Can you create a new chart programmatically via the API?
29 Nov 2022, 18:20

Hi

New to CTrader.

I'm generating my own bars from ticks for backtesting and would like to visualise the results.

In MT4 and JForex it's possible to create a new chart via the API and populate it with your own bars, indicators and trade visualisations.

I've taken a quick look at the CTrader chart API and can't see any way to do this - it only seems to work with charts that already exist in the client.

Am I missing something, or will I have to use a 3rd party charting library?

RE:

I never got an answer to this, and took a different route.

But I recently spotted this in the Spotware Github repo, and it seems to work.

It may be useful to someone so I thought I'd post the link:

You can't.
