About the first issue, it can easily be avoided if you update one instance of cAlgo at a time. In other words avoid restarting all instances of cAlgo at once.
About the above error, could you please send us the scenario (or anything you remember about your actions prior to the error) under which you received this?
It will help expedite the investigation of the cause of the error. Thank you in advance.

Sorry for my late reply. I did not do any thing prior to the error. But some time the error disappear when I use another copy of the robot ( I just changed its name).

Regards,

Thanh

Please send us an email at engage@ctrader.com with the information of which cAlgo platform you use (from the help tab -> About cAlgo in the top menu) and indicate whether you are using a live or demo account, so that we can investigate it. Also please let us know the timeframe and symbol you use.
If the market is volatile, it is possible to get such slippage using a small timeframe but such market conditions are not usual.

Please note that with the next release you will be able to define the Market Range for Market Orders. Stop Orders become Market Orders when the target price is reached.

Hi admin,

I will do as your request.

I there anyway to set slippage for robot?. I am really facing this problem with pendingorders.
Is this improved if I use larger timeframe?

Hi,

It is different than the BuyStopOrder (which became longposition, Screen shot) with price 1.33127 ( not 1.33057 as the log).

Otherway, the log report 1.33057 (this price complied to my robot) when It placed at 1.33127.

thanks

Hi,

To make it cleare, please have a look at two screenshots below.

Order 18404303 was reported in the log with price 1.33534(my robot should place this price) but the actual price(Buy line) is 1.33539. My hand report shows that this usually happens and the difference could be larger when orders are executed inside OnTick. My robot must work OnTick. I am wondering if this could be improved?

Hello,

If you go to the orders tab and hover over the order then the actual order price will be highlighted on the chart. See screenshot below:

I mean the actual price is different from the price in the log. I assume the price in the log is right. I investigate and found this difference because It is not like the way my robot works. Please explain what can cause this. I don't think robot can make this difference.

Thanks for your promt answer

Please post your code so that we can identify the problem for you.

Hi,

is your problem fixed. Now I am having same problem. It trails only shortposition My trailing code as below.

private void TrailingStop(int _Strigger)

{

if (position == null) return;

if ( position.TradeType == TradeType.Sell)

{

var distance = position.EntryPrice - Symbol.Ask;

if (distance > Strigger* Symbol.PipSize)

{

double newStopLossPrice = Symbol.Ask + Trailing * Symbol.PipSize;

if (position.StopLoss == null || newStopLossPrice < position.StopLoss)

{

Trade.ModifyPosition(position, newStopLossPrice, position.TakeProfit);

}

else

{

var distance = Symbol.Bid - position.EntryPrice;

if (distance > Strigger*Symbol.PipSize)

{

double newStopLossPrice = Symbol.Bid - Trailing * Symbol.PipSize;

if (position.StopLoss == null || newStopLossPrice > position.StopLoss)

{

Trade.ModifyPosition(position, newStopLossPrice, position.TakeProfit);

}

                }
            }
        }

how to combine the two solutions?
because I have a problem with my robot works only trailing Buy

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot("Sample Buy Trailing Robot")]
    public class SampleBuyTrailing : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 10000)]
        public int Volume { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Stop Loss (pips)", DefaultValue = 50)]
        public int StopLoss { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Take Profit (pips)", DefaultValue = 50)]
        public int TakeProfit { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Trigger (pips)", DefaultValue = 20)]
        public int Trigger { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Trailing Stop (pips)", DefaultValue = 10)]
        public int TrailingStop { get; set; }

        private Position position;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            Trade.CreateBuyMarketOrder(Symbol, Volume);

Trade.CreateSellMarketOrder(Symbol,Volume);

        }

        protected override void OnPositionOpened(Position openedPosition)

.......................

thank you very much
cordially

I think you should try below:

if (position == null) return;

if (position != null && position.TradeType == TradeType.Sell)

{ Sell trailing stop block}

else

{ Buy trailing stop block}

Hi atrader,

Firstly, thanks for your kindness. But I still wonder what magic make it very different when using MT4 and Calgo with same input.

I am not a programmer but I had tried to convert it and face this problem. I doubt myself and ask for for another conversion. But my version and your version are same and very different from MT4 version.

MT4 version gives very early signal and I dont understand why. Pls See graph below

Hi,

The key is the commission.

It is 65 per million trade. if trade EURUSD 1 m it takes 65 EUR on a trade and 130 for a position ( position = open + close). That means if the rate EURUSD is 1.3000 it takes 85 udd per 1m trade and 170 usd for a position ( not overnight).

So for the test with an USD account the proper setting is: max spread = 0.5 and commissions is 80 or 90 per million. If I am right the result for 80/1m is below

The first half is quick losing

RE:

cAlgoFx said:

The JEDISCALPER strategy heavily relies on a low market spread(less than 0.5pips).

Which makes our broker's platform ideal for the robot.Also for testing,you have to set your spread to less than 0.5pips.

Thanks

I experienced the same . I use FXPro Calgo.

This robot does not return the same pattern for different initial volume with RiskPct = 0. is this right? Anyway I am doing more tests

Please show where to set the spread for this robot?

Thanks a lot

18:00 is an up bar with close price is 1.29409 but the entry price is 1.29273 => the difference is 12 pips. What can cause this large diffenrence? Is the robot right with this?

I'd like to clearify more

I use print log to shows the Aroon up and Down values

if (Trnd.MarketTrend.LastValue > 0 && !longposition)

{

ClosePosition();

if (Trnd.MTdDiff.LastValue >= 0.00005)

{

if(Arn.Up.LastValue <= ArnOpenPercent)

{

Buy();

Print("Current Aroon Up at Buy is: {0}", Arn.Up.LastValue);

}

if (Trnd.MarketTrend.LastValue < 0 && !shortposition)

{

ClosePosition();

if(Trnd.MTdDiff.LastValue <= -0.00005)

{

if (Arn.Down.LastValue <= ArnOpenPercent)

{

Sell();

Print("Current Aroon Down at Sell is: {0}", Arn.Down.LastValue);

}

and the log shows

We are not sure what you mean. Could you please elaborate? Are you refering to the number of bars elapsed since an entry point?

Yes, I mean the number of bars elapsed since an entry point. I have found but there no such a method to do that. Maybe I can make some logic codes for this but it should have it.
