Data feed in initial indicator calculate from other timeframes
28 Apr 2020, 13:40

Hello Spotware Team,

i have found a behaviour, that makes using an indicator with other timeframes nearly useless, because of the data feed the other timeframe gets.

Sadly i have noticed that by chance just now and i am working with cTrader since 3 1/2 years now, so i wasted a lot of time not knowing that all the data i analysed in this time was useless.

 

Please see the following differences:

1. In a test-bot:

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

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Test_Bot : Robot
    {
        Bars tf_X;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Put your initialization logic here
            tf_X = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Daily);            
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Put your core logic here
            int index = Bars.OpenPrices.Count - 1;
            DateTime chart_OpenTime = Bars.OpenTimes[index];
            int tf_X_Idx = tf_X.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(chart_OpenTime);
            Print(string.Join(" ", 
                "Chart-Idx",
                index,
                "Chart-OpenTime",
                chart_OpenTime,
                "Tf-X-Idx",
                tf_X_Idx,
                "Tf-X-OpenTime",
                tf_X.OpenTimes[tf_X_Idx],
                "Tf-X-High",
                tf_X.HighPrices[tf_X_Idx],
                "Tf-X-Low",
                tf_X.LowPrices[tf_X_Idx]));
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }
}

2. In a test-indicator (the code is like the one from the bot):

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Test_Indi : Indicator
    {
        Bars tf_X;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            // Initialize and create nested indicators
            tf_X = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Daily);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            // Calculate value at specified index
            // Result[index] = ...
            DateTime chart_OpenTime = Bars.OpenTimes[index];
            int tf_X_Idx = tf_X.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(chart_OpenTime);
            Print(string.Join(" ", 
                "Chart-Idx",
                index,
                "Chart-OpenTime",
                chart_OpenTime,
                "Tf-X-Idx",
                tf_X_Idx,
                "Tf-X-OpenTime",
                tf_X.OpenTimes[tf_X_Idx],
                "Tf-X-High",
                tf_X.HighPrices[tf_X_Idx],
                "Tf-X-Low",
                tf_X.LowPrices[tf_X_Idx]));
        }
    }
}

Please notice that in the bot the d1-prices correctly changes during the d1-Bar with the progress the h1-chart-bars are making.

But in the indicator the d1-prices do NOT change during the d1-Bar, so all the past-bars / its data from the other timeframe are already completely finished (all prices are final).

 

It is self explanatory that the data is useless in that case, because it is messing everything up, because i have already the final-prices of a d1-bar just right at the beginning of that d1-bar.

 

In my opinion that is really critical and i hope that you can help us with this to get that fixed as soon as possible.

 

Thank you in advance,

Andreas

RE: RE:

Hi Panagiotis,

is there any update on this subject?

I think this is very important, because it affects all customers who are using an indicator with a timeframe other than the chart-timeframe and who are relying on the data which is calculated through the initial calculate from cTrader (past until now).

Best Regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

We have investigated this issue and we understand the problem you are facing. However GetBars() works as designed. When you get bars from other timeframes, you get all the finalized bars and finalized values. You should be aware of this fact when you use these values. We do not plan to change the way it works at the moment. Hence if this functionality does not fit the needs of your indicator then you will need to redesign your indicator and code it in a different way.

Best Regards,

Hi Panagiotis,

Nevertheless i thank you for your answer and that you have taken time to investigate this issue.
