• There isn't one unless Spotware has a secret list
• you're probably doing something that the code, whether you know it or not, expects to have access to something on the chart, which it obviously doesn't since it's in non-visual mode.

• oh…and how do they expect developers to fix their code?
• actually no, i'm only reading an indicator, placing stop orders, moving SLs and TPs

the only other thing i noticed is that right before the crash i have an “Modifying position PID30 (SL: 1.07551, TP: 1.083) FAILED with error "InvalidStopLossTakeProfit"” error…but i have this error also a few other times a lot of time before the crash so I don't think that's the point

If you don't post any sample code that reproduces the problem, I don't know how you expect people to be able to help you further.

I expect getting help in translating that error code into a textual understandable error description, not for sure putting the source code of a program on a public forum…I don't think my concerns are strange, are they? :)

Well I wouldn't expect much help then, bceause you need to give a bit more for even Spotware to have something to investigate. 

And not asking for whole code - just sample code that reproduces the issue.

yep…I get the point…unfortunately as i said before the problem seems to came out right after modifying a stop loss with an invalid price…so the piece of code is “simply” this, nothing strange:

foreach (var pos in Positions.FindAll(_Label, SymbolName)) {
	if (
		(pos.TradeType == TradeType.Buy && pos.EntryPrice < Symbol.Bid)
		|| (pos.TradeType == TradeType.Sell && pos.EntryPrice > Symbol.Ask)
	) {
		pos.ModifyStopLossPrice(pos.EntryPrice);
	}
}

it basically puts a BE stop loss. the strange part is that in the logs i can find more than 1 error referring to an invalid stop loss price but it only crashes at some point, not punctually at every occurence of the error. looks like it tolerate a variable amount of errors and then it gives up crashing.

let me know if the informations given can help you more…
