@Swing high code:  02 Sep 2021, 22:48

Hi,

Anyone that can help me code the following:

I want to store the last two swing highs and compare it to each other. A swing high is defined as a 3 bar high. For example if the candle high is higher than the previous three bar highs and higher than the next bar's high then it is regarded as a swing high. What I want is two have the last two swing high to compare them to each other to see if the last swing high is higher or lower than the previous one.

Below is a screen shot of the last two swing highs as defined above:

Hi Nick,

You have two options

1) Hard code the expiration date in the cBot's code and exit the cBot in case the expiration date has passed.

2) Implement a licensing system that will control the trial period of your cBot.

See an example for point 1 below

            var dateTime = new DateTime(2021, 9, 30);
            if (Server.Time > dateTime)
                return;

Thanks for the quick response.

I quickly were bale to implement the hardcoded style, however do you have any direction on how to go about implementing the licensing system?

Hi,

Can anyone assist in helping how a trial version of a cBot can be created, that expires after 1 month's of use for example?

@Custom Indicator call error:  09 Aug 2021, 17:02

Hi,

I m trying to use 2 EMAs from a custom multi timeframe indicators. I get an error when I call the indicator in my cBot.

This is the indicator code:

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Indicators
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
    public class MyMTFEMA : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 8)]
        public int EMAPeriods1 { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 21)]
        public int EMAPeriods2 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("EMA Timeframe1", DefaultValue = "Hour")]
        public TimeFrame EMATimeframe1 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("EMA Timeframe2", DefaultValue = "Hour")]
        public TimeFrame EMATimeframe2 { get; set; }

        [Output("EMA1", Color = Colors.Blue)]
        public IndicatorDataSeries EMA1 { get; set; }

        [Output("EMA2", Color = Colors.Red)]
        public IndicatorDataSeries EMA2 { get; set; }

        private MarketSeries series1;
        private MarketSeries series2;

        private ExponentialMovingAverage Ema1;
        private ExponentialMovingAverage Ema2;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            series1 = MarketData.GetSeries(EMATimeframe1);
            series2 = MarketData.GetSeries(EMATimeframe2);

            Ema1 = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(series1.Close, EMAPeriods1);
            Ema2 = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(series2.Close, EMAPeriods2);

        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {

            var index1 = GetIndexByDate(series1, MarketSeries.OpenTime[index]);
            if (index1 != -1)
            {
                EMA1[index] = Ema1.Result[index1];
            }

            var index2 = GetIndexByDate(series2, MarketSeries.OpenTime[index]);
            if (index2 != -1)
            {
                EMA2[index] = Ema2.Result[index2];
            }

        }


        private int GetIndexByDate(MarketSeries series, DateTime time)
        {
            for (int i = series.Close.Count - 1; i > 0; i--)
            {
                if (time == series.OpenTime[i])
                    return i;
            }
            return -1;
        }
    }
}

The I call it like this:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class SIMPLEandPROFITABLEForexScalping : Robot
    {
        [Parameter("Risk %", DefaultValue = 0.02)]
        public double RiskPct { get; set; }

        [Parameter("EMA1 period", DefaultValue = 8)]
        public int EMA1Period { get; set; }

        [Parameter("EMA2 period", DefaultValue = 13)]
        public int EMA2Period { get; set; }

        [Parameter("EMA3 period", DefaultValue = 21)]
        public int EMA3Period { get; set; }

        private MovingAverage EMA1;
        private MovingAverage EMA2;
        private MovingAverage EMA3;
        private MyMTFEMA MTFEMA;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Put your initialization logic here
            EMA1 = Indicators.MovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, EMA1Period, MovingAverageType.Exponential);
            EMA2 = Indicators.MovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, EMA2Period, MovingAverageType.Exponential);
            EMA3 = Indicators.MovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, EMA3Period, MovingAverageType.Exponential);
            MTFEMA = Indicators.GetIndicator<MyMTFEMA>(8, 21, "Hour", "Hour");
            
        }

However I get an error when trying to run the cBot with this message:

31/12/2019 02:00:00.000 | Backtesting started
31/12/2019 02:00:00.000 | Crashed in OnStart with AlgoActivationException: Can not set "Hour" as a value for "EMATimeframe1" parameter
31/12/2019 02:00:00.000 | Backtesting was stopped

I have tried various ways to change the way I call the parameters using the 8, 21 and two "Hour" options but still get an error.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
