Hi alisalehicontact,

You can use Position.EntryTime property and compare it with Server.Time to decide if a position with be closed or not.

Thanks a lot for your reply It helped me to better understand the logic but unfortunately i couldn't make it work,theas are the thing i did:

1- I added a parameter to be able to control the amount of time I want the trade to continue

[Parameter("Max time position open(minute)", DefaultValue = 15, MinValue = 5)]
public int MaxTimeOpen { get; set; }

2-then as you suggested i added the Position.EntryTime property and server time to where the bot opens my positions and I also add posOpenTimeMinute to be able to comare

        private void OpenPosition(TradeType type)
        {
            double Volume = Symbol.QuantityToVolumeInUnits(LotSize);
            ExecuteMarketOrder(type, this.SymbolName, Volume, InstanceName, null, null);
            Print(LastResult.Position.EntryTime.Minute);
            Print(Server.Time.Minute)
            int posOpenTimeMinute = position.EntryTime.Minute + MaxTimeOpen;

3-I tried to add this logic to where bot closes my postions:

                if (Server.Time.Minute > posOpenTimeMinute)
                {

                ClosePosition(TradeType.Buy);

but I am getting this error: Error CS1513: } expected wich I cant figure out where is the problem

here is the whole code again after adding these new things:

Thanks a lot man :) you just made my day,it works now

I did some backtest and optimization but the results were not great,then I changed it into two different Dema instead of Tema&Dema and the results were better,but I need to Add one more indicator to filter out the false signals and I think AdxVma is the right choise, this way when market is flat bot wont open a position.

This is the code for AdxVma:

using System;
using cAlgo.API;

    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class AdxVma : Indicator

        public IndicatorDataSeries Falling { get; set; }
 
        [Output("Flat", Color = Colors.Gold, PlotType = PlotType.Points, Thickness = 2)]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Flat { get; set; }

}

But now I have an other problem adding this code to my bot, I want the logic be like if AdxVma wasent flat open a position but this dosent work and I know mainly because my lack of knowledge in c# :(

RE:

Tatsuya said:

You don't need get set for variables,try this one instead:
private DEMA Dema;
private TEMA Tema;
I'd like to see the DEMA and TEMA code if the code above doesn't work.

Also the last error is just telling you that there is a newer API that does the same thing.

You can simply replace QuantityToVolume with QuantityToVolumeInUnits.

Thanks for your reply,that didnt work,this is the code for DEMA:

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
 
namespace cAlgo.Indicators
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class DEMA : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter]
        public DataSeries DataSource { get; set; }
         
        [Output("DEMA",Color = Colors.Yellow)]
        public IndicatorDataSeries dema { get; set; }
 
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 14)]
        public int Period { get; set; }
 
        private ExponentialMovingAverage ema;
        private ExponentialMovingAverage ema2;
         
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            ema = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(DataSource,Period);//i need the correct DataSeries
            ema2 = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(ema.Result,Period);
        }
         
        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
           dema[index] = (2* ema.Result[index] - ema2.Result[index]);
        }
    }

and this is for TEMA:

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
 
namespace cAlgo.Indicators
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class TEMA : Indicator
    {
        [Output("TEMA")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries tema { get; set; }
         
        [Parameter("Data Source")]
        public DataSeries DataSource { get; set; }
 
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 14)]
        public int Period { get; set; }
 
        private ExponentialMovingAverage ema1;
        private ExponentialMovingAverage ema2;
        private ExponentialMovingAverage ema3;
     
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            ema1 = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(DataSource,Period);
            ema2 = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(ema1.Result,Period);
            ema3 = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(ema2.Result,Period);
        }
         
        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            tema[index] = 3*ema1.Result[index] - 3*ema2.Result[index] + ema3.Result[index];
        }
    }

and if I replace replace QuantityToVolume with QuantityToVolumeInUnits I get this Error:

Error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'long'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

and by the way I havent write the code for this two indicator, TEMA & DEMA cods are for user
