Ctrader web platform works fine for me but the download one lags when I'm connected
30 Mar 2013, 18:28


Hello,

 

I realy like the Ctrader platform, the web base platform is running realy fast on my browser but I have an issue with the download platform (demo account). It runs a bit slow compare to the web base one, it seems that every actions respond with a small delay, the menus don't respond quickly when mouse is over it.

 

It seems to repond fast when I'm not connected for example on the weekends

 

My PC specification is :

 

  •           Operating System: windows 7 Home Premium
  •           Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU@2.20GHz 2.20 GHz
  •           Memory Ram : 6.00 GB (5.78 usable)
  •           System type : 64-bit 
 
 
 

 

  •                  I don't think I get any virus problem (running anti spyware in safemode)
  •                  I have a lot of free Ram and CPU running the ctrader
  •                  All my drivers seem to be update according to microsoft

 

I install and reinstall the ctrader but the issue persists
 
 

 

 

My internet speed is around 7 mbps

 

 

I realy like the platform but I don't know how to make it run normaly on PC.

 

 

Can someone please give me a clue to how to solve this issue?

 

 

Thank you in advance.

I've had same problems, I only use the downloaded version of cTrader, also I lose price feed and have to re-subscribe (its say's that the bandwidth connection is slow, I have 62mb) This issue usally occurs when there are price spikes

A  lot of the times when I want to enter a trade the buttons dont respond, and some times I have to click a few times to close a possition. 

However the platform has been inproving.

PC Desktop 2.8GHz  4GB Ram  1GB Graphics Card, Windows 7 64bit

I think the problem my be my broker, but I fail to see what they gain from this.

Found a solution of the problem

I get the solution of my issue, it was due to my computer DNS setup. I just setup another DNS for my network connection and the platform respond really fast. For those who have the same problem with the platform I use this tuto to configure an opendns :  https://store.opendns.com/setup/computer/

What does DNS setup have to do with responsovness of the actual platform?

Anyways, good to see that its running smoothly.

It seems it was  just a problem with my internet connection. Now it's ok!
