Backtesting Data is no longer cached?
14 Nov 2022, 00:12

Hi,

I have just downloaded the latest version of CTrader (4.4.19) and every time I open CTrader I have to download the data I need for backtesting each time. It use to cache?

Is there a settings key somewhere?

Cheers,

Jay

Please click the link below to view the short video. I run my bot over 6 months, close CTrader, re-open it and then go to re run my back test without changing anything and it has to load the data again. I am on the latest version of windows 11.

Dear Jay,

We were not able to reproduce the problem. Are you able to reproduce this with any of the sample bots? If not, please share your cBot code so that we can reproduce this behavior.

It is definitely an issue with the latest version of CTrader. I have another PC with an older version on, running the same bot and it caches the data as expected and does not have to reload it every time I close the application and re-open it.

This is definitely a problem for me now, I setup one of my traders today on a new machine and the backtest data was not cached.

The only way I could get it to work again was to uninstall all versions, run ccleaner to tidy up the registry, delete the algo and ctrader folder from my documents, the go to the AppData folder for the logged in user, delete the Spotware Folders from Local and Roaming and then reinstall Ctrader. Mine is now working.

There is definitely an issue when CTrader upgrades.
