Do these chart objects only work in realtime with robots?

ChartObjects are not supported on the backtesting chart for the time being. It will be implemented in the future.

Is it possible to use ChartObjects in cbots. I have a bot which draws arrows on each bar ( it might draw a buy or sell arrow or nothing ) and it works fine till the time chart is running. But if i turn on the bot and go back to see the code and come back again on the chart screen , then all the previous buy/sell arrows are gone and any incoming bar still draws the arrows correctly.

I saved the signals of buy/sell/nothing (1/-1/0) in an IndicatorSeries and charting the entire array on each incoming bar Open, but still any old bar after refresh of chart is not updating those arrows in the chart. Do you tell me what is going on ?

Dear Trader,

You have the ability to use ChartObjects in your cBots. Using chart objects in real time should work fine. They are not supported in Backtesting. Could you please send us a video showing your issue at troubleshooting@spotware.com or post a link.

Hi Team,

I am facing the issue only in cAlgo application but when i turn on the same Bot with chartObjects on cTrader , it works perfectly fine. Unfortunately, the video is too big to send but since i am going to use the bot in cTrader , i am fine with it at this moment.

Cheers
