Ctrader bot ignores code and blown my account!
14 Jan 2025, 22:52


I have my bot on cloud instance ID122928. It has been working fine on H4 time frame and usaully place d a trade onec in 2 weeks. However on 18th Dec it violated the code logic and placed >1000 trades in  around 40mins and blown my acocunt on spread and commissisons. Ctrader interface doesn't provide any server execution logs so I have no idea what went wrong and if it was something I could've accounted for in my code. Or was it Calgo glitch? 

Can you review from your end and help me get to the root cause?

I haven't received any meaningful reposnse on this neither form Spotweare nort from my broker and this looks like fraud at this point. Please help!

Why haven't you run your bot locally and do a “back test” for the dates Dec 16th - 20th to see if anything happens that you can pin point? 

 

Run your backtest against tick data and see what happens.
