EDIT: Okay, it works if you just use the indicator as standalone, but if you include it in a bot as a custom indicator, it stops working, although i'm 100% sure it stopped working because i had this working in the past with 0 code changes

EDIT2:

Ended up with this and it works so far

public bool IsLastBar2(int index)
{
return Bars[index].OpenTime == Bars.LastBar.OpenTime;
}

Hi,

It works fine on my system, it works only if new ticks are coming and the market is open.

RE:

Hey PanagiotisCharalampous ,

After checking the ClosePositionAsync reply you gave me, i went and checked the code, and I already had that for a while, and it still locks the UI

try
{
TradeOperation tOperation = ClosePositionAsync(pos);
while(tOperation.IsExecuting)
{
Thread.Sleep(50);
}
tResult = tOperation.TradeResult;
}
catch (InvalidOperationException IOX)

I havea full threaded implementation for the cBot, the call is outside of the ontick/onbar and runs on its own thread , sorry for the late reply btw

Hi tperalta82,

During peak hours, it might take some time for your order to be filled if the infrastructure (servers, LPs etc) is busy. If you want to avoid UI freezing, try using ClosePositionAsync.

RE: RE:

Another thing i just thought of, we did some tests on demo and this did not occur, is it possible that when using demo, the LP's won't be an issue as the orders won't even go there?

RE:

Hi again,

So, since we have no idea how to mitigate the possible LP issue (it's not a thing that we can just switch, or am I wrong?), do you think trying it on another broker would fix the issue?

Or what would you suggest?

Thanks in advance!

RE:

Hi PanagiotisCharalampous,

By LP what do you mean? Broker? Liquidity Provider? Kind of lost here.

RE:

Good morning PanagiotisCharalampous,

Yeah the asynchronous will fix the ui lock, as doe the server response delays, do you think if we use openapi instead of regular cbot, this can be mitigated?

Or the behavior will be the same?

Best regards,

Hi tperalta82,

This happens due to equity to equity calculation of the positions. If the follower's account has a smaller balance that the strategy provider, then the initial position volume is rounded up. Hence when strategy modified, the equity to equity volume does not change. Try following the strategy with the same balance as the strategy provider and you will realize that it works fine.

Just tested, but it is weird, because if I open a new position, it will enter but if that's the way it works, it's fine, will not use the modify position.

Thanks

We created a test strategy yesterday and deleted, but I have one for these tests that I can use:

https://ct.icmarkets.com/copy/strategy/15330?c=VeGuXGsF&i=6861 tell me when you're following it. i'm going to generate trade data manually and take screenshots

That provider is on ICMarkets, so you can follow it let's say on ... fondex demo acc or other that is not icmarkets

Provider Account Original Position:

Follower Account Original Position:

Provider Account Modified Position (doubled):

Follower Account still has Original Value and will never update:

On Provider Page, VOlume is correct:

FYI:

The Position modification is reflected on the provider's page, just not on the followers accounts

RE:

Ahh I see, thank you, will try and post results

PanagiotisCharalampous said:

Hi tperalta82,

Interesting... are you backtesting? haven't tried without backtesting though

No, you did not mention anywhere that this happens on backtesting. On backtesting this method is not supported at the moment. If you want to get more bars during backtesting, you need to start testing from an earlier date.

RE:

Thanks a lot for your reply, that was one of my first tries, doesn't work, some pairs go to 128 others 120, got one to 198.

After the while the strategy stops due to a timeout because of this.

I even connected VS to make proper debug with breakpoints, and no, doesn't add more bars

PanagiotisCharalampous said:

Hi tperalta82,

You should be calling the method until the desired amount of bars is retrieved. See below
            var bars = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame, SymbolName);
            while (bars.Count < 1000)
            {
                bars.LoadMoreHistory();
            }
