USA brokers
A major broker in the USA did offer cAlgo and cTrader but have discontinued their services of the platform. The reason for this might be, not enough customers for the platform or too wide of a spread in the currency pairs offered, I would think the later. For cAlgo and cTrader to really take off in the USA it has to be legitimate, a good enough price to incorporate for the broker's business model, and of interest to the majorities of the US traders.

Net profit
It all depends on what the net profit is calculatet on. If it includes both the commission and the spread it can become somewhat complicated. Spread has to be calculated on the current spread on the pair, while commission has to be calculated from the history of an earlier trade made on the pair. Then it is possible to get the right net profit before closing a trade.
Market Order 3.0 information shows this in a cBot.

Free cBots
a9mtr,
try the free cBots from RMMRobot.com, they should install correctly to your robot folder under cAlgo and show up as well in cTrader. If not, do what lucian suggested, just copy it and paste the cBot in your robot folder.

True and False
If there are only two choices in the parameter setup you can use the true and false statement. Below is an example.
[Parameter("Indicator 1 = 1, Indicator 2 = 2 ", DefaultValue = true)]
public bool Indicators { get; set; }
Then you have to put the logic in the code.
protected override void OnTick()
{
if (Indicators == true)
ChartObjects.DrawText("Show Indicator 1", "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + , StaticPosition.TopRight, Colors.Green);
if (Indicators == false)
ChartObjects.DrawText("Show Indicator 2", "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + , StaticPosition.TopRight, Colors.Red);
I am using ChartObjects.DrawText but you can use any method.

Break-even
It is possible to solve. The issue is that the API does not really explain how to do it. There are some threads that can help you out though. Search for break even and move the stop loss, and so forth to get some bits of information and then you have to puzzle it all together and test it out by the trial and error method to get it right.
The Market Order 3.0 shows that it can be done, have a look at the information and if you choose you can download and test it on a demo or live account.

Margin percentage
Hi scandisk,
if your broker has set the margin to 80% then it is set. To change this a cBot needs to be running that handles other margin percentages when all positions are sold off when reached.
Visit RMMRobot.com and read about RMMRobot 2.5 it has exactly that as an option in the cBot parameters. Also on the site there are free cBots for downloading that has to do with risk and money management principles.

Running robots 24/7
carlosagc86,
If you need the robots to run 24/7 a VPS is the answer. There are many alternativs to choose from depending on your needs. A VPS located in London is the best choice when it comes to cAlgo and cTrader because most brokers have a direct connection and low latency to the data centers in London.
You can read more about it here: VPS Server

How does the bot work? I'm afraid because it's not on Cbots websites it's linking to some other website.
In any case I don't think this problem can be solved client side. Hoping for a Ctrader reply, or other people who've had this problem.
Just click on the download link and then install it from your download folder. And after installing it all you have to do is start the cbot. Then you see if you really have a position, by stoppen the cbot it will close the position.

Reconnection problems
This is an issue that I have actually never encountered. I have traded from most parts of the world and have not ever experienced connection problems.
The problem might be in the windows version and the cpu you are using and the computer itself. Mostly I would think the problem might be with your internet server provider.

Bridges not a good choice
Bridges are not a good choice. Just too much that can go wrong along the way. Better of course to have the original coding done in c# for cAlgo and cTrader.
Market Order 3.0 has the risk and money principles, it calculate the stop loss and target on pips, percentage or on the amount. In a future version we will include calculating the lots or volume to trade as well.

Under 100ms, perfect!
I hardly ever had under 200ms so anything under 200ms would be great. We are dealing here with a platform for retail traders and brokers are involved who would like to have their cut of the cake so to speak. I would love the executing time to go under 100ms and I think it is possible in the future when Spotware evolve and fine tune the platform. I also agree with you that more transparency is needed from the Spotware team when it comes to the execution time.

Execution time window
moneybiz,
the execution time regardless of which broker is used, lands between 200-300ms. When it comes to the latency to the brokerage server it varies depending on the VPS or the local computer's internet connection speed. From a local computer with a fast internet around 20-30ms is very good. The algorithm running on a VPS then as you know we are talking about 1-2ms latency however that will not affect the execution time when the order, target or stop loss are hit, it is stable between 200-300ms. This is a in my opinion a window that the broker needs to be able to operate and maybe hedge the incoming orders. Hopefully this window in ms will be decreased in time by Spotware as their platform technology improves.

No smart way
It all depends on how accurate the calculation based on a percentage you want. If you like the spread and the commission included as well it gets complicated. The History in the API can be used to get the commission and other information before actually making the order. Unfortunately there is no smart way to calculate as there is no method in the API that does it all. Several pieces has to be glued together from different parts of the API. Best way to accomplish it is to learn the API in and out and by trial and error testing different codes, also a lot of suggestions are given from all the programmers on the forum. The Market Order 3.0 does it all, have a look at it and you get some information what can be done.

USA regulations
Yes lucian I guess she could provide us with some inside information on the subject :)
The problem for the brokers outside the USA is they have to follow US financial broker regulation to sign up traders from the USA. With other words, USA is protecting their own trading territory by limited US citizens to trade on abroad brokers that do not follow their regulations.
