Welcome to the jumpycalm-cBot-Grid-V3 wiki!

The cBot is very self explanatory, therefore, I will not talk about how to use this cBot in this wiki. This wiki page will show the change logs as well as future plans.

20190416 (Version 3.0) This is the first version, code is based on the code written by Candeias (Version 2). Some changes below:

  1. Code was cleaned up and code was modified to work on cTrader 3.5. The code is not backwards compatible with older version of cTrader;
  2. Open buy and open sell Boolean was replaced with maximum open buy and sell number. For example, if you predict future is bullish market, set Maximum open sell position to 0;
  3. The long-awaited stop loss was added. However, setting up stop loss is not recommended. If you don't need to enable stop loss, set stop loss to a very large number;
  4. Setup parameters were grouped, new feature for cTrader 3.5
  5. Added close all trade on stop flag to easy back test and forward test cBot. Currently, cTrader backtester does not show equity with open position when cBot stopped. So, this feature is crucial for accurate back test.
  6. cTrader does not handle order take profit well, so, instead of setting a take profit value, this version will check open position on each tick and will execute close order then condition met.
  7. I only back tested with this cBot, so, the chart drawing function was not tested. Chart drawing code was the original code from version 2.
