@Risk on all open positions:  22 Jan 2014, 17:39

Isn't that the sum of all positions net profit?

Hi,

I'm just after to print the amount at risk based on all opened positions.  So counting total volume, stop loss and pip value on all opened positions might do the trick.

Any suggestion for a code to achieve this?

Thanks..

@How do I close my position?:  16 Jan 2014, 12:58

I think with QuickTrade disabled you can only right click on the position and close

@Closed by robot or manually:  30 Dec 2013, 12:51

OnPositionsClosed will be triggered before PositionClosedByRobot and the result will be that flag_robot_close will not serve the intended purpose.

Try setting the flag_robot_close to true before calling  ClosePositionAsync.

            if (myPosition != null && breakeven_flag && distance_1)
            {
                flag_robot_close = true;
                ClosePositionAsync(myPosition, PositionClosedByRobot);                
            }

@Indicators Timing or Kwan for cTrader?:  02 Dec 2013, 15:36

Why not upload this to the indicators?

@Tick volume:  28 Nov 2013, 17:24

Tick volume is number of trades.

@equivalent indicator command in cAlgo (MT4 istochastic):  28 Nov 2013, 17:15

main is the percentK (green line) and signal is the percentD (red line).
 

        StochasticOscillator stochOsc;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            stochOsc = Indicators.StochasticOscillator(9, 3, 9, MovingAverageType.Simple);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            if (stochOsc.PercentK.LastValue > stochOsc.PercentD.LastValue)
            {
                //

Debugging a robot in Visual Studio is possible. But you should compile the robot to a .dll file with Visual Studio. Then you should reference the generated .dll in cAlgo and after executing the robot in cAlgo you should attach VS debugger.

Hi Hichem,

Thanks for the useful tip. I create a robot that is derived from the class of the referenced dll, I manage to debug by calling base.OnStart and base.OnTick but I am using indicators for the calculations and their values are always zero. 

More specifically, I am trying to debug Artificial Intelligence robot found here: /algos/robots/show/46

So this is the code of the robot that is referencing Artificial Intelligence:
 

//#reference: ..\..\..\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\AI\AI\bin\Debug\AI.dll

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//    /algos/robots/show/46
//
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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


namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
    public class AI : ArtificialIntelligence
    {
        private MacdHistogram macd;
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Put your initialization logic here
            macd = Indicators.MacdHistogram(21, 20, 3);
            base.OnStart();
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Put your core logic here
            Print(macd.Histogram.LastValue);
            base.OnTick();

        }       
    }
}

I made the macd public in the base class and initialized it in the derived class and now I have values for it. I don't know if this is a good way to do this.

    public class AI : ArtificialIntelligence
    {
        private MacdHistogram mcd;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            mcd = Indicators.MacdHistogram(21, 20, 3);
            base.macd = mcd;

        }
