Thank-you for the help.

I did not know if I should start a new thread with my question or post in here.

I would like to have a spread indicator on my chart (I used to use spreadwidener on MT4) and found "Draw spread", when I add it to the chart it is not displayed properly as you can see in the top left corner.

The numbers are covered by the word spread.

When I open the custom indicator box, nothing is clickable, there is no way to change the colour of the font or to adjust the font so that it is readable. Any ideas?

RE: Please provide an example

jhtrader said:

Hi,

Can you send things like arrays or variable integers, doubles etc this way between robots?

Can you please add an example of a robot sending information such as a array or if thats not possible perhaps just text or integer  to another robot.

Also at the moment I want to communicate with a SQL database would I use pipes for communicating between the SQL server and the Robot?

Hi bp,

Thanks for your reply. 
I understand what you are saying and your code, I also thought about it and tried it in the code but it still does not produce results under certain time-frames...
I think as far as the definition of the indicator is concerned it shouldn't be based on daily time-frame. The definition of MACD also says 12-day Ema - 26-day ema... but the calculation is not on daily time-frame only. 
I will test more cases with such indicators and post here again.

I'm running cAlgo 24h/7d on my laptop for 3 months now.

I made the robot send me an email every 30 minuts to notifiy it is still working. I sometimes use TeamViewer to login to my laptop from elsewhere.

No problems. and 0$ spent.

You don't get the updates? cAlgo needs to restart when there are updates.

Actually, 

The selected period does not include the day on which the band is plotted (otherwise the band would never be crossed). For example, the 20-Day Donchian Channels for today are the highest high and lowest low for the preceding 20 trading days.

RE:

Hi, I am new to this and could be mistaken but it seems MT4 allows you to choose any start date in their strategy tester but the report never shows any trades prior to 07/2010.

Hi Balena,

Run this code and change TimZones settings to see the output of server time each time:

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
    public class NewRobot : Robot
    {
        private DateTime startTime;
        private DateTime activeTime;
        private DateTime stopTime;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {

            startTime = Server.Time.Date;
            activeTime = startTime.AddHours(9);
            stopTime = startTime.AddHours(45);
            
            Print(startTime);
            Print(activeTime);
            Print(stopTime);
        }
        
        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            if (Server.Time < activeTime)
                return;
                
            Print(Server.Time);
        }
    }
}    

I hope the above helps.

Hi,

You can limit by adding a statement like :

if (volume > 800k )
    volume = 800k;

you can put this statement in the code in the "ExecuteTrade" method at the beginning.

Why don't you post this in the jobs section since you are willing to pay. You might get more exposure to your request.

Your log says that there was a technical error cancelling an order. That cannot result in loss of money since it's merely a pending order... There must have been something else.

System.Windows is supported. What are you trying to do exactly?

gorin
16 Jul 2013, 14:34

Is this backtesting or live? If it's live it could be a technical error. Did you check the log? You can try printing something in the event there is a technical error.

I read another post where it is mentioned that multitime frames will be implemented in 3 months but I'm assuming it will not be like what you described.
I think you can use a Timer to accomplish this.
