You can pass decimal values to Bollinger Bands indicator:

Indicators.BollingerBands(MarketSeries.Close, 14, 1.5, MovingAverageType.Simple);

here you go:

        int GetBarsAgo(Position position)
        {
            for (var i = MarketSeries.OpenTime.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
            {
                if (position.EntryTime > MarketSeries.OpenTime[i])
                    return MarketSeries.OpenTime.Count - 1 - i;
            }
            return -1;
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            var barsAgo = GetBarsAgo(position);

            if (barsAgo > 5)
            {
                ClosePosition(position);
            }
        }

Calculating Volume based on fixed risk and stop loss

        private long GetVolume(double risk, int stopLossPips)
        {
            var moneyToInvestInDepositCurrency = Account.Balance * risk;
            var moneyToInvestInQuoteCurrency = moneyToInvestInDepositCurrency / (Symbol.PipValue / Symbol.PipSize);
            var volume = moneyToInvestInQuoteCurrency / (stopLossPips * Symbol.PipSize);
            var normalizedVolume = Symbol.NormalizeVolume(volume);

            return normalizedVolume;
        }

example of usage with risk 25% and SL 10 pips

            var risk = 0.25;
            var stopLossPips = 10;
            var volume = GetVolume(risk, stopLossPips);
            
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, volume, null, stopLossPips, null);

RE:

Dear Developers,

As you previously said "Even if trading is not possible platform can receive new prices which could produce new bar." OK I accept that, I do not understand why, but it's not important... 

Therefore, I need to open the half of the positions by manually. In this case very difficult to set the proper SL/TP levels and set the position sizing.

So, please help me to handle this problem with a sample code.

Thanks in advance!

 

You can try the following snippet

            while (true)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Symbol.VolumeMin);
                if (LastResult.IsSuccessful)
                {
                    break;
                }
                else
                {
                    Thread.Sleep(1000);
                }
            }

Any help will be appreciated!

Im looking for a CBOT that will automatically open a counter trade as soon as an original trade is opened. How would one go about that?

Thanks

There are two ways to do that.

First of all you can convert moving average value to pips distance from a spot price.

Another way is to execute market order without TP and then modify TP as an absolute value.

            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, Volume, label, StopLossPips, null);
            if (LastResult.IsSuccessful)
            {
                ModifyPosition(LastResult.Position, LastResult.Position.StopLoss, mAverage);
            }

there is a layout not mentioned in the window called "Free Chart Mode". It's the third chart layout on on the toolbar. Using this layout you can move charts around, reorganise them and change their size and order

You need to add indicator to the chart:

instead of 

if (enableATR = true)

you need to write

if (enableATR == true)
