Hi useretinv,

You can use the code below

            if (position.GrossProfit > 0)
            {
                ExecuteOrder(InitialQuantity, GetRandomTradeType());
            }
            else
            {
                if (position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy)
                    ExecuteOrder(position.Quantity * 2, TradeType.Sell);
                else
                    ExecuteOrder(position.Quantity * 2, TradeType.Buy);
            }

Best Regards,

  . Many thanks Mr.Panagiotis 

 .IT WORKS

 PLZ help me to ADD server hours to Martingle sample code , Open and close  cbot Automatically at specified hours

  i tryied to put

( if (Server.Time.Hour >= 7 && Server.Time.Hour < 10 

 ( as you advised in ( https://ctrader.com/forum/cbot-support/13565 

 but it's not working with Sample Martingle Code .plz help

//////////////////////////////////////////

Also i want to Add a simple logic to the code to prevent it opening new positions if the the first position hits the stop loss in the current bar .

 for Example : if the code was working on 30min bar chart , and the first position hits a stop loss. don't open new position at the same bar (30min bar ) i want the cbot to wait 

another 2 or 3 bars latter to open the new position with the  Initial Volume .

/////////////////////////////////////

Also plz i want to add Maximum volume to prevent cbot to doubling position volume with no limit , just add parameter of maximum orders or maximum volume that cbot can use  from Account to open position , after reaching the maximum orders , make cbot start over withthe  Initial Volume  .

ALL IN Martingle Sample code Plz

Many many Thanks in advance, Mr.Panagiotis

Hi useretinv,

Unfortunately I cannot engage in custom development requests. If you want somebody to help you with developing your cBot, you can post a job or hire a professional consultant.

Hi Panagiotis,

What if I want to place an order instead of executing a trade? For example if a buy trade is closed at a take profit target I want to place a sell trade order with the same entry price, trade size and take profit limit in pips as the closed trade and vice versa?

Thank you

Hi tomopeov,

It would look something like this

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            Positions.Closed += Positions_Closed;
        }

        private void Positions_Closed(PositionClosedEventArgs obj)
        {
            if (obj.Reason == PositionCloseReason.TakeProfit)
            {
                if (obj.Position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy)
                {
                   PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, obj.Position.VolumeInUnits, obj.Position.EntryPrice);                 
                }
                else
                {
                    PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, obj.Position.VolumeInUnits, obj.Position.EntryPrice);
                }
            }
        }

Best Regards,

RE:

Hi Panagiotis Charalampous,

Currently, I have this bot that can make a re-entry order when a trade is stopped out.

If I want it to make n+1 re-entry orders plus a reverse order when n trades are stopped out how do I do it?

For example, if I have 2 long 10k eurusd trades at 1.20 with stop loss 20 pips. When the price goes to 1.1980 both trades get stopped out and I want the bot to create 3 long 10k eurusd orders at 1.20 and 1 short 10k eurusd order at 1.20 as well with stop loss at 20 pips each. And vice versa

       protected override void OnStart()
        {
            Positions.Closed += Positions_Closed;
        }

        private void Positions_Closed(PositionClosedEventArgs obj)
        {
            if (obj.Reason == PositionCloseReason.StopLoss)
                PlaceStopLimitOrder(obj.Position.TradeType, Symbol, obj.Position.VolumeInUnits, obj.Position.EntryPrice, stopLimitRangePips, "reEntry", StopLoss, TakeProfit);
        }
    }
}

Best Regards,

Tomo P

Hi Tomo,

This needs some development and I cannot engage into custom development. If you need assistance in developing your cBot, I would suggest you contact a Consultant or post a Job.
