Hi mparama,

Try a clean installation. If that doesn't fix the problem, try reinstalling .net framework.

Your Max Equity DrawDown is very high anyway,

check the Start Capital and the Start Order Size

Probably you should increase your Start Capital or decrease the Start Order Size

Hi,

I need help with the code below so that it only closes the position with the indicated SymbolName for example "USDJPY"

I'm using the code below and it closes all positions.

if ()                   

{
foreach (var position in Positions)
ClosePositionAsync(position);
}

Thx for help!

//mgpublic

You should use:

            var posBuy = Positions.FindAll(Label, SymbolName, TradeType.Buy);
            var posSell = Positions.FindAll(Label, SymbolName, TradeType.Sell);

           

if ()                   

{
foreach (var position in posBuy)
ClosePositionAsync(position);
}

found it - no chart events allowed...

is there the possibility to check if the cBot is in optimization mode (like isBacktesting) or any other trick not to out comment the lines with chart.xxxx?

 

Kindest regards,

 

 

if (RunningMode != RunningMode.Optimization)

Backtest longer period

the 1 year period is not indicative of the reliability of a strategy. You should backtest for minimum 8/10 years.

Hi,

I am facing the same problem in my Indicator.

Half the year the server runs on UTC+2 time zone and half the year it runs on UTC+3 time zone. The transition happens randomly during a certain weekend.

When my Indicator is invoked for MarketSeries.OpenTime.LastSeries being 0030hr on 4th november, i want to know if it is in UTC+2 timezone or UTC+3 timezone, or in other words i want to know if the daylight saving is on or off because only then i can know if the data is applicable to 3rd November or 4the November.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Warm Regards,

Vipin.

Try this:

            if (Server.TimeInUtc.IsDaylightSavingTime())
            {
                currentHours = Server.TimeInUtc.AddHours(+3).TimeOfDay.Hours;
                currentMinute = Server.TimeInUtc.TimeOfDay.Minutes;
            }
            if (!Server.TimeInUtc.IsDaylightSavingTime())
            {
                currentHours = Server.TimeInUtc.AddHours(+2).TimeOfDay.Hours;
                currentMinute = Server.TimeInUtc.TimeOfDay.Minutes;
            }

Dear Panagiotis,

I have tested BackTest  in Beta and it seems working even faster then version 3.6.

I have tested as well the optimization with MultiTimeframe and everything seems working OK.

Thank you very much to you and all the staff of Spotware for the efforts to give us always a better service.

 

Regards

Can you please share how you define the MultiTime frame?

My Bars are empty in Optimisation if they are different time frame( and throw Null Exception), while the work perfectly fine under BackTesting

Hi,

as soon as they released di HotFix the Optimization seems working again. Some days later it was not working again probably because they were working in progress.

Yesterday from Beta version I have downloaded an upgrade and it seems they fixed the optimization.

RE:

lithast said:

Hi guys,

My cTrader application took an update this morning, and backtesting is extremely, extremely slow after the update. The version indicated is 3.7 and the update seems to have made MarketSeries obsolete in favour of a new API for "Bars". I've updated my bots to use Bars instead of MarketSeries.

Backtests that were taking 10 seconds to complete previously are now taking 5 minutes to complete. Results are identical.

Any ideas?

Thanks

 

That's my problem as well and not using any Indicators...!!!!

RE: 3.7 changed something in code, now half of my Algo`s dont work anymore..can anyone tell me what to do?

w.b.z said:

I got the same problem with optimization using multi-timeframe.

Backtest is ok

Trading is ok

when I try to optimize I get  "Crashed in OnTick with NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and I found that the problem is related to the New API with Multi-TimeFrames,:

I replaced the old MarketSeries (everything was working fine) with the New API line guide (Optimization not working)

 [Parameter("Kelt Priod", DefaultValue = 35, MinValue = 1, MaxValue = 100, Step = 1)]

            Kelt = Indicators.KeltnerChannels(KeltPeriod, KeltEMA ??, KeltATRPeriod, KeltSMA ??, 2);

        } 

 

KeltEMA has no value

KeltSMA has no value

you should insert them in the parameter giving a value as:

[Parameter("Kelt Priod", DefaultValue = 35, MinValue = 1, MaxValue = 100, Step = 1)]
        public int KeltPeriod { get; set; }
        [Parameter("Kelt ATR Priod", DefaultValue = 35, MinValue = 1, MaxValue = 100, Step = 1)]
        public int KeltATRPeriod { get; set; }

These does'nt give any value:

ExponentialMovingAverage SlowMA, FastMA, KeltEMA;

SimpleMovingAverage KeltSMA;

To check if it works give compatible numerical value:

Kelt = Indicators.KeltnerChannels(KeltPeriod, num. value, KeltATRPeriod, num. value, 2);

All the parameters in the indicator that give a value should coincide with 

(KeltPeriod, num. value, KeltATRPeriod, num. value, 2);

RE:

Panagiotis Charalampous said:

Hi Luigi,

A cBot is nothing less than a C# project. So if you edit it using Visual Studio you can have all the options available for a C# project. This means that you can have separate classes for reusable code. See below an example of calling a function of another class inside the cBot.

This way you can organize your code in a proper object oriented approach. Let me know if you need any additional assistance.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Thank youv very much !!!!

Try this:

if (shortMA.Result.HasCrossedAbove(longMA.Result, 0)) 

0 correspond to the LastValue

if (shortMA.Result.HasCrossedAbove(longMA.Result, 1)) 

1 correspond to the previous bar

RE:

Hi Luigi,

You will need to use some loops. See below.

            var highest = MarketSeries.High.Last(1);
            for (int i = 2; i <= 12; i++)
            {
                if (MarketSeries.High.Last(i) > highest)
                    highest = MarketSeries.High.Last(i);
            }

            var lowest = MarketSeries.Low.Last(1);
            for (int i = 2; i <= 12; i++)
            {
                if (MarketSeries.Low.Last(i) < lowest)
                    lowest = MarketSeries.Low.Last(i);
            }

Let me know if this helps,
