RE: travailler avec plusieurs comptes cTrader en même temps

lahutinieremichel said: 

Ah non ! 
J'ai parlé trop vite, l'environnement graphique est unique pour toutes les sessions !
Ce matin en préparant le travail pour la semaine prochaine, je découvre que l'environnement graphique que j'avais créé pour le deuxième compte a disparu au profit du premier compte.

Dommage, peut-être un axe de développement pour cTrade desktop ?

Il faudrait vraiment que l'équipe de développement puisse nous mettre en place que les sessions puissent être totalement indépendantes, j'imagine que nous sommes nombreux a utiliser plusieurs comptes en même temps.

Hi there,

Make sure you are using different workspaces on each profile.

100 leverage

1% of account, take profit 1%

the price drops, I re enter with 1% of account, take profit 1%

however now the price need to reach 2% to give me back 1%

why is Ctrader doing this? maybe because the drawdown was too high?

 

 

Unfortunately I cannot help you if you do not provide the information I am asking for

Hi Panagiotis, hope you are well. Look. I need help to code an increase with the lotsize while my position progresses. For example, when 2 pips positive, double the lot. But the Chatgpt is saying it is not possible to increase Lotsize in Ctrader. Although, we have a button on Ctrader that do Just that, Double the.position size. 

Can you help me please

RE: RE: How is the new EntryPrice (& thus Pips etc) of a modified or partially closed Position calculated?

martins said: 

PanagiotisCharalampous said: 

Hi there,

The entry price of the position is the average entry price of the deals composing the position. If the position has only one opening deal, then the opening price should not change. If more opening deals are involved e.g. you have increased the size of the position after entering it, the entry price might change as partial volume is closed and deals removed from the position.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Ok, thanks, that's helpful. I can see from logging that when the volume of a position is INCREASED the calculation of its new Position.Pips value is exactly:
 (oldPips * oldVol - spreadAsPips * increaseInVol) / newVol
which is correctly distributing the pips on the old portion plus the immediate pip loss of the new portion (due to spread) across the new larger volume (and so the EntryPrice will be that many pips from the current price and represent the weighted average). Rounding of the calculation seems usually to the nearest 0.1 pip but sometimes goes the other way, possibly to correct for accumulated rounding error. That's all fine.

HOWEVER, I'm seeing the remaining portion of a position after a REDUCTION in volume ALSO has its Position.Pips altered. Why is that?
Possibly the position was not combined really (in the live server or backtest memory) but rather kept as a collection of parts from each modification that increased volume, so that when it is later reduced some specific part is closed, in a LIFO or FIFO order or some other rule? Is this broker driven? 

So maybe ModifyPosition does not really modify a position in the sense of ending up with one homogeneous position with a single EntryPrice & Pips profit? Can't brokers running cTrader handle merging modification deals into one net holding?

If not, please could the doc say so, and how do we know what the separate parts are so we can predict partial closing results (without laboriously keeping track of all modifications)? Is there any information in a Position that can tell a cBot the position's stats will not react in a predictable way if later PARTIALLY closed ('predictable' meaning Entry & Pips stay unchanged, profit prorata etc)? 

I'm coming to the conclusion it's not good to mix increasing and decreasing volume via ModifyPosition; one or the other yes, predictable, but not both in the same cBot if it's basing decisions on Position.Pips or Account.UnrealizedProfit, or on almost anything other than Equity.

Thanks.

 

Update re "laboriously keeping track": not that hard, but involves keeping ‘account state’ data outside the cTrader account, like in a local file or cloud, not self-contained in the positions - unless perhaps cTrader could add a large Account.Comment field that could store arbitrary data, or make the Positions.Comment modifyable & bigger?? :)

Might be able to extract same info using the History interface possibly (how far back does it go?), but haven't found all the doc about it, for instance where is History.OrderByDescending() other than in the example https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-algo/references/Trading/History/History/#examples 

Later: Actually only one adjustment number per position might need remembering in order to emulate proportional netting when partially closing a position that has been increased earlier - the difference between ‘the proportional Pips or Entry expected before the partial close is done’ and ‘the actual new Pips or new Entry that appears in the Position afterwards’ - so the Bot can apply that offset to later Pips & profit (with opposite adjustment to Balance).
Is there any way of storing a small amount of data per position on the server, for instance a modifyable Comment?

This is what I explained in my previous post. Positions are just collections of deals traded in a FIFO manner.

Is there any information in a Position that can tell a cBot the position's stats will not react in a predictable way if later PARTIALLY closed ('predictable' meaning Entry & Pips stay unchanged, profit prorata etc)? 

There isn't. As you correctly pointed out, if you need this information, you need to track it your self.

Hi,

I undwerstood from this video that I can fix a risk reward (lets sasy 100 usd) and when I move My SL on a limit order the nb of lots is computed automatically to keep 100 usd of risk.
And that if I change to market order the nb of lots will be computer when I click the buy/sell button based on the current price to respect 100 usd risk.

https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-web/charts/risk-reward/

On video below that I did we can see:

• when I chose limit order and fix the risk to 100 usd. nb of lots is computed automatically when i change the entry point
• when I change to market order and place the order the nb od lots is not recomputed but the last computed for the entry poitn which his not righ

https://share.icloud.com/photos/0adBeJVHTTMum0RYU3eeekHmQ

My be I understood wrong the feature for market order.., if i understood wrong can you any idea how I can do this as I want to always have the same risk

Thanks

Hi there,

It is impossible to set the risked amount exactly at a fixed stop loss price, since the trade eventually needs to be rounded at a volume that meets the minimum step set by the broker. Therefore you will get an approximation at best. The tool calculates the exact volume that needs to be traded for that amount to be risked but eventually you need to trade the closest valid volume.

Even with simple projects, one often needs to copy the error messages. Moreover, the new developers and advanced users who are learning to code are likely doing that in cAlgo and they are those who are most likely to encounter compilation errors they need to copy (to ask other developers about).

They can do that in an IDE. The product team will not divert resources from other important features to build something that already exists and can be used immediately.
