Chart object not initalised before OnStart()
Chart object not initalised before OnStart()

I have noticed that if you quickly run the bot the Chart object may not be setup in time, might be an idea to not enable the run button before it is so. i am using the below code as a work around at OnStart() entry
while (Chart == null)
{
Thread.Sleep(1);
}
// when Chart is ready for use code below
Chart.ScrollChanged += Chart_ScrollChanged

as soon as cTrader has loaded, quickly have your mouse over the blue play button for a bot, soon as it turns from greyed blue to deep blue click it. it seems to happen on most of the time on first load of cTrader.

Hi buccinator,
Which cBot do you use? What happens exactly? Please provide us with the full source code.

my bot is over 2700 lines of code and it seems irrelevant as it crashed first line of code at OnStart().
i just tried replicating the error in a new template bot with no luck. i tried with lots of parameters and big enums thinking it would somehow change the outcome, it did not.
the workaround i originally posted works so will stick with that, i guess its a heads up if anyone else (somehow) has the same issue.
from memory i believe it was a crashed with "onstart error with null reference exception object not set to an instance of an object".
the first line of code i had in OnStart() was use of the Chart object. sorry i am unable to replicate the issue in a template bot.
