Object Property access
18 Oct 2014, 11:50


Being an escapee from MT4 I'm still unfamiliar with the cTrader platform

Is there a simple method to access/edit the Object properties of a Trendline, Rectangle etc?

PS specifically    "·..Chart objects have no properties dialog to work with — you can only move them around but cannot set numeric price/time levels."

Also via cAlgo - how can I access Chart Objects 'programmatically', that I have manually created on the chart

No, it is not currently possible to read/modify chart objects. We plan to implement such functionality in the future.

WIthout trying to pin you down to an exact date could you give an implementation estimate eg within the next six month?

I'd really like to trade with cAlgol/cTrader (hope that it eventually displaces MT4), however without  being able to manipulate objects it is currently a non starter for myself.

We understand the importance of this functionality. Unfortunately we cannot provide a time estimate for the release.

Dear Traders,

We have no updates regarding this functionality. We cannot provide ETA at the moment.

I'd really like to recode my MT4  scripts in cAlgo, a pity that the required functionality is still unavailable.  Without code access to objects (TLines, Rctangles etc) it remains merely unrealized potential.
