Hi Mihai,

Here it is

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 NewcBot : Robot
    {
    
        protected override void OnStart()
        {

            Chart.MouseDown += Chart_MouseDown;
        
        }

        private void Chart_MouseDown(ChartMouseEventArgs obj)
        {
            Print("Time: " + obj.TimeValue);
            Print("Price: " + obj.YValue);
        }

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

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

We are working on the documentation as well :)

Best Regards,

I tried to create an indicator based on this,
and tried like few hours (not kidding) to find the Log, where Print() prints

Just to find out (through a random post in forum), that a guy succeeded to Print(), by using a robot instead of indicator.

Ok, I copied-pasted exactly your code, creating a new bot, just to find out where is Log window in cTrader.

I saw a new tab, CBot Log, great, it works now.

But I have a question: isn't it logical to have also an Indicator Log too? Or is it already planned but not implemented yet?

Hi,

You could also use this free plugin for logging information.

Hi Mihai,

At this moment, Indicators print only in the Log tab of the cTrader Automate section. We will enable them to print in the cBot Log as well in one of the future releases.
