RE:
Hi,
When I tried renaming it, I get the error:
A reference to C:\Users\myPc\Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Indicators\AdaptiveCG.dll could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.
Sorry, I'm new to C# programming.
Thanks for the help.
dont just rename the algo file. you should first extract its content.

Hello,
One of the great problems when developing a serious robot is handling failed requests and server connectivity issues. cAlgo doesn't provide great tools when it comes to that.
Please consider providing more facilities to handling asynchrounous failed requests. For example adding an eventArg that contains the failed request in the OnError method.
Thanks

For now the .algo file is just a zip file containing an assembly file.
Contact me in private for a solution to totally protect your Robot code.

RE:
You can use Labels for this. Use the OnTick event to check for the positions with the label set when the order was created. Please see the examples here.
That solve how to retrieve the previously created pendingOrders (by label). If those PendingOrders get opened, when their PriceLevel hit, the OnPositionOpened dosn't get called. How to know if a pending order has been opened ?

RE:
Take profit has to be above the entry price for a buy order and below the entry price for a sell order.
In this case I should be getting the Technical errors due to another reason than the validity of the condition you mentioned.
Because right after I recieve a technical error when trying to set a TP on a position (with a valid TP values according to your last post), I retry again with the same values and it passes with no technical errors.
Do you have an idea why is that ?
@hichem

RE:
Technical errors are due to invalid values. Therefore, most probably the Take Profit you are setting cannot be applied to all open orders. You would have to modify the code to calculate the value for take profit instead of assigning the same value to all.
What are the possible invalid values of the Take profit ? apart from the entry price

RE:
I am in the process of finding the best possible automated platform that covers my needs. By using cAlgo, is there any way to debug robots by using Visual Studio? I have made many trials using Visual Studio and trying to attach the debugger to calgo process with no luck.
Debugging a robot in Visual Studio is possible. But you should compile the robot to a .dll file with Visual Studio. Then you should reference the generated .dll in cAlgo and after executing the robot in cAlgo you should attach VS debugger.

RE:
log errors do not fit in one line on the log tab, where is the actual log file located?
Here is how to copy the Print() output to a text log file
First include System.IO
using System.IO;
Then decalre :
StreamWriter FileWriter ;
Then override the Print Method like this
protected new void Print(object value)
{
if(FileWriter == null)
{
var desktopFolder = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory);//getting location of user's Desktop folder
var filePath = Path.Combine(desktopFolder, "log.txt");
FileWriter = File.AppendText(filePath);
FileWriter.AutoFlush = true;
}
FileWriter.WriteLine(value);
base.Print(value);
}
then clean in OnStop
protected override void OnStop()
{
FileWriter.Close();
}

RE:
Hello Guys,
I have developed a system on cAlgo that i would now like to sell to other people. But what i do not want is for them to get their hands on the code. Is there a way to encapsulate/hide or secure the actual .cs file? I mnow there can be workarounds for this but does cTrader provide direct security feature which can be used?
Hoping to get some positive feedback.
Thanks.
Master
Hello,
Actually the .algo file is not protected against reverse engineering or decompiling. the most efficient way to protect your system would be to isolate the source code in a .dll, obfuscate it, and then make a robot .cs file that calls the code inside the .dll file

Hi
Would be great to be able to connect to myfxbook for stats or something similar. Anything on the cards?
Thanks
You can create a c# class to parse XML or JSON data coming from myfxbook : http://www.myfxbook.com/api
Then call that class from withing a robot.

RE:
To find the 5% of the Account balance it is Account.Balance * 0.05.
One lot is 100000, so to trade one lot you will set the volume to 100000.
Makes sense but : Account.Balance * 0.05 is 5% of the balance. What is the volume of a trade that should respect a StopLoss risking 5% of the balance. ?

RE:
Hello,
This gives you the maximum allowed trading volume given the account equity.
It rounds to 10000. So, if the calculation result is 4936423 it would round it to 4930000.
Please clarify what you mean by the "equivalent volume for a lot size = 5"
If I want to risk only 5% of my balance, then the volume of my position would be calculated as 4930000 * 0.05 ?
For my second question I wanted to find an equivalent to lot sizes as in Metatrader. In cAlgo What is the difference between lot sizes and volumes?
Thnks for the great support.
