This is an example of a workaround to modifying a pending order's target price.
To be used as a guideline to build your own Robot. 

Input Parameters:

• Order Label or ID: enter either the order Label or the order ID
• Target Price: The new price to set for the order

OnStart:

1. If the order is found, a new order is created which has the same attributes as the old, except the target price is set to the new price input. Otherwise, a message is printed that the order was not found.
2. The old pending order is deleted.

OnTick: The robot stops if the pending order field is null (The order has been successfully deleted or not found).

//
//    This is an example of a workaround to modifying a pending order's target price given the Order Label or ID provided in the input parameters.
//    The pending order is deleted and a new order is created with the new target price.

We understand the need to set those levels freely. We are considering adding this for upcoming versions of cTrader.

We are working on tick charts and more tabs. As far as the rest of the suggestions, we will evaluate them and consider them for implementation in the future.

 Support,

Thank you for the reply. This one works perfect.

Just one more question (or request), what if I want to set up different amount for the profit side and stop loss side?

I simply added one more if phrase....if (NetProfit <= -200) but didn't work.

Please help me.

 if ( netProfit >= 300.0) || netProfit <= -200 )

You can use a try...catch block to catch the exception.

Please look in to the calculation of the break even function. most of the time when it hit the break even i have loose money due to miscalculation. I have set my break even after 10pips.

thanks 

Please send us an email providing some information about the platform and account type you use (e.g. Spotware cAlgo, demo), the commissions and more details regarding the transaction to engage@spotware.com so that we can investigate this.

You may switch "Auto Formatting" off from the Preferences in the top menu.  Please send us the code or the code snippet to engage@spotware.com, or describe it a little further so that we can fix this.

We've made a change: cAlgo will no longer restore samples, so one can remove them permanently.

cAlgo_Fanatic

The sample robots and indicators are part of the API and cannot be removed permanently. We are planning to separate samples in a different tab in the future.

We do not have belkhayate in the platform for the time being, you can use a custom indicator instead. The indicator [Belkhayate Polynomial Regression]  has been uploaded by another user, it could be the one you are looking for. Custom indicators can be loaded from cTrader just as easily as build in indicators.

You can use MarketDepth and the related methods/properties. See /api/marketdepth, /api/marketdepthentry

When the number circled in red, which is equal to the net profit minus the commission (23.16 -15 =11.16) will be greater than 300 or less than -300, then the position will close.

protected override void OnTick()
{
    var netProfit = 0.0;
    foreach (var openedPosition in Account.Positions)
    {
        netProfit += openedPosition.NetProfit + openedPosition.Commissions;
    }
    ChartObjects.DrawText("a", netProfit.ToString(), StaticPosition.BottomLeft);
    if (Math.Abs(netProfit) >= 300.0)
    {
        foreach (var openedPosition in Account.Positions)
        {
            Trade.Close(openedPosition);
        }
    }

Can you please elaborate? Is this an indicator you are referring to?

Most probably your mouse moves down to menu items and the editor looses focus. Keep the mouse above the menu for example. Let us know if this persists.
We will improve this functionality in the future releases.

Could You, please, clarify if my broker is Roboforex it means that I'm sending a pending order to them, they are sending my order to Spotware, where the order stored until criteria met?

Your order is sent directly to cTrader server, it is stored there. Then the server sends it to the liquidity provider.
