I also saw this messages just before this error:

04.10.2024 13:08:05.026 | Error | An attempt to get related symbols required for conversion of 'USD' to 'EUR' failed.
04.10.2024 13:08:05.026 | Error | An attempt to get related symbols required for conversion of 'USD' to 'EUR' failed.

I hope it helps. I have a EUR account with icmarkets.

RE: cTrader 5.0.20 MacOS bot error

Sorry, i can not share the source code. 

As far as i guess; this looks like a sync issue. cTrader could not load values for currency conversion so it couldn't work. I remember seeing a blue line at the top of the app, going left and right. I guess this happens when cTrader is trying to reconnect or something like that. This happens a lot in in mac version 5.0.20 and very very rare in old windows version 4.9.1.

All the Best
