cBot Autostart
02 Oct 2015, 20:08


Hi,

cBot is for automated trading but no feature is available such that a cBot would start automatically at the platform startup.

I understand the risk with this, but adding an optional feature for this could be beneficial. Here is it. I can use Windows scheduler to start automatically my cTrader at Windows startup, but manual intervention is needed to start the cBot. So if my server is down and restarted, I will need to manually intervene. That's where the choice of cBot autostart will really be nice. MT4 has this "natually" ...

 

Thanks

How often does your server go down?

A VPS should have a good track record of up-time, most are 99.5% on an annual basis, if it ever does go down, which would be rare, you can get notified via SMS.

If you not using a Cloud Server for your automated trading and your using real money then I would highly recommend you start using one.

Thanks, but tell me something I don't know about tech and trading!
And even without your VPS going down, if you have an application monitoring that reboots unresponsive applications because well, you want them to be ALWAYS online, then I want my cbot to starts trading automatically!
This is a very basic feature in MT 4/5-land, but obviously a huge step for cAlgo...

seriously, you are mocking me as a customer!

1) this request has been around for more than 2 years now and you still have it in plan to do it. clealry, user preference is not on top of your planning.

2) please have a look yourself in vote area and see how many already votes are there for this request. absolutely useless for me to create yet another one.
