cTrader Desktop: Process keeps stopping
21 Mar 2022, 19:49


Hello,

I've noticed, for several times, that cTrader Desktop gets closed (process ends) without any apparent reason.

This happens when I am running multiple cBots, however, that should not be the reason, I guess.

What can be the reasons for this?

 

Thank you.

Hi ncel01,

On the contrary, I believe that would be the reason. If this happens without the cBots running, please send us some troubleshooting information. To do so, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T when in cTrader, paste a link to this discussion inside the text box that will appear and then Submit.

Hi Panagiotis,

Still, if this only happens when running cBots, it was not supposed to, I believe?

Hi ncel01,

We do not control the code inside the cBots and this code can cause any side effects, since it is executed on the same process as cTrader. In future releases, cBot and Indicator code will be executed in a separate process, isolating the main process from such effects. Until then, you should be carefull regarding what you are executing on your cTrader platform.

Panagiotis,

I understand.

Apparently I don't see why this can happen, apart from an overwhelming use of hardware resources.

Can this be a good reason, maybe?

 

Thank you.

Hi ncel01,

This should not cause cTrader to close. Maybe some fatal flaw inside the cBot code. We need troubleshooting info to determine what is wrong.

Hi Panagiotis,

Thanks for the further clarifications.

In the meantime, I got (for the first time) the following system error message:

A new guard page for the stack cannot be created.

As far as I've read, this can be related to a lack of available RAM at some moment.

Has this been already reported before?

Are you aware of the reason for such an error?

 

Thank you once again!

Hi ncel01,

Unfortunately I do not read Portuguese (If my guess is correct). But yet, it could be a memory issue as well. If your cBots consume too much memory, this could happen.

Hi Panagiotis,

 

Yes, you are correct!

This is the following error: A new guard page for the stack cannot be created.

That's what I thought in fact, a memory issue.

Thanks for your the support once again!

 

Regards
