Principles for trading cryptocurrencies part 2

2020-09-08T12:39:00Z

In the previous article we’ve analysed the main tools used particularly in trading and crypto trading. We've explained such important element as a chart. Keep in mind that charts can be different, and each trader can use different charts and time frames. For example S#.Data (Hydra) program may build charts of various trading elements and time frames 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]

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 Time Frame.[happy]

Let's look at the basic elements of Japanese candle. The rectangles on the chart is the body of a candle. The body of candle is formed based on the values of beginning and the end of the chosen time frame.

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 S#.Data (Hydra) program candles adopted green and red colour therefore we can determine the rise or fall of selected exchange tool.

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]

A Doji 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 spinning top. S# programs 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]

Loading Data and Candles

2018-02-21T09:02:50Z

I am trying to load up candles with some data retrieved from Hydra. I was able to retrieve the data in Bin using MFD. From there I was able to open the securities from the storage file and find the time frame candles. My first question is Can you explain what the "start button" does in the Market Data tab. When I click on it it shows only Finam. When I click on that the following gives me an error.

Additionally, I was trying to show the candles using the sample candles code provided. I am using Brent as an example here from the MFD. When I run it with a time-frame of 1:0:0:0 in Bin format, I don't get any thing shown on my candle chart.

Also when I try a different security for instance AMD@SPB, when I press start, I get a blank chart and I'm assuming an infinite loop in which I cannot disconnect/stop the process.

Retrieve Historical Candles

Hi.

I'm enjoying using the S# API and so fat it's been easy to use.

I'm retrieving some historical candles to backtest my robot on, and once I call trader.SubscribeCandles I get a new candle each time I get the trader.ProcessCandle event which works great. Is there an event that is fired to show that all candles have been received
