Enforce Order of Steps / Task / Wait

Bots4Us

Dear cTrader Experts,
Could you please provide a code snippet illustrating how to ensure that specific code sections are executed in a specific order? I played around with Tasks (System.Threading.Tasks, Task.Factory.StartNew and SpecificTask.Wait), but can't figure this out in a way also working properly during (damned fast) optimization. I want to postpone execution of further code until the respective preceding step/task (really) is completed and this for each "Pass" in an optimization. Thx.

Hi,

You need to use Parallel Programming Tasks which are asynchronous operations, there are many examples on the internet that will help you, there is no single example for you because it all depends on how you will use it.

Below are a few code examples.

Once you understand how to use tasks and the basics of parallel programming you can apply this to your automated trading systems.
