cAlgo coding help

Does anyone where code in cAlgo? I have a small project that I have developed for extrapolating volume delta using available tick volume. I would like to study it further but do not know how to code. I have worked out the math formulas in Excel. Can anyone help out. I am willing to pay a reasonable fee for compensation.

Why do you want to do it in cAlgo? For using cTrader to test trading / live trading or just to evaluate some data? I am asking to point out if it would be possible to use other apps too.

I use cTrader and consider it far superior to the ubiquitous Metatrader. However if you only code for Metatrader I would accept that and then find a way to Port the code over to c#. Can you help?

I need help in cAlgo coding as well, if anyone is kind enough to code a poosition size calculator indicator that shows %risk to trade but only calculating the percentage of equity or balance and multiplying it to the accounts leverage. This is for quick trading that when I need to enter a trade I want to risk a certain percentage of my account equity in a glance

sample:
============================
Equity: (shows accounts current equity)
Balance: (Shows accounts current balance)
Leverage: (accounts leverage, that will be specified in the parameters)
%risk to trade: (shows volume to trade base on ((equity/balance x %risk) x leverage) ) *not including SL or TP value
============================

or if someone can code this as mt4 indicator as well

Hi Don,
MT4 is not bad but has its limitations. I mainly code in Java and C++. If you like we can discuss your project via Skype.
Greetings!

I used to use mt4 almost exclusively but then I discovered volume and order flow...now mt4's limitations are exactly why I moved on to TradeStation (futures) and cTrader. I might be able to use mt5 but will need to review it to see if the volume feed is the same as mt4...if so I would really prefer cAlgo. Can you do that?

Edit: I just saw another indicator coded for mt4 that I am exploring...can you port it for mt5?

Hi Don,

I am able to do that. I am coding my trading systems from scratch using no platform at all. cAlgo is something based on C I guess that should be able to handle. I would like to discuss it first and then start to work. I am developing trading systems full time and letting them run beside to make my living. When I have time to pick up new projects or ideas I am happy to do so. But it is always good to look at them from different point of views before jumping into it. That saves time. So again, if you would like to, send me a pm and lets go over it via Skype for further details.

Many greetings!

Thank you JT4xPro...

I have found someone who will code the project for me in cAlgo that has experience. Of course I am paying him to do so but his fee is reasonable. Thank you again for offering to help.

All the best
