RE:

Thanks mate, the debugger is not launched but the code says it was.

Also when I try and attach it says that no symbols have been loaded for the current document. 

As I said I have been doing this for years but ever since the upgrade to support .net 6 it has never worked.

Here is some sample code.

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

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class DummyBot6 : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = "Hello world!")]
        public string Message { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = "Hello world!")]
        public string Message2 { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            var result = System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();

            if (result is false)
            {
                Print("Debugger launch failed");
            }
            else if (result is true)
            {
                Print("Debugger launched");
            }

            // To learn more about cTrader Automate visit our Help Center:
            // https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-automate

            Print(Message);
            Print("onstart");
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Handle price updates here
        }
        
        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            double x = 0, y = 0, z = 0,p =0;
            Print("AddClose");
            for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++)
            {
                x = (float)Bars.ClosePrices.Last(j + 1);
                y = (float)Bars.OpenPrices.Last(j + 1);
                z = (float)Bars.HighPrices.Last(j + 1);
                p = (float)Bars.LowPrices.Last(j + 1);
            }
            Print(String.Format("lengths {0} {1} {2} {3}", x, y, z, p));

        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Handle cBot stop here
        }
    }
}

RE: RE: RE:

So sorry gus yes it worked with FullAccess using the launch debugger but it does not work with trying to attach, that is the normal way I try and do it with my bots.

It says symbols have not been loaded. Looks like you have to specify the location of the symbols but I have never had to do that before.

Because everything now runs under its own process, you could have literally hundreds of calgo processes running, and wouldn't know which one to attach to.

The new way of debugging automatically handles that for you. When prompted, select the VS instance you're currently working in (as per the instructions on the web page) making sure you're running it in "debug" mode, and you'll be able to step through the code as per usual.

Awesome thanks heaps mate, you have really saved my bacon!! What kind of bots do you build? I build ML ones.

I'm not sure what you mean by "ML" ones?

I write bots and a few custom indicators that do my trading for me. "Hybrid ones" where I have a basic strategy programmed up with position management, but watch the trades for divergences (and other signs) to manage them myself.

I used to focus on trading the daily time frame, but now stick more to Renko charts (with my own Renko Wicks indicator) to avoid all the noise distracting me or stimulating my emotions.
