Smart-Grid with News Manager

IlBassa

Hello.
I'm using the smart grid with the news manager but It seems it doesn't work.
I receive the notification and popup from the news manager but it doesn't close the positions and doesn't stop the bots.
I have one instance with the currencies I use in It and I followed the instructions.
Thanks in advance for the help

Can you provide the settings for both your News Manager cBot and the Smart Grid cBot, you can save the settings as a cbotset file and upload them on this forum. The link below has some information to help you do this.

It looks like sometimes works and others doesnt.
for example, I think that this night it didnìt stop AUDUSD but this morning it has stopped EURGBP

Can you tell me the time (GMT) when the news event occurred, can you also provide your MyFxBook CSV file?

Also, a screenshot of all your news events loaded, you can see this in your cBot log of cTrader Automate.

I will also need your Smart-Grid cBot log exported as a text file, the cBot may have stopped trading due to another event.

for AUD was at 00:30 and for the EURGBP was at 08:00

Are you referring to the date below for the news event?

2024, March 27, 01:30?

In your CSV file there is no event on the 27th at 00:30

If you are referring to the date below.

2024, March 26, 00:30 (Australia) Westpac Consumer Confidence Index Medium AUD

The issue is that it is a medium news event, your settings are only for High impact events

IlBassa

Yes I'm referring to it because I'm UTC+1

I thought it was a high impact news because of the high volatility and I thought it loaded only the high news.

So EURGBP was closed right for the high impact new or for other reasons?

Thank you for your help and sorry for the disturb

Sophia

I think you may still have an issue, was it the news event below?

2024, March 27, 01:30 (Australia) Monthly CPI Indicator High AUD

IlBassa

Yes it was this event

Sophia

It looks like cTrader was restarted on the 23rd of March, this may be the issue. There is no log information about any news events, we will investigate.

2024.03.23 00:03:16.924 | cBot "ClickAlgo Smart Grid" process crashed.
2024.03.23 00:03:16.932 | cBot "ClickAlgo News Manager" process crashed.
2024.03.23 08:39:24.237 | cTrader started
2024.03.24 20:07:32.346 | cTrader started

Take a look at your news manager cBot log it should show all the events that happen, you can also set it up to receive messages via email, etc, this will help you test if that works ok. Make sure it was running when the news event happened.

According to your settings, you should have received a popup message from the news manager.

Can you share the cBot log for the news manager as a text file?

IlBassa

Yes I have received the pop-up on the screen.

How do I get the test file?

Yes it was running, I made the news manager start before the grid bot

Sophia

You can export the cBot log for the news manager the same as the smart-grid, once I have this I will get Mike
e to investigate and run some tests.

is this right or is it the same as before? because it opens the same file

Sophia

We need the cBot log instead of the journal, you can get this from the cTrader Automate application under cBot log, try the link below for help, it should be better for you.,

Can you resend both the Smart-Grid and the News Manager cBot logs, the journal misses the cBot operations.

I hope are right

Hello, I have tested the Smart-Grid cBot with an AUD news event and everything seems to be working ok. The vent was for AUD, I just modified the entry in the CSV file.

I would check your local storage folder, and open the AUD-NRM file and it should show true just before a news event and false after, you can easily test by editing the CSV file to contain a single news event and updating the time,. restart the news manager cBot to load. use the settings below to test, this will open a trade quickly.

I will test again with multiple symbols

IlBassa

I have the popup and in the storage the AUD-NRM says true, but the bot is still running and the position is open

do I need to create an instance for each pair or just one with all of them??

Mike

Did the position open by the Smart-Grid or did you submit an order yourself?

There is a 1-min delay for the smart grid to read the news file.

Is your symbol name in the positions tab AUDUSD, or is it different?

Steps That Work for Me

Open the AUD-NRM.json file, change the setting value to true
Start an instance of the smart grid for the symbol AUDUSD
when a trade opens, within 1-min it will close
