This does not delete cBots/Indicators synchronized by mistake.  Can someone at Spotware please let me know how we can remove unwanted cBots & Indicators stored in the cloud please.??

Sorry I meant delete the cBot, from cTrader itself, wait for everything to sync, then disable the synchronization. 

This means you'll have to reinstall the bot on cTrader after you disable the synchronization when you've deleted everything.

Of course it does. Because when you turn sync back on, it syncs everything. I don't think you get to pick and choose which ones sync and which ones don't. 

However, if you have it on a separate computer (another laptop? VPS?) it will only sync what's on that computer. What I do is on VPS I only have the bot I want synced in the cloud; on my local laptop, I run bots I don't want synced in the cloud, and have disabled syncing on my local laptop; syncing is enabled on my VPS. 

 

@PanagiotisCharalampous can you add any clarifications around this?

Hi there,

if you want to delete your synchronized algos, you have to delete algorithms one by one while synchronization is enabled.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Panagiotis,

Are there any plans to allow traders to manage/access to their cloud space?
This would be great.

I agree, this makes enormous sense vs just synchronizing workspaces ect.

I see.

Cloud execution is not yet an alternative for cBots that need to access to files, I assume?

Any workaround?

The local storage is explained a little bit here:

https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-algo/synchronisation/requirements-for-cbots/

 

There's quite a bit of limitations with cbots in the cloud.

Sample limitations and their associated links are below:

  • “cBots operating in Cloud do not have access to any chart opened in cTrader.” (so much for running a bot that draws lines and other features on a chart)

( https://www.spotware.com/terms-of-services )

  • “To ensure that your experience with cTrader is as smooth as possible, you can only run custom indicators and plugins on cTrader Desktop” (does this mean you can't use a custom indicator in a cbot in the cloud since the indicator itself won't be running in the desktop?)

( https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-algo/synchronisation/faq/#if-i-am-the-author-of-an-algorithm-can-i-charge-other-people-for-using-it )

No, for now cloud execution is designed with specific limitations to assure smooth execution of all cBots on the cloud. Risky operations like network are file access are limited at the moment. We will make further decisions after this first release is evaluated.

Please be aware that, at the moment, there is still no effective alternative to cTrader desktop for cBots that need to access to files, unfortunately.

While still missing the OnStop(), CLI is also limited when it comes to this.
