Re: stop other robots from a single one

Hello everybody,

I'm the one more guy in search for a solution to this problem.

In addition to the already mentioned third party softwares, external file references etc., I was wondering if we can use the main server as a signal beacon.

Let's hypothesize we have our good MM Robot that wants to protect our equity level by closing all positions and stop other robots when things go wrong . What if it sends a bad volume order (suppose 0$) to deliberately made the main server to produce an error code? At this point we could use the OnError method to stop all your robots on the BadVolume error code. I will try to feature this trick very soon.

And here comes my suggestion to Spotware: why don't try to add a specific error code (HaltRequest would be a nice name) in a way that could use the server as a beacon for a signal generated from the client side?

What do you think about this idea? Is it feasible in your opinion?

Thanks for your attention.

Kind regards

I'm sorry, I've just realized my last answer is utterly wrong.

There is a lot of work for me to do in advance...

@ Forex19: concerning the bad TP calculation, I think the problem is in 

private int LotStep = 3000;

you can change it  to LotStep = 1000 or 10000

Do you think that the error is in the value "3000" or variable declared "private" ?

 

@ Spotware: Forex19's robot places an order than modifies it, using old API classes "Trade.Create***MarketOrder(...)", and OnPositionOpened(...) where a new TP is set up; what is the best way to update this system to the new API?

I think a solution could be to try the following methods: ExecuteMarketOrderAsync(TradeType.***, Symbol, Volume, "My Label", OnExecuted); and 

private void OnExecuted(TradeResult result)
{
    if (result.IsSuccessful)
    {
       ModifyPosition(position, position.StopLoss, TakeProfitPrice);
}
}

does it can be a good solution?

Kind regards

 Could you better indicate which parts of the code update? And how exactly? 

Thank you very much.

RE: Hello,

Hi 

do we need the declaration:

using cAlgo.API.Internals;

to make it works?

Thanks a lot

The below code must be what you might need:

 

protected override void OnTick()
{         
    if( Account.Equity - Account.Balance > 10 )
    {
	foreach (var position in Account.Positions)
       	{
               	Trade.Close(position);
       	}
    }
}

 

Let us know if that worked for you!
