Oanda Autochartist API

Whoa! Awesome Tollan! 

Going to check it out, haven't used Autochartist. Awesome work! :-)

Great, thanks! I'm interested in any feedback and am currently running a live version of this algorithm in my practice account.

Great work! Congratulations!

Tollan Renner, just out of curiosity, how did you made the develop? Did you have an API manual? Or it was just trial an error?

Json.NET provides some documentation:

https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/SerializingJSONFragments.htm

Oanda's API details the JSON response fields:

Finally, I used json2csharp.com to initially convert the example response to C# classes.

Thank you very much!

Hi Tollan

Is this where i need to enter the Token key?

[Parameter]
        public string accessToken; 

I found where to insert token..but now i get these errors while I try to build

61 | 20:36:15:

Build Error: File: Main.cs Line:56 Column:43 - Newline in constant

62 | 20:36:15:

Build Error: File: Main.cs Line:56 Column:109 - ) expected

63 | 20:36:15:

Build Error: File: Main.cs Line:57 Column:0 - Newline in constant

64 | 20:36:15:

Build Error: File: Main.cs Line:57 Column:2 - ; expected

I setup the accessToken as a algorithm parameter. Did you add yours in the algorithm's parameters field?

Interesting algo. I tried somethings with it:

• kept only major fxds, removed symbols with higher spreads
• added Cfds
• Calculate units based on risk,and not assign fixed lots. Patterns with higher propability are granted higher account risks
• Only trade patterns with >65% probability
• ony trade pattterns with interval lower or equals than 4H 
• Fixed some .Net code incompatible with .net mono, so I can run on local Mac OS server
• The stoploss I changed to 1:1 in risk

Those are great ideas, Erik, and broadly applicable to the different approaches you could take with the Autochartist patterns. I'm thinking of trying out some additional chartpattern screening with technical indicators, but have been working on a different algo recently. The Oanda Autochartist key levels API you mention is another strategy I'd like to test out in the future. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you were able to make use of the Autochartist API template I posted! 

Awesome work Tollan. I've been meaning to do this as well for a while now, but now that I've found this I decided to register here and follow the project. There's a very good chance this will work in the market place.

What has the results been like on the demo so far ?

Thanks, Elkart Coetzee! I appreciate the enthusiasm. Actually, I haven't worked on this algo recently and mine is still a template in beta testing, though I can find some more time to gather results since it has potential.

I cloned it and tried to run it, but it keeps on getting runtime errors. I see in the code you call v1 which has been deprecated. Is there any possibility of updating it for a V20 account ? I'm not even sure Oanda has a current version of this running in V20. I've been looking for V20 information but the website just goes around in circles. I can't find the inormation, all I get is the V1 has been deprecated page. It might be better to get the Autochartist information directly from Autochartist and not Oanda. But that requires another login. But this is awesome. I'd really love to know if this works or not. Been thinking about it for a while. 

This is as far as I can get with Autochartist on Oanda : http://developer.oanda.com/rest-live/forex-labs/#autochartist

I am getting the following error 

Tollan Renner any idea why?

V1 has been deprecated by Oanda.
