Hi there,

If you don't know how to program, it's better to assign the job to a professional.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Your bot only opens Buy positions, and Buy orders are executed Ask price (Symbol.Ask). But the code uses Symbol.bid. You just need to replace symbol.bid with symbol.ask and the code will work
 

// Import necessary namespaces
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    // Define the bot class
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class EMAcBotPreviousBarWithSLTP : Robot
    {
        // Define the EMAs as indicators
        private ExponentialMovingAverage _ema20;
        private ExponentialMovingAverage _ema50;
        private ExponentialMovingAverage _ema100;

        // Define parameters for the bot
        [Parameter("Volume", DefaultValue = 1, MinValue = 1)]
        public int Volume { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Stop Loss (pips)", DefaultValue = 1.00, MinValue = 0.1)]
        public double StopLoss { get; set; } // Stop loss in pips

        [Parameter("Take Profit (pips)", DefaultValue = 3.00, MinValue = 0.1)]
        public double TakeProfit { get; set; } // Take profit in pips

        // Called when the bot starts
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Initialize the EMAs with the specified periods
            _ema20 = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, 20);
            _ema50 = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, 50);
            _ema100 = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, 100);
        }

        // Called on each new tick (every time a new bar is formed)
        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            // Make sure there are at least two bars (to check the previous one)
            if (Bars.ClosePrices.Count < 2)
                return;

            // Get values of the previous bar (bar at index 1)
            double previousClose = Bars.ClosePrices[1];  // Close of the previous bar
            double previousEma20 = _ema20.Result[1];     // 20-period EMA on the previous bar
            double previousEma50 = _ema50.Result[1];     // 50-period EMA on the previous bar
            double previousEma100 = _ema100.Result[1];   // 100-period EMA on the previous bar

            // Check if the conditions for a buy are met
            if (previousClose > previousEma20 &&    // Previous close > 20 EMA
                previousEma20 > previousEma50 &&    // 20 EMA > 50 EMA
                previousEma50 > previousEma100)     // 50 EMA > 100 EMA
            {
                // Prevent opening multiple buy positions 
                if (Positions.Find("BuyPosition") == null)
                {
                    // Calculate SL and TP based on Ask price for Buy orders
                    double stopLossPrice = Symbol.Ask - StopLoss * Symbol.PipSize;
                    double takeProfitPrice = Symbol.Ask + TakeProfit * Symbol.PipSize;

                    // Open a market buy order
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(
                        TradeType.Buy,
                        SymbolName,
                        Volume,
                        "BuyPosition",
                        stopLossPrice,
                        takeProfitPrice
                    );
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
