Okay, it looks like only data series can be output. If creating a new one basing on the up/down conditon is not the solution, I would consider it a buggy situation.
Okay, thanks for informing.

Shouldn't it be:
Print("LatestHAClose:", _heikenAshi.haClose.Last(1)); Print("LatestHAOpen:", _heikenAshi.haOpen.Last(1));instead of:
Print("LatestHAClose:", _heikenAshi.haClose[1]); Print("LatestHAOpen:", _heikenAshi.haOpen[1]);
Hmm. No, it doesn't work that way, but it doesn't matter anymore. I noticed I can probably get approx. the same results using the (standard issue) Accumulative Swing Index -indicator, and watching the correlating levels, concerning HeikenAshiSmooth-indicator turning either red or blue. About
There were other posts about the problem I had (finding the right output) but they did not get them working. Other similar was with Super Trend indicator.
The indicator's drawn line is also not the same in real time, as it is looking backwards in the chart, because mathematical functions are applied later on, so it's tricky. It "lies", so to speak.
PS: Keep pushing on!

Does anybody know of a elliott wave predictor indicator, that automatically or semi-automatically draws the estimated price action target to the chart?
OR a indicator that scales the elliott waves into the future? It's easy to do manually, but I'd like to see an indicator that does that :)
I found a russian one for MT4, but 2calgo can't convert it.

RE:
I tried making a robot of this indicator that opens buys when "TimeToBuy" = true and sells when "TimeToBuy = false, and closes the other trade when the it reverses.
There is a problem in OnStart, "parameters count", when invoking the indicator. I'm not sure how and which of the parameters should be included. Of course the finished bot shouldn't have any stop loss or take profit, but they are here now (even duplicated), on this test code of the robot (below the indicator). If anyone has spare time, I guess this might be worth while to look into... Also please post a reply, if you can fix it...

Hey, what indicator is it? Maybe it would be worth converting it properly instead of using automated conversion.
Hey.
It's called "Slope Direction Line". It draws a single line, which has two colors to announce the trend.

Maybe you are looking for the Minimum of Position.GrossProfit?
Croucrou, yes that would do it.
How to get the position, with the minimum GrossProfit?
Should either of these be used first?:
1. foreach (var Position in Positions)
2. Position[] positions = Positions.FindAll(Label, Symbol);
THANKS!

Current method. Open 1 lots pay $2 commission, say. Close 1 lot. Open 2 lots pay $4 commission. Total $6
Suggested method. Open 1 lot pay $2 commission. Open another 1 lot, pay $2 commission. Total $4.
Usually the commission is relative to the volume, so making more trades would not matter. I've heard some brokers have a fixed commission, which stays the same regardless of the volume.
When I started studying these robots, I read somewhere that in my case I have a commission on 90/million. So in testing robots, I set the commission to 45, because it also read that's how it should be done. (Can anyone clarify if I'm wrong with this?)
PS: Actually now I think its better to learn to trade manually. And if it works, code it later... Managing takeprofit and stop loss feels too difficult by just coding, because of many factors which influence the high and lows, like support lines, even from weeks ago, round numbers etc.

hi.
i just updated my cAlgo.. but it can't connect to network..i check my internet connection all running normal for browsing etc. any body same story with me?
Me too. Have the same problem? Anyone got this sorted out? if yes, how?
I cannot connect too. There were different errors. A totally new one also. "Error connecting to CTID". Usually the platform connects automatically, at least when the market data is streaming: monday to friday. There seems to be more login problems on weekends. Or my account may be connected with my ID (top right corner), but the demo-accounts can't connect (top left corner). Then I also can't optimize or backtest. The buttons are grayed out. There has been loss of connection to demo account even on normal weekdays, when I have a bot running. But I suppose also that my automatic antivirus- and antispyware-updates (spybot-sd) may cause connection loss sometimes. Sometimes restarting Calgo solves the problem. Now it doesn't....
Now it works. Automatic login with ID and demo-account!

Dear Trader,
Could you please provide us with more information regarding your issue and provide us with a reason why you believe the tick data you receive from the server during optimization is not accurate?
I cannot exactly say that the data would be "faulty" and I'm not claiming that, but there seems to be some very special market/price conditions on a 2 month period in 2015, that give enormously different type of test result than any other period in the past 2 years. I believe it's already explained in the other thread: "Bad tick data ?"

So what ilpoj,
if there was no need to wonder.
Better earn 10 000$ than 2 000$ (doing nothing and not guarding anything).
You're wasting your time like I used to. If you set positions only on levels of 500 pips (you've got to think very rarely - especially eurusd, a currency for slowpoke )
In this week only 3 days i earn only 2 500$ on 1 lot.
Have a nice day.
Thanks for your tip Mindbreaker!
That sounds good but what if it goes the opposite direction? What do you mean you don't have to worry about it?
PS: By the way I got an insight today on how to smooth the "ride" and made an overhaul on the system and am now testing new code.I'll post later in this thread, how it goes... Looks promising!
Good luck in your trades, and have a nice day!

Well the commission is about 100€ actually. I need to have a bot that makes profit from the fluctuation of the market, because it changes all the time. Holding 1 position for ever doesn't get you anywhere and it's difficult to decide when to close it, no matter if it's positive or negative :P

It was actually a strange glitch. Even though the balance-line was straight for 3 years and 70k trades, 98% of those trades were made on june-july 2015. Can't understand why that is, and why that performance isn't transferable to time outside that period. Oh well.

Dear Trader,
Please have a look at the following thread: /forum/calgo-support/7314?page=1#6
Thanks for the answer, but changing the timezone +/- 5 hours doesn't change anything in this case. I tested that.
My bot uses simply MA as indicator to place trades, and also a little bit of martingaling.
Shouldn't the backtesting results with "tickdata" and "m1 bars from server (open prices)" be somewhat similar? In this case the backtest results are totally opposite...
Can you please clarify on this?

About Senkou A & B
Hi!
I often use the Crosshair tool to check indicator lines and stuff. It has a vertical and horizontal line. If you plan on using ichimoku in your bot, you should also consider, that the Kumo (the Cloud from senkou A&B) is drawn late (26 periods on default, I think) in the chart. That means that if you want to see, for example, if the price is above the Cloud at a certain point in time, you need to check the Senkou A & B from 26 periods past, not their last value.
