cTrader 4.4.19 issues
15 Jan 2023, 19:43


I was happy using cTrader 4.1, now I upgraded to cTrader 4.4.19 and I find multiple issues.

  1. massive RAM usage. I have an HP i9-10900 with 32GB RAM dedicated only to cTrader and after a couple of optimisations the system becomes slow and memory usage is over 70% while with cTrader 4.1 did not happen using the same optimisation parameters with the same cBots
  2. cTrader 4.4.19 is slower than cTrader 4.1. This happens in many situations, for example changing graphs, adding different indicators, changing panel from Trade to Automate and viceversa
  3. During Backtesting, on top there was a bar for moving from different dates/hours, now the bar is disappeared.

 

Also two major issues: NO auto-spacing and NO auto-tab when saving/buiding a cBot. For example writing:

if (Slow_rise == true)

{

if (Medium.Result.LastValue>Slow.Result.LastValue)

{

if (Fast.Results:LastValue>Medium.Result.LastValue && Fast.Results:Last(1)<=Medium.Result.Last(1))

{

var pos_b=Positions.FindAll("US30");

if (pos_b.Length<MaxBuy)

{

Print("BUY_____ US30");

ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol.Name,Vol_Buy,"US30",0,0);

}

}

}

}

 

In cTrader 4.1 the program lines were automatically adjusted with auto-spacing and auto-tabs making the all script much more organised and readable

if (Slow_rise == true)

{

if (Medium.Result.LastValue > Slow.Result.LastValue)

{

if (Fast.Results:LastValue > Medium.Result.LastValue && Fast.Results:Last(1) <= Medium.Result.Last(1))

{

var pos_b = Positions.FindAll("US30");

if (pos_b.Length < MaxBuy)

{

Print("BUY_____ US30");

ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol.Name, Vol_Buy, "US30", 0, 0);

}

}

}

}

 

With cTrader 4.4.19 all the lines remain as written !!!

Actually from Spotware site the version that I was able to download is cTrader desktop for Windows 4.5.7

I made a preliminary test:

  1. Two of the most annoying issues still remain, i.e. NO auto-spacing and NO auto-tab when saving/buiding a cBot

Honestly, I would think that the above issue should be easily visible from your side without my feedback !

I had no time yet to test RAM usage and speed test but with the above issue I will not use version 4.5.7 since in version 4.1 they work fine.
