mindfulness Forum Activity | cTrader Community

Thats why I tried to place the variable behind the timeframe variable to combine them. Maybe without any sense as you said. Didn‘t found any example to place a formula like this in timeframes. Only already existing indicators, which can be referenced like this. Like Ichimoku for example.

thanks for any help so far.

What I mean is that the code does not make sense and the error message is clear regarding what the problem is. The property does not exist. So my guess was that the code was copied from somewhere and its out of context.

Instead of asking us to fix a non sensical code which we don't understand what is supposed to do, maybe it's better to tell us what are you trying to achieve and ask for a small example.

RE:

No, i haven´t copied them from somewhere. I only try to undersdtand how to do it. I am no a programmer, so i need to look to a similiar solution to get things working. That´s why i asked here. The error message didn´t point me to my error or things i have to change. And yes i try to learn by coping frames and testing them in my scripts. Isn´t this the way lot´s of people around here started?
I tried to get the data from the timeframe and combine them with the code of kyushu ashi. Sorry, if this is not that clear to me.

Hi Alex,

I think the messages in the log are more than clear. I am not sure what you are trying to do with the code or what you think its doing. But lines of code like this make no sense
            var kyushu_d_bullish = kyushu_d.kyushu_bullish;
            var kyushu_h4_bullish = kyushu_h4.kyushu_bullish;
            var kyushu_h1_bullish = kyushu_h1.kyushu_bullish;
            var kyushu_m30_bullish = kyushu_m30.kyushu_bullish;
Did you copy this from somewhere?

If you mean a parameter, then use the DefaultValue

Thanks, but that´s maybe not the one. I mean when i add pait to the bot, it has per default H1 as a timeframe. I want to have M5 as default. Is this possible?

Hello,

i am using a bot with a fixed SL, which opens two positions at a time. There is not trailing, move to BE, no partial profit, etc. Please have a look at this trades. Can you tell me why this happens?

Both positions have been opened at the same time as expected. Only the second trade runs nearly three days more then the first one. Both have the same SL when opened at the same time

One additional information ... i have just seen, that this behaviour is perhaps always on different pairs. But only on the last trade. The earlier trades differ only by 5 Minutes.

Hi mindfulness,

That's expected because TradingView does not really backtest. It just post processes information by connectiing dots on prepopulated charts. So many times the results are way off.

Just give it a try, but makes no difference. Not sure, but i think it´s a mistake regarding converting the "len" from the former script to C# Calgo.

Well it really should make a difference in the logical query.
I suggest you try to use the debugger to se your code working. You can download a free, community edition, of Visual Studio and get going :)

Cheers

This is the correct syntax:
var kyushu_bullish = ((kyushu_d_bullish || kyushu_h4_bullish) && (kyushu_h1_bullish && kyushu_m30_bullish && kyushu_m15_bullish && kyushu_m5_bullish));

Thanks for the answer. I have already made the above mentioned changes amde. still no difference. And i am already working with Visual Studio. VA has not thrown an error when using only one "&". Using version 2019, maybe this is in 2022 different.

This one can be closed. Very poor failure on my side. The ">" and "<" were wrong sided. ;)

Also tried this one. Now without error messages, but just ignored when executing.

if ((DateTime.Now.Hour >= 07) & (DateTime.Now.Hour <= 17));

Can be closed, got it working:

if (Server.Time.TimeOfDay >= tradingStarts && Server.Time.TimeOfDay < tradingStops)

I have tried it now with this, but was not succesfull. The error messages: (sorry in german)

       if (Server.Time.TimeOfDay > TimeSpan.ParseExact("07:00")) & (Server.Time.TimeOfDay < TimeSpan.ParseExact("17:00"));
        {
                if (bullish)
                {
                    if (!IsPositionOpenByType(TradeType.Buy))
                    {
                        OpenPosition(TradeType.Buy);
                    }
                }

                if (exit_bullish)
                {
                    ClosePosition(TradeType.Buy);
                }

                if (bearish)
                {
                    if (!IsPositionOpenByType(TradeType.Sell))
                    {
                        OpenPosition(TradeType.Sell);
                    }
                }

                if (exit_bearish)
                {
                    ClosePosition(TradeType.Sell);
                }
            }
        }

How about this?

            var ichimoku = Indicators.IchimokuKinkoHyo(9,26,52);
            var b =  ichimoku.SenkouSpanA.Last(0) > ichimoku.SenkouSpanB.Last(0);
            var ichimokuDaily = Indicators.IchimokuKinkoHyo(MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Daily),9,26,52);
            var c = ichimokuDaily.SenkouSpanA.Last(0) > ichimokuDaily.SenkouSpanB.Last(0);
            var a = c && b;

Hi mindfullness,

Here you go
 var B = ichimoku.SenkouSpanA.Last(0) > ichimoku.SenkouSpanB.Last(0);

Maybe not easy to explain. I will try it again:

1. This bot will run in M5 timeframe
2. I have to check within the bot, if var A is true in timeframe daily. So maybe a combination of your explaination regarding using Ichimoku and timeframe and using in M5 is needed. ?
3. I need to check two conditions in the bot:
a) is var A true in daily timeframe

b) is var B true in M5 timeframe
4. If both true , then execute the trade.

Sorry for the missunderstandings.

Hi Alex,

I am not sure what are you trying to do. Do you want to compare two ichimoku indicators from two different timeframes?

Hi Panagiotis,

I want to use the bot in the M5. Now i need to check the higher and middle TF if there is a condition true. So for example:

The value of var A is true, when:

1. var B in daily is true (var B = senkouSpanA.Last(0) > senkouSpanB.Last(0)

In JSON fiormat like mentioned above it looks like this:
ichi_d_bullish = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, 'D', ichi_bullish, lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)

ichi_d_bullish would var A and ichi_bullish var B in the example

Hope that makes it more clear and understandable.

Thanks

Alex

Hi Alex,

Here is how you can initialize an Ichimoku indicator using a different timeframe
 var ichimoku = Indicators.IchimokuKinkoHyo(MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Minute2),9,26,52);

Hi Panagiotis,

thanks for the fast reply. Sorry if i have to ask another question. ;)

How can i combine a condition together with the timeframe variable above, like:

var A = B & C

where C is the var Ichimoku you mentioned.and is only checked in that timeframe.

thanks Alex

Hello,

i am new to calgo cbot writing. Made my first bot almost complete, but stuck on the multitimeframe support.

In Tradingview JSON i am using the following:

ichi_m30_bullish = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, '30', ichi_bullish, lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)
ichi_m30_bearish = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, '30', ichi_bearish, lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)

ichi_h1_bullish = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, '60', ichi_bullish, lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)
ichi_h1_bearish = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, '60', ichi_bearish, lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)

ichi_h4_bullish = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, '240', ichi_bullish, lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)
ichi_h4_bearish = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, '240', ichi_bearish, lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)

ichi_d_bullish = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, 'D', ichi_bullish, lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)
ichi_d_bearish = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, 'D', ichi_bearish, lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)

That´s all needed to use the variable to request the timeframe.I have already looked in the new annoncement thread regarding multitimeframe, but don´t understand it completely how to use it for Ichimoku in the definitions and declarations. The definitions for Ichimoku are already made and working. Now i need only the request for example if this "var ssa_bullish = (ssa.LastValue > ssa.LastValue);" is true in a different timeframe, when executing on M5.

Thanks in advanced

Alex

I have just found this on cTDN Forum - Multi time frame Ichimoku indicator (ctrader.com), but because it is 9 years old, there are some outdated things in it. Would be good if can get help on it.

thanks

Alex
