I believe with the event listeners, they will only work for the current running instance. That's it.
So if you have your bot under AUDUSD for example, it will only respond when bars are opened for AUDUSD.
Your code is only getting the information for the current symbol instance the bot is running under.
Thus, you need to change your code to handle multiple symbols. Example guidance below:
// We get a symbol array for the following for symbols
MySymbols = Symbols.GetSymbols("EURUSD", "GBPUSD");
//You need to get the bars data for each symbol now
Bars[] SymbolBars = new Bars[MySymbols.Length];
//You need create a variable array to keep track of the symbol's current index
int[] Indexes = new int[MySymbols.Length];
//You need create a variable array to keep track of when a new bar is opened
int[] _previousIndexes = new int[MySymbols.Length];
//Loop to initialize all the data
for (int x = 0; x < MySymbols.Length; x++)
{
//get the bars data for each symbol
SymbolBars[x] = MarketData.GetBars(<the time frame you want>, MySymbols[x]);
//define your onTick method in your code that every symbol will use to check for ticks
MySymbols[x].Tick += OnTickEventMethod;
//Initialize all these
Indexes[x] = 0;
_previousIndexes[x] = 0;
}
//You need to define and write your OnTickEventMethod
private void OnTickEventMethod(SymbolTickEventArgs stea)
{
//Get the symbol the tick event came from
int x = Array.FindIndex(MySymbols, element => element == stea.SymbolName);
//Skip any bar symbols that may not have loaded yet.
if (SymbolBars[x] == null)
return;
else
{
Indexes[x] = SymbolBars[x].ClosePrices.Count - 1;
//check if a new bar has formed
if (Indexes[x] > _previousIndexes[x])
{
//we have a new bar
//write your onBar logic here
//update our bar trackers
_previousIndexes[x] = Indexes[x];
}
//from here down is where you would put your normal tick event code
//if you want anything for the specific symbol, you have to reference it through the arrays and create arrays for your variables.
//For example, you can't do this any more:
//countLabelFuerte++
//You need to make it an array as well and do this because you only want to increase the counter for the specific symbol,
//not across all symbols:
countLabelFuerte[x]++;
//Welcome to the big leagues :-)
//If you're a beginning programmer, what I would suggest you do is get your bot working as you want it for one
//symbol only. And then when it's working to your satisfaction, convert everything to arrays to handle multiple symbols
//under one bot instance.
}
}
Why would results differ so much with only 3 trades been opened all within 17 days of each other?
One possibility is because of the market moves within those 17 days? That's how the markets work :-)
I'm not sure how you expect anyone to help you when you haven't described the strategy, shown any code, why you're using one-minute bar data as opposed to tick-data doing your testing, what time frame the bot is running under, the trade entries/exits on the back test with and without the optimized parameters, etc etc.
For instance, the bot could make decisions on every tick, but by running on one-minute bars you only get the bar data, not every tick.
Within bars they could be huge spikes not captured in bar data but would be with tick data.
Is there a reason you haven't posted a screen capture showing the issue?
Normally when I am copying a strategist, when they open trades I can see their positions live under the positions tab after the recent updates, it returned for two days and then disappeared again. Enter the image below, the red arrow shows where it's usually located.
I can't help you because I don't use cTrader Copy. However, at least you clarified where the tab missing from, because for most people, the “Positions” tab is on the “Trade” window. Lesson learned - you need to be more specific when posting issues :-)
Next time it happens report it as a technical issue within cTrader and put a link to this thread in the details section along with other pertinent information such as:

I am interested in whether it is possible to make a code to reset the bot itself after each closed position?
Yes. When a position is closed, just reset all your internal parameters/properties. for instance, if you have a counter, reset it to zero; if you have some sort of “flag”, reset it to its default value; if you have any objects, reinitialize as appropriate.
Second, is it possible to reset the bot after a loss and enter the next position with a 4x bigger lot?
Yes. In your bot's code, when a position is closed, check to see if it did for a loss.
If it did lose, then update your position-size parameter value as appropriate.
In simplistic terms. Obviously the complexity of the implementation will depend on how clean your code is.
Have you tried updating the cTrader.Automate package to the latest version?
I think not, how can I do it?
I found the information here "https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-algo/visual-studio-ides/#creating-new-cbotsindicators" but I did not use Visual studio to create the cBot, does it also affect its operation?
If you created the bot and have the source code, you need to post the code where the error is occurring. Otherwise, it's hard for anyone to help you because they can't see what your code is doing. It shouldn't matter whether you use visual studio or another development environment.
If you didn't create the bot and/or do not have access to the source code, then it's probably easiest to contact the bot's developer.

Maybe it's a language barrier, but nowhere in the code you posted does it show you trying to get the SL or TP from the position that was opened.
If you are trying to set the SL or TP of the current position, nowhere in the code you posted are you doing that either.
You need to do something like :
