Constant losing of server connection on cTrader for Mac 5.0.20
07 Nov 2024, 07:55


I spend several hours a day doing algo trading optimizations on cTrader. I also did that for two years on Windows machine. Mac is amazing in terms of performance due to multi-core but it loses connection a lot of times and takes a long time to re-establish connection to the server and the broker. This is across brokers (FxPro, Skilling, TopFX). 

The problem with this is that when you're loading multi-year tick-level data - the process often doesn't complete because when the server disconnects - the tick level load fails without feedback and you end up with a non running backtest or optimization run. 

This is the largest issue when using cTrader for Mac for algo trading strategy development. I have a Macbook Pro 16, M3 18 core, 18 GB RAM and a fast fibre connection of 1 GB/Sec and my local router connection is 100 MB/Sec with low latency.
