If to look where it says: [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]

if it is true it's on the chart, if it's false it won't be on the chart

RE:

if (Symbol.Ask == Symbol.Bid)

You think somethin like this would work?

        private int _ExpTime;
        private int _Counter;
        private bool _PosOpend;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            Positions.Opened += OnPositionsOpened;
        }

        protected override void OnTick()

            if (Symbol.Ask == Symbol.Bid)
            {
                PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, 1000, Symbol.Ask, "Lable", 10, 10, DateTime.Now.AddHours(2));

Something like this?

private int _TradeCount;
        private int _TradeDay;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            _TradeCount = 0;

        protected override void OnTick()
        {

            bool _TradeOk = _TradeCount <= 2;

            if (Server.Time.Day == _TradeDay + 1)
                _TradeCount = 0;

            if (......&& _TradeOk)

Nope. Robots cannot make decisions. Unless you want to lose money of course. The best robot i've seen so far with the best results, was one that opened trades fully and completely at random and had TP = SL * 4. So no robots for me. At least not when you want to double your balance every month.

I'm not talking about the perfect robot. I don't know if it does exist or not. But humans are like robots: we are not perfect at taking decisions. The only diference is that we can change our strategy while we are trading and a robot always does the same thing. And because the market conditions changes, robots fail.

But you will agree that humans fail for the same reason: because we tend to change too much and we don't follow a strong strategy. 

And here's the paradox: we want to be more like robots, but we want robots to be more like humans.

Sure, random is our enemy. But how can you assure that your pesonal decisions aren't random? Neither robots nor humans can't see the future. The only thing a human could do is to get a strategy and following it without any exceptions. But that's what a robot does. So, I encourage you to code every step, even step 2.

I think jeex is right. I think the dream robot for me would be the one you describe jeex. And when it got to step 2 you would get a image of the chart a option to take the trade or not on you phone. Only problemis that you can't trade when you sleep :/

I got it to work when i started the robut using the code below, but I still can get it to work when backtesting, is it not supported?

double y = Symbol.Bid;
ChartObjects.DrawHorizontalLine("hLine", y,         
       Colors.Yellow, 2, LineStyle.Lines);

Here is my e-mail : MrSvensli@hotmail.no

thanks my friend 

1 we will use simple movingaverage  period 20

2 macd croosover 

How it works 

When the macdis below  0 and the the macd cross below the signal and the market is below the 20 moving average we sell on the second closing bar

Also we buy if the macd cross above the signal above the 0  we buy in the second green closing bar 

 

the most impotent thing in this strategy is the second closing bar  if the first bar went below the 20 moving average we will wait for the second bar to enter and most likely that bar will be the one to close the profit on  if you are scalper.

if you did not understand this I will try to provide you with pictures :) 

 

sorry for my bad English 

I will try to code it, send me an email, so i get your email. I wil send you the finished code there

Here is a simple robot using RSI. If you want to use another indecator change the part after indicators to the indecator you want to use. Remember to add the parameaters the robut use like (source and periods)

If you want to use a indecator you cahe downloaded use Indicators.GetIndicator<// the name of the indecator>(// the parameters the indecator use);
You wil also have to refrense the robot by clicking the Add Refrens butten and finding the idecator you are using.
