cbot in an indicator area
02 Dec 2023, 23:20


Hi there

I'm trying to create an  order management tool/cbot. I want to place the UI for it in an IndicatorArea so as not to clutter the main chart. As far as I can tell, inheriting from Robot eliminates this possibility. Is that correct? or if not, how might I do so?

Assuming the above is correct, and that I can't have a cbot draw a UI on to an indicatorarea,  can I create an indicator inheriting from indicator that draws the UI elements to the IndicatorArea, but then ‘trigger’ a cbot that has the actual code to interact with the orders?

 

Thanks

 

Glenn

Hi Glenn,

In principle, this is possible. You can create an indicator, and use files, named pipes or any other communication mechanism to communicate between the instances.

Best regards,
