Hello Panagiotis Char,

I hold immense respect for your contributions to cTrader.

I'm reaching out regarding a situation with a client of mine, trader "kstiks," who rented my cBot ( https://ctrader.com/algos/cbots/show/3678 ).

The issue at hand is that he can successfully conduct backtests with the cBot, but he encounters difficulties when attempting to optimize it. He can't optimize the cBot.

 Are there any insights or ideas you might have about the possible reasons behind this problem?

I greatly appreciate your advice and assistance.

Thank you.

(He waited patiently for some time after recording this video, hoping to see if he would receive any optimization results at all. Unfortunately, the optimization process only yields zeros.)

Hi there,

Can he click on the optimization passes and check the logs? There could be some useful information there.

Surprisingly, the Log is EMPTY!

I requested that he perform this action, but he mentioned that the Log is empty.

It's worth noting that all other eight individuals who have rented the cBot for a month have been able to run optimization in cTrader without any issues.

However, this particular individual is unable to optimize the cBot, despite having an i5 processor and 16 GB of RAM, along with a Windows 11 operating system.

I'm puzzled as to what could be causing this specific issue. 

Do you have any other advice or ideas regarding the possible cause of this issue? 

If anyone else has insights or suggestions, please don't hesitate to share them.

The issue has been resolved.

Trader "kstiks" didn't have the new .NET 6 installed. 

For those who are unable to optimize the cBot due to using .NET 4, please download and install .NET 6 from the following

My cBot is built using .NET 6.

Thank you

Best regards,

Mark

It could be any reason that would prevent your cBot from placing trades. You need to debug your cBot step by step on your client's machine to figure it out. It's not possible to get help without somebody being able to reproduce the issue on his/her machine
