RE:

Thank you. That was the piece of information i was missing. I guess, i can delete other lines with "using System.xxxx;"

Hi,

DayOfWeek type is not part of Automate API, it's part of .NET framework.

To use DayOfWeek on your code you must add "using System;" on top of your indicator/cBot code file.

Hi Sam,

Your code will stop the cBot completely on the specific days. Try something like this instead

            var day = Server.Time.DayOfWeek;
            if (day == DayOfWeek.Monday || day == DayOfWeek.Tuesday || day == DayOfWeek.Wednesday || day == DayOfWeek.Thursday)
            {
                // Trade
            }

I was trying similar stuff, like this, but i am getting error "Error CS0103: The name 'DayOfWeek' does not exist in the current context". Did something changed since than?

RE: RE:

Ok. the volume needs to be at least 1000, not 100. I missunderstood tooltips there. Wonder why i did not get any error message during backtesting...

marian.kosa said:

I tried it on 2 random forex pairs (eurUsd, UsdJpy), I am backtesting it on my demo account, volume should not be a problem. In Log i see only those print() numbers. 313132313232 etc... nothing about orders.

PanagiotisCharalampous said:

Hi marian.kosa,

On which symbol do you run this? Is the volume appropriate? Do you get any messages in the log?

RE: RE:

Yes, You must remember that SL and TP are in pips. And bars are in actual price, and ATR is the change of price. To get pips from it you need to divide (or multiply?, i forgot) it by Symbol.PipSize or 10000.
At least that is what worked for me in SL and TP calculation.

jackhpfilerrowson said:

 

Also i there a way to set the SL as the High of the last bar and to determine the TP distance from the ATR?

RE:

"pretty basic" is good estimate of my programming skills. :)

Thanks for respond. I was not sure where to look. I should be able figure it out now.

JerryTrader said:

I don't know your level of programming skills, but a pretty basic way of doing it without knowing anything about the cBot API would be to:

1. Create a field or property in your class
2. When you execute the market order, store the bar index in the field/property
3. Add a condition to check if the current bar index is greater than your field/property + 3

 

I think the best way to perform what you are looking for is to override the OnTimer method to set a flag like CanExecuteMarketOrder and stop the timer.
As soon as you execute a market order, you reset the flag and start the timer with Timer.Start() with the timespan you wanna wait before setting the CanExecuteMarketOrder flag.

RE:

I was trying to Last(), but i probably wrote it wrong. 
Anyway i wrote it that way now "double FL = _fractalChaosBands.Low.Last(1);"

Aaand as i was writing my next question, i realized, that i was writing stoploss in price, not in pips....

Thanks, for your time, I should be able to continue from here.

PanagiotisCharalampous said:

Hi marian.kosa,

The index represents the index of the current bar being calculated and as you can see it is passed as a parameter to the Calculate method. So you can use it only inside this method. It is a local variable. If you want to access the values of the indicator inside the cBot, you should consider using Last() method.

RE:

I want to extract price from that indicator to use it later as stoploss.

I am trying to figure out what that index represent, because with it, i am getting several errors, depending how i adjust the code. 
For example "Error CS0115: 'cAlgo.bot.OnBar(int)': no suitable method found to override" or "Error CS0103: The name 'index' does not exist in the current context"

Current simplified code:

using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.FileSystem)]

    public class bot: Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Volume", DefaultValue = 10000)]
        public int volume { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 15, MinValue = 1)]
        public int TakeProfit { get; set; }

        public FractalChaosBands _fractalChaosBands;

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            _fractalChaosBands = Indicators.FractalChaosBands();

                double FL = _fractalChaosBands.Low[index];
                double FH = _fractalChaosBands.High[index];

                if (***)
                {
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, SymbolName, volume, "BOT", FL, TakeProfit, "buy");
                }

                if (***)
                {
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, SymbolName, volume, "BOT", FH, TakeProfit, "sell");
                }            
        }
    }
}
