Can we please have tick charts with higher ticks value probably 133 , 233 etc..34 max ticks value is very limited to start with. Please provide higher value of ticks in the charts.

Looks good Balena, but can you run it for longer duration ( 2-3 years ) and let us aware of commission and spread assumptions.

OnBar method is invoked when new bar is opened. At that moment MarketSeries collection already contains tick from new bar. It means that last bar is not formed and in general cases open = high = low = close. If you want to access to last formed bar you need take previous one.

You can use following code to access to the previous bar:

   Print("Open: {0}, High: {1}, Low: {2}, Close: {3}", MarketSeries.Open.Last(1), MarketSeries.High.Last(1), MarketSeries.Low.Last(1), MarketSeries.Close.Last(1));

Thanks a lot guys ! Cheers

I sent probably 10 times to you guys.

We haven't received troubleshooting information yet. Please make sure that your antivirus and firewall software do not block troubleshooting information.

1) My bot is simply dumping bid/ask which is coming in live env ( not in backtesting ) using Print() with using timeFrame of 1 min . I have put my print() statement in OnTick() function and there is no OnBar() function . In this case, i am not able to see bot doing anything and not printing anything on screen even though i can see ticks moving. 

Why is OnTick() function not getting triggered ? I am so confused at this stage . Please help.

Please make sure that your previous OnTick handler finished. In order to do that you can add a print statement to the begging of OnTick handler and one more print statement to the end.

Example:

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            Print("OnTick started");
            
            //your code here
            
            Print("OnTick finished");
        }

 

Thanks Team. It is fixed now. 

But now in new version, i see that we don't have Open/High/Low/Close for historical bars. Is it possible at all to retrieve that information in bot ? I tried all mode of backtesting ( tick data, 1m(open) , 1hr(open) etc ) and in all modes OnBar() gives me a single price for open/high/low/close. What is a bot depends on historical High - Low etc..

Appreciate your help.

i downloaded Spotware cAlgo and tried 'Tick data from Server(accurate)' but got different error this time  . I have sent you troubleshooting logs ( Shift+Ctrl+Alt+T ).

My bot is just trying to print/dump tick data ( Bid/Ask ).  Please help !!

RE:

Sorry i mean 15 seconds ( not milliseconds)..i am getting only 4 quotes per 1 min duration inside OnTick() in backtesting, while there should be way more than that as TickVolume is  much higher. 

Spotware team, can you please advise ?

Hi Team and Fellow members,

Can you please clarify how OnTick() works in backtesting as i am trying to get all the ticks ie..Symbol.Bid for a 1 day duration in my bot to do some analysis but it is returning me data points which are 15 milliseconds away each time inside OnTick(). Example output

08/20/2014 00:00:15   1.66202

08/20/2014 00:00:30   1.66194

08/20/2014 00:00:45   1.66202

I was assuming that i should be able to see ticks coming at any time and not evenly placed with 15 milliseconds away. Can someone please help or explain ? I need to see the history of ticks .
