CTrader fails to start
17 Dec 2024, 20:29


I have now experienced this failure both with the CTrader desktop app and the IC Markets version of the CTrader desktop app.

I have a Algo which I am running locally, because I create screenshots and write reports to the file system. I have created similar Algos with prior version of CTrader without an issue. However, with the move recent version of CTrader (ver 5). I encounter an error, and afterwards the desktop shows the logo screen, but fails to start. So once I encounter a weird error in VS2022, I can no longer start the desktop after it is closed. 

I first encountered this issue in the IC Markets version of the Desktop app,  and the Event Viewer logs seemed to indicate an issue with PerfLib dll. I have since refreshed my Windows 11 installation, but without success.

I then turned to the CTrader version, and had to recreate my Algo, and then ported over my code. It compiled just fine, but before I could run it, it failed as well with an error I think it send to CTrader. So I am stuck

I am currently rebuilding the Algo in FxPro (5.0.50), and I have not encountered an issue as yet.

I did not take a screenshot of the error I encountered, but since it indicated it was sending the error to CTrader, I would imagine an instance of the failure would exist on your end.

I cannot get back in to either of the IC Markets or CTrader desktop versions.

I  will provide a copy of the bot at the point the issue resurfaces in the FxPro desktop.
