Latest bar/candle not reflecting latest price
28 Nov 2017, 15:38


Hi Spotware team,

I reported this issue twice before, the first time being on 13 Jan 2017 but was not acknowledged.  The latest bar/candle stops updating to reflect the latest bid (OnTick).  I have again attached a snapshot of the chart to illustrate this.  It happens sporadically but is almost guaranteed to occur at least once a day.  I would like to know if this problem is somehow unique to my particular hardware/software setup and whether or not there is a solution.

Thanks

Hi sweetman_dave,

Thanks for reporting this. From what I understand from the screenshot this happens on cTrader Web. Can you please confirm?

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Thanks for the quick response, Panagiotis.  It is cTrader desktop and I'm running windows 10.  If there is no bot running, once I notice the problem I can refresh the window and the program catches up.  If a bot is running, I would obviously have to stop it before I could refresh - which in some cases is less than ideal.  The biggest danger is not noticing the mismatch between the latest price (I don't usually have the bid line displayed) and the bar/candle.

I love cAlgo by the way - but cTrader used to be better even though it had less features.

Thanks again,

Dave

Hi sweetman_dave,

Thanks for the additional information. We will try to reproduce this, even though I monitored the application for quite a while but could not see any issue. I will forward your issue to the quality assurance team for further investigation.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Thanks Panagiotis - you could watch it for hours and it wouldn't happen, but it usually happens at least once a day - on my setup, anyway.  I forgot to mention that the bar's countdown timer also stops counting down.

RE:

Hello,

Did you find the solution? It happens to me as well. I have an indicator of my own. After working it for a while when i refresh the chart the values change, sometimes dramatically :(

If there is a solution like refresh the last 10 candle data or something like that, it would be enough for me.

I am guessing that my client may miss some ticks?

Hi ergun+de,

This is a very old issue and we did not have any reports for such a report lately. Can you please provide more information about the issue you experience? Recording a video of this behavior would be helpful.

Best Regards,

RE:

Hi Panagiotis,

I solved my problem in the morning. It was an issue on my algorithm :( Sorry. But also is there a way to refresh candle data for lets say last ten candles of active timeframe?
