Compare is used to check if strings are equal.

Use Contains method

Symbol.Code.Contains("EUR");

RE:

Check if it is null instead of true.

MarketData.GetSymbol("holaamigos")!=null;

Or you can create an extension:

    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            Print("Symbol exists: {0}", MarketData.SymbolExists("E33URGBP"));
        }
    }

    public static class Ext
    {
        public static bool SymbolExists(this MarketData marketData, string symbol)
        {
            return marketData.GetSymbol(symbol) != null;
        }

RE:

Hi Saxx. I didn't get you.

1. Take your code. Convert at http://2calgo.com/.
2. Copy converted code.
3. Create new Indicator in cAlgo
4. Paste the code from step 2
5. Build
6. Create instance

Which step failed on your side?

Hi jimmyh89. May be you have parameter of type long?

Hello,

So I've been trying to write my first bot,
I got rid of all the compilation errors one by one, but now, I have this message in red saying

unable to load assembly: unsupported parameter type 'int64'

It doesn't show me on which line the error is and I don't use any 'int64' in my code, only 'int' itself.

any ideas?

2. TimeSpan. This one has methods like FromHours, FromMilliseconds

            interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(111);

Hi to all.

Someone knows which is the min time interval that is possible to use in a bot?

I mean, I need to put an order as near as possible at a date time, say 10.00 am. 

Which is the nearest time that I can give to the bot as entry time? Only in second (or 9.59.59) or I can use msec too? 

Thanks.

RE:

DateTime initialization is wrong.

Currently you use this one (Year, Month, Hour). You need to create a date time using (year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds).

Hi,

I'm trying to code a simple indicator to insert vertical lines on the chart at specific hours.

Dispose DataReader when you exit from OnTick. Example:

  using(MySqlDataReader Reader = cmd.ExecuteReader()) 
  {
       // your cool stuff here
  }

Spotware said:

Probably database is the bottleneck. You can try the following things:

• Do not establish database connection on every query. Instead of that you can establish database connection in OnStart method and drop it in OnStop method
• Install database on your machine, instead of connecting to remote one
• Try other database engines. There is a chance that this problem is specific for mysql.

Hard to read in upper case

dear developers, thanks so much for giving us the best platform we have until today with ctrader, but the most important feature is need it , i suggest to put inside the chart in all the time frames percentage of the quotes move in each pairs , display inside the chart by pips and percentage moves similar to myforexbook quotes exemple here http://www.myfxbook.com/forex-market/currencies/240  ,when i trade i use myforexbook quotes in diferent time frames in combination with the chart , it will be nice for ctrader to display this feature in all the pairs in all the time frames in that way i will have to use my favorite platform only and not depend of any other system.,  exemple gbp-nzd inside the chat in the corresponding time frame i could see how much pips and percentage move the pair is doing with each moving of the chart , i hope i explain this feature correctly and make myself clear, thank .
