Why don't you post the code you have if you expect any help without having to pay someone?

using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    // This cBot enters a position when the price reaches the Parabolic SAR value
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class ParabolicSAREntry : Robot
    {
        private double _volumeInUnits;
        private ParabolicSAR _parabolicSAR;

        [Parameter("Volume (Lots)", DefaultValue = 0.1)]
        public double VolumeInLots { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Stop Loss (Pips)", DefaultValue = 150)]
        public double StopLossInPips { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Take Profit (Pips)", DefaultValue = 20)]
        public double TakeProfitInPips { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Label", DefaultValue = "ParabolicSAREntry")]
        public string Label { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            _volumeInUnits = Symbol.QuantityToVolumeInUnits(VolumeInLots);
            _parabolicSAR = Indicators.ParabolicSAR(0.02, 0.2);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Check if the current price has reached the Parabolic SAR value
            if (Symbol.Ask < _parabolicSAR.Result.LastValue)
            {
                // If the price is below the Parabolic SAR, enter a Buy position
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, _volumeInUnits, Label, StopLossInPips, TakeProfitInPips);
            }
            else if (Symbol.Bid > _parabolicSAR.Result.LastValue)
            {
                // If the price is above the Parabolic SAR, enter a Sell position
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, SymbolName, _volumeInUnits, Label, StopLossInPips, TakeProfitInPips);
            }
        }
    }
}

I would like the buy/sell position to start as soon as the oposite SAR is touched rather than wait and sometimes it opens a position at a random point?

Thank you in advance

Hi there,

Your code logic is wrong. Your code does not do the below

I would like the buy/sell position to start as soon as the oposite SAR is touched

Your code just places trades when the price is above or below the current psar value, which is always true. You should check for crosses instead e.g. the close price being above while the open price is below.

Best regards,

Panagiotis
