RE:

This bug is now been fixed at ver. 4.4.19

Capt.Z-Fort.Builder said:

Hello, 

I have the below code, it works well in ICMarkets cTrader (ver. 4.1.17) but does not display the correct result in cTrader Spotware (ver4.3.11). It was compiled by both .Net 4.x and .Net 6.x. The results are identical.

When I test the line with the problem, it seems only to occur in Initialize(), and in Calculate() it works fine. 

This bug should have been existing since 4.3.8 (as my first test of the cross-broker version). Please confirm if it can be repeated on your side.

Please advise,

Thanks.

This issue is temporarily solved by a custom indicator: Edit Icon Comment

Usage:
1. Select Icon to popup a ChartText with the icon's comment;
2. Edit ChartText as needed;
3. Alt + D to save revised comments, hit again to hide popup ChartText;

RE: RE: RE:

It's the last update here, I don't know what I've done. But it really works as planned, not in the ICMarket 4.1.17 version, but only works fine in Spotware 4.3.8 version, and no matter compiled in the 4.1.17 or 4.3.8 target Framework 4.x or 6.0.

Nice... Topic Closed.

TheNiatpac said:

BTW, I've just tested it on my 2nd PC, the problem is still there.

Both PC systems are Windows 10 Pro.  I think I will give it up on this topic, and use an alternative way to fit my demand in the bots. Thanks.

TheNiatpac said:

OK, thanks for confirming.  It seems that problem is with my Windows system.  I might try to reinstall the system again test another day.

PanagiotisCharalampous said:

Hi TheNiatpac,

Thanks for the reply. I tested it again in Spotware ver4.3.8.6352  It does work for the second hit, but not for the 3rd time. I'd expect it can work continuously for as many times as I hit. Can you please check again and advise

Works fine for multiple hits too.

And I have another bug report post Email notification not working in 4.3.8 , I've inserted the sample code there. Please help test and advice.

We will reply there.

RE:

Thanks, I decide to use Chart.MouseDown to clear the message. :)

amusleh said:

Hi,

Try Ctrl button instead of Alt:

using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewIndicator : Indicator
    {
        private ChartStaticText tx_Rsch;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            tx_Rsch = Chart.DrawStaticText("Debugging", "Start Debugging..", VerticalAlignment.Bottom, HorizontalAlignment.Center, Color.FromHex("AAEEDDCC"));
            Chart.MouseMove += Chart_MouseMove;
            Chart.MouseLeave += Chart_MouseLeave;
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
        }

        private void Chart_MouseMove(ChartMouseEventArgs obj)
        {
            tx_Rsch.Text = obj.CtrlKey ? string.Format("X: {0}  Y: {1}", obj.MouseX, obj.MouseY) : string.Empty;
        }

        private void Chart_MouseLeave(ChartMouseEventArgs obj)
        {
            tx_Rsch.Text = string.Empty;
        }
    }
}

Alt pauses the indicator event loop until you click somewhere or press another keyboard key.

RE:

Thanks for your reply. Your explanation makes sense.

Interestingly, I found if I minimize the window, the CPU usage gets back to a normal level, when cBots keeps on. Anyway, it's not a big issue. 

Thanks again.

amusleh said:

Hi,

CPU usage can be related to lots of things, and you can't micro manage it.

When you load the bars of multiple symbols it subscribes to their incoming bars and that can increase slightly the CPU usage even if market is closed.

The cTrader CPU usage on Task manager is not just the amount of CPU cycles that is used by your cBot.

RE:

I have resolved this problem by bringing another method to return the Y-value.

        private double HLineYValue(string s_HLineNm) //Return HorizentalLine's Y-Value by HorizentalLine'sName
        {
            var hLines = Chart.FindAllObjects(ChartObjectType.HorizontalLine);
            foreach (ChartHorizontalLine hline in hLines) { if (hline.Name == s_HLineNm) { return hline.Y; } } 
            return 0;
        }

TheNiatpac said:

Hello,

I use the below event to detect if a HorizentalLine has been modified. And the code can easily get horizentalLine's name, but how can I get the Y value of the modified horizentalLine?

The code below,  horizentalLine.Y.ToString("0.0") report error.

Thanks, if any advice.

        private void Chart_ObjectsModified(ChartObjectsUpdatedEventArgs obj)
        {
            var horizentalLine = obj.ChartObjects.FirstOrDefault(iObject => iObject.ObjectType == ChartObjectType.HorizontalLine);
            if (horizentalLine != null) 
            {
                Print("Found object with name {0}, Y-Value: {1}", horizentalLine.Name, horizentalLine.Y.ToString("0.0");
            }
        }

RE:

amusleh said:

Hi,

It works fine, sometimes ScrollXTo and ZoomLevel can cause chart reload due to lack of data, and that will re-initialize your indicator.

Notifications only work on live environment, not in back test.

Yes, especially when the customised indicator has many parameters.
