Hi,

Those are methods with "protected" access modifier, you can't call a protected method from another class, only the class itself or its derived classes can call a protected method.

Here is an example that might help you:

using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Test : Robot
    {
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            var botController = new BotController(this);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Put your core logic here
        }

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

    public class BotController
    {
        private readonly Robot _robot;

        public BotController(Robot robot)
        {
            _robot = robot;
        }

        public void Stop()
        {
            _robot.Stop();
        }

        public IAccount GetAccount()
        {
            return _robot.Account;
        }
    }
}

These kind of topics aren't related to cTrader automate API, you have to learn C# and Google for similar issues in C#, you will find a lot of solutions.

There is a way to call protected methods via Reflection, Google and you will find lots of code examples for it.
