Adjustable line handling and custom script launching
10 May 2013, 11:18


Dear CAlgo developers,

First let me say thank you for this great system, and congratulation for the outstanding idea to use C# language for indicators and robots. I hope this framework will achieve a big success and will be a good competitor of Metatrader.

During my first experimental project I found out that the following functions are missing:

In the CTrader program I can put adjustable horizontal and vertical line to the chart, but in CAlgo only text objects are possible to put to the chart. Are you planning to implement other objects handling as well?

In Metatrader beside the indicators and robots, the third customization possibilities are the scripts what can assign to a hotkey, and let the trader to make complex operations with one click or key combinations. 

The mentioned two features would allow to make very effective semi automatic trading systems where the trader handles the positions but the system calculates the risks, position sizes and makes other useful operations.

So I would like to ask are you planning to implement these features into the application?

Thank you for your answer in advanced,

Kindly regards,

Erno

Thank you for the suggestions

We will release an ability to draw lines from robots and indicators next release, but these lines will not be adjustable by user. Only robot / indicator created the line can change it.


Interacting with trader using chart objects and hot keys is very nice idea. We will consider implementing it in future. We also plan to introduce an ability to run robots (scripts) in cTrader.
