, or is there a way that I can change time frames with active cBot ?

2. Add instance on required symbol to cBot in Automate tab. This cBot will take info from custom indicator that I added to my active chart, is it possible ?  Or will cBot create a new copy of indicator and my active chart and cBot won't communicate ? 

Should the indicator write info into the file and cBot in the instance to read it ?  What is the best architecture ?

 

Thank you !

Hi Tj11,

1) You cannot change a timeframe on a chart when a cBot is running.

2) cBots cannot reference indicators being on the chart.

Therefore you can consider writing information into a file as a workaround.
