Lots and Volume to trade
The Lots and Volume to trade 1.0 cbot does the conversation you are after. There is no ready set method or function that does it all. In the API reference you can find ways to program what you are after. Give a link here where you can get some information needed. /api/reference/internals/iaccount
Download and information link: Lots and Volume to Trade 1.0

Shortcuts needed!
Filip,
this issue with shortcuts and keyboard trading is really important for the Spotware team to solve. Every serious platform has it as a standard. I have had a few post posted on this but so far nothing has happened in that regard. Here is one post: /forum/suggestions/805. For the moderator to suggest to vote on such a basic need for the trader is not the way to go. It should be a standard feature in the platform.

Hi Neptune,
you need to check that the subfolders to the cbot, that it has the same name as the cbot itself. If for some reason it has changed you need to rename the subfolder.
Give you an example here.
Market Order 1.0.algo (encrypted)
Market Order 1.0 (subfolder)
It's a bummer if after your hard work you have lost the subfolder. Without it you can't edit the cbot.

Market Order 1.0
The Market Order cBot will open a market order when stopped.
Market Order cBot is free to download! It can be run on both live and demo accounts without restrictions.
Download and information link: Market Order 1.0
Supports all currency pairs. There are a few parameters that needs to be filled in by the trader. Color coded to give the extra security if the setup is a buy or a sell order. The order that will be placed can have a label and an comment assigned to it.
When the cBot is started it will give all the information of the the parameters setup and the preparation taken. To place a market order according to the criteria made in the setup, the cBot needs to be made "Active" by selecting Yes.

triple,
the way I understand it is that the commission is not a fact for an order, it becomes a fact after the order is closed. What you can do is to looked at the API, History and retrieve the last commision paid for the pair. Of course then, if there is no previous close on the pair it will not be retrievable.

rkokerti,
I personally never had this problem with cAlgo. One suggestion is that before downloading a new version of cAlgo is to go through a VPN and downloading it and reinstalling before exiting the VPN, it can have something to do with your ISP. You can then restart cAlgo while you are connected to the VPN, if it works fine then and not when you exit the VPN then it has something to do with your ISP. It's a long shot but worth trying.

baldric,
I know what you are after, maybe you would like to set the SL and TP above or below resistances levels by price. That would be very good if Spotware could incorporate it in the order window.
In the meantime you could use Lots and Volume to trade 1.0 cBot. The stop loss can then be calculated either by percentage or amount at risk. Target unfortunately is not available as an option at the time being in the cBot.
Here is a link if you feel like trying it out, it's free to download and use. Lots and Volume to trade 1.0

Method coding a chart shot
A Method would be great to be able to take a chart shot. A chart shot in the cBot code when we want it, would be very informative in analyzing trades. Also as a security backup of the trade when we are in doubt what really happened with the trade. Good suggestion by MaVe.

To be linked up to myfxbook.com via cTrader can be tricky but one's you get the hang of it, it's really simple!
Highly recommended if you are interested in risk & money management. It works perfectly in conjunction with cTrader and cAlgo.

onlinetoriches,
I understand the problem running several cTrader's on a VPS at the same time. It takes too much of resources especially from the RAM memory used. To run cTrader without problems it will take 1GB RAM on the VPS. Running 3 cTrader's as in your case we are talking about 2.5-3GB RAM needed. RAM memory is very expensive on a VPS and of course it would be nice to be able to use just one instance of cTrader and several accounts opened at the same time.
Also to be in control of several accounts and maybe different brokers too can be confusing and hard to have a good oversight of all the accounts. Have a look at this thread where you can download Broker 1.0 cBot which can easily be run on all the accounts to give a better control of all the different trading accounts.

Information about slippage
nealkaplan,
The Bought and Sold cBot gives very good information if there is slippage when the order is filled, and also when the target or stop loss are hit.
To give an example, let's say the stop loss is 20 pips and the target is 40 pips. The cBot will show exactly where you were stopped out in pips and in price. Very easy to figure out then if you get excessive slippage from the broker by observing the information coming up on the screen. Also the entry of a limit or stop order is fully displayed when the position is closed. By paying attention to the order price and to what price the order is filled at and also to the closing price one will get a correct reading on the slippage in pips and in amount.
In case you have not already downloaded the cBot, here is the link and the information page: Bought and Sold cBot

The Bought and Sold cBot will give that kind of information. Also of interest are if there is any excessive slippage when executed.
Download Bought and Sold cBot and try it out, it's free to use!

Font, sizes and a 4K fix
To present several accurate font and sizes in cBot creations for high resolution monitors, one major update is required in ChartObjects.DrawText.
Hope this will be coming soon as the new year is around the corner. Also the fix needed to run 4K without problems would be most welcome.

Wish list for 2016
My shortcut key wishlist for the new year of 2016!
1. Buy a long position, market, limit or stop order, linked to the instrument selected.
2. Buy a short position, market, limit or stop order, linked to the instrument selected.
3. Close all positions immediately regardless of long, short, profit, loss or instrument.
It's only a few and they would make trading so much easier with cTrader and cAlgo using shortcuts.

Hi John,
have a look at this cBot and try it out to get an estimate of the profit per pips. Traders Aid 1.0 cBot
To code in cAlgo and to get all the information out of the cAlgo API there is a learning curve and a lot of trial and error until it works to one's satisfaction. Also there are many hints in different threads on the forum from excellent programmers sharing their views and coding snippets. The API documentation is however a good source to get the basics needed and by reading the threads on the forum and by testing the suggested code snippets out, is the way to go. Spotware hopefully will make a really good upgraded to the instruction manual for the API and we all are waiting for it, it's overdue and it's needed to be released soon.

marc_sischka,
No it can't be added to another cBot as it is run externally. The main question was, is it possible to program within cAlgo to achieve what you are after, the answer to that question is yes.
By reading up on the API documentation and learning how the cAlgo language works it will not be that hard for you to include the right code into your cBot. Also there are many excellent programmers on this forum giving snippet codes on different threads on the subject.
