Hi keno.clayton15,

Please provide the complete cBot code and steps to reproduce the problem.

Best Regards,

Is there an email address I can send the code to instead of posting it here? I'd prefer sharing it only with the devs for troubleshooting. Also, I've already come up with a workaround to the issue, but I'll disable the workaround so that you can reproduce the error.

Hi there!

 

I havent found anything on this subject anywhere, hence this topic.

Does anyone know how long 1 tick is in terms of time/ seconds/minutes?

 

Ty!

Try reading up on this article guide-to-ctrader-tick-charts which goes into more detail on tick charts.

Dear Keno,

did you try "Positions.Count " instead? For my cBot this works great under all mentioned conditions (high speed, non visual mode) to ensure, that I can`t open more trades then I want to.

I've tried that before, but in this case I had to use Positions.FindAll because I wanted the bot to check for only the trades that it opened. Unfortunately, it didn't work. However, I did manage to come up with a reasonable workaround to this issue.

So what I've done is to move the logic from OnBar to my Positions.Closed event function. In other words, a new position can only be opened when a trade is closed, either by SL or TP closing. Doing this has prevented extra orders from being created within a few seconds of each other. The bug still exists, but at least there's a bit of a workaround possible.
