Hi,

I am desperately wanting to use this feature to stop my purchased cbots before close of market and restarting them after few hours to escape the couple of hours when the spread is too high.

Is the API that enables a cbot to start stop other cbots documented in the API documentation. Please let us know so we can start using this feature.

 

Thanks in advance.

Here is a short example on how to start a cBot

            var robot = ChartRobots.Add("Sample Break Even", "", 1,1);      
            robot.Start();

Hi Panagiotis,

Can you please guide me how I can get access to the object ChartRobots inside my cBot.

Inside my cBot when I write 

Print(Chart.ChartType); 

On running I get the output 

candlesticks

But when I write 

Print(Chart.Robots); 

I get a compilation error saying

Error CS1061: 'Chart' does not contain a definition for 'Robots' and no accessible extension method 'Robots' accepting a first argument of type 'Chart' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (/Users/ben/cAlgo/Sources/Robots/EvcBotController/EvcBotController/EvcBotController.cs, line: 25, column: 25)

Can you please guide me how I can get to the ChartRobots object you have mentioned in your code above.

 

Thanks in advance.

After I got it to compile at runtime I am getting this error

Hi Panagiotis,

When  I add the below line to the OnStart method of my cBot

Print(ChartRobots.Count);

I get the below error when I run my cBot

07/06/2024 10:58:23.108 | Crashed in OnStart with MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'cAlgo.API.ChartRobots cAlgo.API.Internals.Algo.get_ChartRobots()'.

Please let me know how I can get access to the ChartRobots.

Thanks.

Hi Panagiotis,

I understand this API will enable me to add and start cBot to the chart that this particular cBot (starter cBot) is on. Does that mean that now multiple cBots can run on the same chart. Using cTrader Desktop I can never add more than one cBot on a particular chart, so can you please shed some light on this new thing, running multiple cBots on the same chart.

Is there a way to access Robots that are running on other currency pairs and hence their saperate charts but within this particular instance of cTrader and also on this same account (I am running everything locally with synchronisation with cloud turned off).

 

Please let me know,

Cheers.

This was always possible in the Trade section

You can access all charts and manage cBots on them using a plug in.
