Hi there,

What do you mean when you say “locks up”? How can we reproduce this behavior?

Best regards,

Hi Panagiotis

By ‘lockedup' I mean the bot (which is a UI for managing trades) becomes unresponsive.

I have debugs that show that it gets locked just stops when trying to access Symbol.PipSize.. for eg in the method below,  the last line that ‘logged’ was “Print($"{Symbol.PipSize}”)" Then everything stopped.
 

        private double TotalExposure()
        {.

            double result = 0;

            Print("Calculating total exposure");
            foreach (var position in Positions)
            {
                double stopLoss;
                Print($"position {position.Id}");
                if (position.StopLoss == null)
                {
                    stopLoss = 0;
                } else
                {
                  stopLoss = position.StopLoss.Value;
                 
                }
                double entry = position.EntryPrice;
                Print($"Stop loss: {stopLoss} {entry}");
                Print($"{position.VolumeInUnits}");
                Print($"{Symbol.PipSize} ");
                Print($"{Symbol.PipValue}");
                Print($"{position.VolumeInUnits} {Symbol.PipSize} {Symbol.PipValue}");
                result += position.VolumeInUnits * Symbol.PipSize * Symbol.PipValue * (position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy ? 1 : -1) * (entry - stopLoss);
                Print($"Volume in units: {position.VolumeInUnits}, pip value: {Symbol.PipValue} stoploss {stopLoss} result: {result}" );
            }
            Print($"Exposure: {result}");
            return result;
        }

I'm not sure how to reproduce it. When I originally posted, I could replicate it or fix it by just choosing the correct symbol.  Right now however, I can no longer replicate it. So i don't really understand what this might mean.

Hi again, this is working fine now. I don't know what caused it or why it went away (or if it will come back).  If you have theories, i'd be delighted to hear, but otherwise don't want to waste more of your time on it. 

Thanks again.
