Harmonic Pattern Scanner – Settings Window Blank
21 Apr 2025, 16:20


 

Hi,
I installed the Harmonic Pattern Scanner cBot on the latest version of cTrader Desktop (demo account). I’ve registered and activated it. The Telegram notifications work fine, but when I click on the “Settings” button, a blank white window appears and nothing loads.

I’ve already tried the following steps:

Reinstalled the cBot

Launched cTrader as administrator

Gave unrestricted access to the plugin

Installed WebView2 Runtime and .NET 6 Desktop Runtime

Checked the “Journal” logs – no errors are shown at all

Despite this, I still cannot access the settings window.
Please assist – perhaps a missing UI dependency or known bug?

Thank you!

Arthur

You need to contact the developers and ask them what the issue is since they have access to the source code and can tell you

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.MetroForm.UpdateSystemButtonsImages()

I’ve tried all the following:

Reinstalling the bot

Launching cTrader as administrator

Ensuring full access permissions

Installing all required runtimes

Nothing resolved the issue. The bot UI fails to render.

Please advise if this is a known bug or if an updated version is available.

Thank you!

This is a programming/coding issue. The error message makes it apparent - the code is trying to use an object that isn't being initialized or set in the code, hence the “null reference exception”.

The coder of the bot needs to debug their code and find out what it is.

 

Or they can share the code with someone to help out.

Either way, from everything you've shared right now, it's a pure coding issue, and nothing to do with cTrader itself.
