Different between Ask / Bid displayed in cTrader and provided at onTick event in cAlgo
Different between Ask / Bid displayed in cTrader and provided at onTick event in cAlgo
18 Feb 2013, 02:37
Hello all,
it seems to me that not every tick change will be catched by the onTick event in cAlgo compared to the Sell / Ask Buttons displayed in cTrader. As a result there is a different in ask / bid prices (see screenshot below).
I did a check with the following line of code and compared the Ask / bid prices in the log list with the Ask / bid prices displayed on the cTrader buttons. At a rough estimate every 10th tick which occurs as change on the buttons is not recognized in the onTick - event.
Is this a known problem or is there something I get wrong.
Thanks a lot for clarification
With kind regards, Hugoman
protected override void OnTick()
{
// Put your core logic here
Print("Sell: {0} ; Buy: {1} ; Spread: {2}",Symbol.Bid, Symbol.Ask, Symbol.Spread);
}

Hello Admin,
Thank you for investigating. Have you been able to reproduce the issue? I made a small video which clearly points out the issue for two times within 2 minutes today a few minutes ago. As it is not possible to attach videos to this post I don't know how to forward it to you. Please let me know, If you are interested in to get it, I will send it by mail.
For me this is a very serious issue. Which is the price to rely on? cAlgo API or cTrader order-buttons? Or is it just a matter of APIs that I have to use instead of Symbol.Bid and Symbol.Ask?
Thanks again in advance.
With kind regards, Hugoman
