how could you install version 4.1?

Hi Xammo,

may I ask, how could you install version 4.1?

I want to install old version 4.1, because newer versions have so many issues. But so far without success.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks and Best Regards

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

The screenshot you sent is not related to 

When running for a while the Bollinger Bands are not updated any more, LastValue gives back an old value! Is this a known bug?

We are not able to assess if there is a problem and what it is,  unless we have some source code that reproduces the issue.

the screen shot is related to to the second issue

it can be easily reproduced, just copy any cbot to another pc and run it for a few days, then switch the symbol and it will look as below, no chance to get the chart, you have to restart cTrader. I know I don't have this issue on my development pc where I build the algo file. That happens if you copy only the algo file to another pc.

Hi Panagiotis,

that sounds not good, of course I cannot share the cBot code as it is a working, money making cBot.

cTrader looks like this below if you switch the symbol.

Just copy any cbot to another pc and run it for a few days, then switch the symbol and it will look as below, no chance to get the chart, you have to restart cTrader.

Hi,

I just tested your code on EURUSD and it works fine, there are enough weekly bars for the moving average.

If bars.LoadMoreHistory() doesn't load enough bars then it means there is not enough historical bars for that symbol time frame.

The code I tested:

using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class MTissue : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("MA TimeFrame", DefaultValue = "Weekly")]
        public TimeFrame MATimeFrame { get; set; }

        [Parameter("MA Period", DefaultValue = 200)]
        public int MAPeriod { get; set; }

        [Parameter("MA Type", DefaultValue = MovingAverageType.Simple)]
        public MovingAverageType MAType { get; set; }

        private MovingAverage _ma;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            var bars = MarketData.GetBars(MATimeFrame);

            while (bars.Count < MAPeriod * 2)
            {
                var numberOfLoadedBars = bars.LoadMoreHistory();

                Print(numberOfLoadedBars);

                if (numberOfLoadedBars < 1) break;
            }

            Print(bars.Count);

            _ma = Indicators.MovingAverage(bars.ClosePrices, MAPeriod, MAType);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            Print("distance={0}", _ma.Result.LastValue.ToString("f2"));
        }
    }
}

Result:

31/03/2022 15:12:37.740 | CBot instance [New cBot, EURUSD, h1] started.
31/03/2022 15:12:38.599 | 1596

Hi Ahmad,

I tried with cTrader 4.1 ICMarkets and TopFX without success. Bars count is only 99 and then MA result is NAN.

Do you use CTrader 4.2?

Best Regards
Thomas

RE: precision if stopLoss or takeProfit is specified in pips

PanagiotisCharalampous said:

Hi FireMyst,

Backtesting is a simulation of the trading on your machine. It does not communicate with the server and it does not account for all possible parameretes of a cBot's runtime. The specific error is sent by the server where the checks are a bit more strict. I would advise you to test your cBots on a demo account as well before moving to a live trading account.

Hi Panagiotis,

I saw for most Symbols the precision for stopLoss or takeProfit specified in pips is 1 digit. But for e.g. XAUUSD it is 0 digits.

Is there a way to find out programatically what the precision is?

Kind Regards,

Thomas
