When is called OnTick event ?

Is it called on every price change ?

OnTick method is called on each incoming market tick.

How do I trigger an event for every incoming tick on each of a list of (or all) symbols, as opposed to OnTick() method being called only for ticks on the symbol the cBot is attached to?

Dear Trader,

In cAlgo.API there is no way to trigger an event in the way you want. However, you can take advantage of the C# language used in cAlgo and create an event to be triggered whenever you want. Please have a look at the Events Tutorial on Microsoft.

so either make an inter process communication using anonymous pipes between robots. and have a chart instance for every symbol which will serve to fire price changes from each respective OnStart().

See:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/528652/what-is-the-simplest-method-of-inter-process-communication-between-2-c-sharp-pro

which suggests using Asynchronous operations with BeginRead/BeginWrite and AsyncCallback. As outlined here:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb546102.aspx

Or, alternatively use polling to check if Symbol.bid / Ask changed, then fire an event, a variation on outlined here:

 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19794652/c-sharp-raise-event-when-property-changes-in-foreign-class

Both of which are hacks for something that should be built in. 

Dear Spotware team, is the second option what you had in mind in your previous answer where you reffered me/us to the MS Event tutorial?

Are you planning to integrate events for global price changes? If so, is there a timeline?
