cBots frequently freeze during trading.
30 Oct 2023, 21:38


I'm using Desktop 4.8.28, but when I'm running a large number of cBots, Grids-based cBots frequently freeze.
This is a fatal problem in cTrader trading.
I've been having this problem for a while, but it hasn't been fixed yet.

Backtesting does not cause such problems. It's a cTrader platform issue.
cTrader is a trading platform, and making cBot movements smooth and accurate should be a priority.

Hi there,

Sounds more like a problem with your cBots. Spotware cannot control the quality of the cBot code you run. You should try to optimize them. Else share your cBot code and exact steps how someone can reproduce your problem

PanagiotisChar, thank you for your replying.
The MT4 EA of the same program is working without any problems, so it is unlikely that there is a problem with the cBot code.

Even though the VPS, broker server, and internet are connected and the cBot button is orange and working,
Occasionally, a problem occurs where cBot is stuck and does not trade.

Since the cBot button and the Automete lamp on the chart are in the operating state, it is impossible to determine whether the cBot is moving or stopped.

When cBot is stuck, I can take a screenshot if the cTrader platform displays an error signal, but if there is no error display, I cannot reproduce the problem.

However, if I get suspicious because cBot is not trading where it should be and restart the cTrader platform, cBot will recover and start trading normally.

This kind of situation occurs from once a week to once a month. This often happens during periods of heavy trading.
Is the multi-functionality of the cTrader platform negatively impacting the operation of cBot?


There have been similar posts recently. I think it's probably the same problem.

Hi there,

It's hard to tell anything without the actual cBot code and a clear way to reproduce the problem. It could be anything. Try sharing your cBot code and send some troubleshooting info the next time this happens.

You also need to post your issues in the appropriate forum, not the “Suggestions” forum. That's like half your problem to start with:
