Hi hiba7rain.
CBots are run on the client side (your machine), not on server. You can use VPS in order to keep cbot running on the server (but it will cost some money). Take a look here.
If you need to get some idea about C# language than you can read this post. You don't have to read everything there, just what you consider to be useful for you.

Hi Invalid,
Thanks again, yes its working fine now after i have change it as you advise me :) it was helpful to point the missing functions to me , for the moment I will do some modifications and additions before testing the robot live and ill update you , by the way why robots stop functioning once you log out form calgo or ctrader platforms?

Hi hiba7rain.
You don't understand smth fundamental yet.
Positions - it's a collection of all of your positions.
if you execute next code:
foreach (var position in Positions) { ClosePosition(position); }it will close all your positions. If you need to close specific positions, than do as you did to get them and pass them to ClosePosition method.
protected override void OnTick() { CheckForEMA(); } private void CheckForEMA() { if (ema1.Result.LastValue > Symbol.Ask) { var positionsToClose = Positions.FindAll("calgooob", Symbol, TradeType.Buy); foreach (var position in positionsToClose) { ClosePosition(position); } } }hiba7rain said:
hanks for your reply in fact I also got some help for friends here and I used the following method but am still having a problem that if i use the method all other positions will be closed which i dont want it to happen
the method I use is
protected override void OnTick()
{
CheckForEMA();
var positions = Positions.FindAll("calgooob", Symbol, TradeType.Buy);
}
private void CheckForEMA()
{
if (ema1.Result.LastValue > Symbol.Ask)

This was an example of how to use the Close() method.
If(SMA.Result.LastValue > 1) Close();
It is the same as the method for opening a position, but insted of opening a position it closes it.
So you have for your criteria for closing a position that is the IF("something") then close.
In the example i used all positions would close when the Simple Moving Average hit 1.
If you want the position to close when EMA is equal or less the the as you write it like this:
If(EMA.Result.LastValue <= Symbol.Ask) Close();

RE: RE: RE:
Hey Invalid,
hope all things fine with you, and thanks again, yes its a bit confusion for me understanding the functions around calgo, but any way I think I did apply the same method you described below and it didnt work with me as I remember .... actually am not sure, I will apply it again and let you know the results

It closes all positions because you iterate through all positions and call ClosePosition. It's up to you what positions should be closed.

one is via stop loss parameter
You set the stoploss on executing market order. So no extra actions needed there.
ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Volume, "calgoo", StopLossInPips, TakeProfitInPips);
other by value of ask price against EMA is it possible to do so? if yes how to?

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE:
Thank you but no its still not working , i applied it as follows
private Position _position;
protected override void OnTick()
{
CheckForEMA();
}
private void CheckForEMA()
{
if (ema1.Result.LastValue > Symbol.Ask)
{
_position = null;
}
}
}
}
if I start the robot for example with GBPUSD and i opened a trade with other pair of currency say like AUDUSD it will be closed as soon as ema>symbol.ask condition with AUDUSD
applies which is weird
Invalid said:
Take a look at guide. ExecuteMarketOrder returns an object with Position inside.
Quick sample:
private Position _position; protected override void OnStart() { //....initialize ema1 _position = ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, 20000).Position; } protected override void OnTick() { CheckForEMA(); } private void CheckForEMA() { if (ema1.Result.LastValue > Symbol.Ask) { _position=null; } }

hey modarkat
thank you for the comment, I have a question with regards to using bars, is it possible to close opened position if for example the bar value became less than for example moving average?
if yes how to do it?
thanks
here you go:
int GetBarsAgo(Position position) { for (var i = MarketSeries.OpenTime.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--) { if (position.EntryTime > MarketSeries.OpenTime[i]) return MarketSeries.OpenTime.Count - 1 - i; } return -1; } protected override void OnTick() { var barsAgo = GetBarsAgo(position); if (barsAgo > 5) { ClosePosition(position); } }

Add this to you code
private void Close()
{
foreach (var position in Positions)
{
ClosePosition(position);
}
}
And when you want to close a position add Close()
Like this:
If(SMA.Result.LastValue > 1)
Close();
Hope it helped
I did as you mentioned but still the positions are closed on the stop loss parameter
any suggestions?
