Deploying my Bots and Indicators
21 May 2023, 20:57


I have written about 20 indicators and bots.

They were written and built in VisuaStudio/cTrader on my local development machine

However I do my live trading on another machine.

I was wondering what is the process to package and deploy my bots and indicators?

Is there some docs or videos explaining that process?

TIA

Rob

Good on you for having separate Dev/Production environments :-)

To answer your question, just copy the resulting .algo files over from one machine to the other, and double-click to install.

There's nothing fancy about it. Copy however you want (network share, memory stick, even by attaching to an email and then downloading the attachment on your trading machine)

On your live trading machine, just copy the algo files into the:

1) C:\Users\ [your windows username] \Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Robots for your robots

2) C:\Users\ [your windows username] \Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Indicators for your custom indicators
