Check your logs, your problem is with the volume. You need to round your volume before you use it

RE: Problem BOT does not open operation in backtest

Check your logs, your problem is with the volume. You need to round your volume before you use it

PanagiotisCharalampous  thank you so much but also if I've corrected the volume, settin a fixed value (1.2 Lots), it doesn't work, can you correct it for me?

Here are the main charateristics

• open long and short at 22.00 UTC+2 (Rome)
• 9 pip stop 
• 0.5 pip tp
• 1.2 lots (volume) 

here there is my new code, I've tryed my best because I don't know how to program sir, thank you early, have a nice working day.

using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class TimeBasedOrder : Robot
    {
        private DateTime targetTime;
        private bool orderPlaced = false;

        [Parameter("Volume (Lots)", DefaultValue = 1.2)]
        public double Volume { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Stop Loss (Pips)", DefaultValue = 9)]
        public int StopLoss { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Take Profit (Pips)", DefaultValue = 0.5)]
        public double TakeProfit { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Set the target time to 22:00 UTC
            targetTime = Server.Time.Date.AddHours(22);
            if (Server.Time > targetTime)
                targetTime = targetTime.AddDays(1);

            Print("Script started. Order will be placed at {0}", targetTime);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            if (!orderPlaced && Server.Time >= targetTime)
            {
                PlaceOrder();
                orderPlaced = true;

                // Set the target time to 22:00 UTC the next day
                targetTime = targetTime.AddDays(1);
            }
        }

        private void PlaceOrder()
        {
            var stopLossInPips = StopLoss;
            var takeProfitInPips = TakeProfit;

            var stopLossPrice = Symbol.Ask + stopLossInPips * Symbol.PipSize;
            var takeProfitPrice = Symbol.Ask + takeProfitInPips * Symbol.PipSize;

            var result = ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, Volume, "TimeBasedOrder", stopLossInPips, takeProfitInPips);

            if (result.IsSuccessful)
                Print("Order placed successfully at {0}", Server.Time);
            else
                Print("Order placement failed: {0}", result.Error);
        }
    }
}

this was the photo that you sent to me, now i'll send you the new messages logs…

The volume is set in units, not in Lots. Use Symbol.QuantityToVolume to do the conversion between lots and volume.

Yes of course, create a new thread for each issue you might have
