We've explained such important element as a <b><u>chart</u></b>. Keep in mind that <b><em><u>charts</u></em></b> can be different, and each trader can use different <b><em><u>charts and time frames</u></em></b>. For example <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/hydra/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/hydra/"><b><em><u>S#.Data (Hydra)</u></em></b></a> program may build charts of various <em>trading elements and time frames</em> such as ticks, candles with various periods and volume charts. All of this give you a wide look to analyse the market, assess risks and its perspectives.[nerd]<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/115973/trade-build-charts_png/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/115973/trade-build-charts_png/?size=500x500" alt="trade-build-charts.png" title="trade-build-charts.png" /></a><br /><br />A pair may have different charts which can be distinguished by time frames. So for instance, the chart can be of 5 or fifteen minutes period. These periods named are <b><em><u>Time Frame</u></em></b>.[happy]<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/115974/trading-periods-timeframe_png/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/115974/trading-periods-timeframe_png/?size=500x500" alt="trading-periods-timeframe.png" title="trading-periods-timeframe.png" /></a><br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/115975/charts-timeframes_png/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/115975/charts-timeframes_png/?size=500x500" alt="charts-timeframes.png" title="charts-timeframes.png" /></a><br /><br />Let's look at the basic elements of <b><em><u>Japanese candle</u></em></b>. The rectangles on the chart is the body of a <b><u>candle</u></b>. The body of candle is formed based on the values of beginning and the end of the chosen time frame.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/115976/charts-candle-body_png/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/115976/charts-candle-body_png/?size=500x500" alt="charts-candle-body.png" title="charts-candle-body.png" /></a><br /><br /><b>A candlestick is a type of price chart, and its candlestick can have bullish pattern if the opening price is lower the closed price, or in the opposite direction is bear candlestick. In the <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/hydra/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/hydra/">S#.Data (Hydra)</a> program candles adopted green and red colour therefore we can determine the rise or fall of selected exchange tool.</b><br /><br />Also, a shadow is a line found on a candlestick chart which indicates the maximum and minimum price during the forming process. In the case of the absence of the upper shadow is considered that candle's top being cut off or the opposite is the base is cut off. [ninja]<br /><br />A <b><em><u>Doji</u></em></b> is a candlestick with no real body, where the open price is equal to the closed price. If the body of the candle is small, then it is called a <b><u>spinning top</u></b>. <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/"><b><em><u>S# programs</u></em></b></a> allows traders to read candles as much as possible. A friendly interface and advanced analyses tools make them crucial for traders because the ability to read the candles it reduces the risks, especially in crypto currency market.[wink]<br />https://stocksharp.com/topic/12027/Crucial solutions in creating trading robots2020-08-11T13:48:03Z2020-08-11T13:48:03ZILYAhttps://stocksharp.com/users/127794/info@stocksharp.comTraders may face a problem if they want to create trading robots and one of the issues is the lack of programming knowledge. Not every trader can be a <em>programmer</em>. A <b>trader</b> may simulate a good trading system but have zero coding knowledge. Even if you know of the programming languages very well, you might need to learn another one but if you have 0 knowledge of programming then it can be very challenging. Of course, you can buy trading robot but always keep in mind that it’s not perfect and may have some bugs or problems which lead to difficulties in modifying <b>trading robot</b>. [nerd]<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/115588/trading-robot_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/115588/trading-robot_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="trading-robot.jpg" title="trading-robot.jpg" /></a><br /><br />No worries here, there’s a solution. For example, our trading software - <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/designer/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/designer/">S#.Designer</a>. <b><em><u>It has the functions to create trading robots even with 0 knowledge of programming</u></em></b> with help of cubic system which represent an individual elements of trading strategies. And at the same time such strategy won't be having less functionality or reliability. <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/designer/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/designer/">S#.Designer</a> can combine and use the blocks (cubic) of code making strategies more flexible by your wish.[happy]<br /><br />Another disadvantage of trading robot is considered the lack of analyzing the current market conditions and trends. For sure, a <b><em>trading robot</em></b> is not an artificial intelligence and mostly depends human knowledge, however the knowledge of market with its technical analyse may minimize the problem. Using market data or other trading tools such as indicators or indexes which consist in <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/designer/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/designer/">S#.Designer</a> in a large amount, you will be able to create a robot more loyal to the market, expand the conditions, functionality and possibilities to react to a particular trading situation. [wink]<br /><br /><b><em><u>Automated trading systems</u></em></b> can participants of the exchange market huge opportunities for a trade, provide some benefits over those manual traders. In any market, a trading robot always perform its embedded algorithm. However, you must know, that a <b>trading robot </b><br />only a tool and you have to know monitor its work in order to correct some problems showed up. A <b>trader</b> should understand that <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/designer/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/designer/">S#.Designer</a> is not just create a robot, but also fill it with intelligence and logic, adding additional features and conditions. It also takes a step forward in creating more interactive and complex logic trading strategy that makes decision based on inputs which increases its profitability.

In today’s article we will explain all advantages and benefits along with successful approaches of using <b>trading robots</b>.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/115426/algo-trading-robots_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/115426/algo-trading-robots_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="algo-trading-robots.jpg" title="algo-trading-robots.jpg" /></a><br /><br />1) The trading robot itself can’t make a mistake but only if a trader made this mistake by creating this robot. For example by creating a <b>trading robot </b>with <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/api/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/api/">S#.API</a> program, the user using tested and debugged libraries what makes the whole process of developing a <b>trading robot </b>way easier and the strategy itself is more stable. By placing an order, a correctly built a trading robot doesn't make any technical or syntactic errors, thus we don't face any failures and losses, as for example if the order has been placed manually. <br /><br />2) A<b> trading robot</b> has a technical ability to track hundreds of quotes at once instantly react at market changes, make necessary calculations by operating with a large number of conditions and a big amount of information making the right decision correlating to the base algorithm. The <b><em><u>API library</u></em></b> allows you to create a robot whose speed of data processing makes it possible immediately take into account the trends and conditions of the market. Traders which don't use trading robots are forced to reduce the amount of trading tools, increase the use of time intervals (timeframes) and leave the idea of perspective but complex trading systems.<br /><br />3) A <b>trading robot</b> doesn't have any <b>psychological effect</b> or influence, it works based on algorithm written in the code what makes it reliable and stable tool for placing orders and the whole trading process.<br /><br />4) Once you developed a trading robot then you don't have to spend days around the monitor rather let your advisor to handle all the work and monitor 24/7 the whole trading process and put orders. Only what you need to do is manage conditions and strategy behavior by using a library.<br /><br /><a href='https://stocksharp.com/file/115427/stock-market_jpg/' class='lightview' data-lightview-options="skin: 'mac'" data-lightview-group='mixed'><img src="https://stocksharp.com/file/115427/stock-market_jpg/?size=500x500" alt="stock-market.jpg" title="stock-market.jpg" /></a><br /><br />5) Ease and simplicity of a program for creating <b>robots</b> - <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/shell/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/shell/">S#.Shell</a> and stable libraries <a href="https://stocksharp.com/products/api/" title="https://stocksharp.com/products/api/">S#.API</a> allows you to fill your trading strategy with additional features setting and installing new tools such as <em><u>SMS notifications and remote control of trading systems</u></em>.<br /><br />We's explained some positive aspects of trading robots and in a next article we will analyse some disadvantages and try to reduce its impact on your trading strategy.<br />https://stocksharp.com/topic/11967/Algo trading software review2020-06-29T10:44:30Z2020-06-29T10:44:30ZILYAhttps://stocksharp.com/users/127794/info@stocksharp.com<b><em>Read this article to find out more about tech companies developing software for algorithmic trading</em></b>.<br />Let's make a quick review. <br /><br />A <b>TSLab company</b> specialized in developing a popular trading software to work with <b>Forex</b> or <b>stockbrokers</b>.
