RE: buggy ctrader copy on ctrader web?

Hello,

I think the ctrader copy wbe interface is buggy.  I am seeing that for some providers I have :

but for other providers I am able to click on start copying.  I have this message in cases where there was an equity stop loss OR if I stopped copying the strategy (afterwards I cannot start again).

additionally,  today  I wanted to partially withdraw some funds,  ctrader copy completely removed the funds (credited to my account so ok on the $ side),  but  I was no longer able to copy the strategy (message above).

Issue seems reproducible,  so I think it is a bug

It'd be nice to have cAlgo.API compatible with .NET Core.

yes agree, .net CORE is now the standard, already at version 3.1 and stable...

I think this exists already under Indicators=>Volume=>Money Flow Index.

does the Draggable SL and TP work on Samsung?  I hav the mobile version 3.6.54200

I click on chart and go to full screen mode but I don't have the handles to allow adjusting the SL or TP.  This is a very useful feature!  hope I can get it to work, any pointers?

I am with ICMarkets.

Is it possible that this happens when traders increase a position size?  That is, rather than increasing the position in the copying account,  it opens a new position.  Also not sure how copying works when positions are partially closed.

Hi Panagiotis,

I would really appreciate feedback on my screenshot confirmation of the bug.  I can easily reproduce this.  This issue has consequences on ATP, SL2BE  and also people who are programming bots which depend on the entry price being accurate.  Grid, Martingale, hedging may all be affected.  I am surprised no one else has seen this,  however I only understood what was happening recently.  I have been using cTrader actively for 3 years so I know the platform well.

For others who may be interested,  as a work around,  I now open multiple positions.  However this has a serious downside, that there are way too many lines on my graphs!

Regards,

Dear Panagiotis,

I was able to reproduce issue 2 on a demo account  the way I see it working (please correct me if something is wrong in my understanding)  I really need to understand this  as this situation is standard for anyone who scales into a position or uses grid/martingale.  If there is a bug here it should be fixed urgently  as this is actually quite common.  I would invite you to reproduce on your side. It requires a bit of patience to allow positions to move into  a loss , double and then move into profit.  HEre are the details.

In my example  :

1.  open 0.01 EURUSD 

2. waitied for it to drop -12 pips

3. doubled the position to 0.02

4. waited for the position to move to a very small profit about 3pips in my case

5. partially closed 0.01 lots and then for illustration, IMMEDIATELY partially closed 0.01 (Which closes the entire position).

You will see in the screenshot below that the entry price for the 2 partially closed positions is different!  Even though as you say when I doubled the position my entry price was adjusted to the average price.  When I partially closed the position different prices were used to compute the pips.  This has no effect  on the $result, but the impact on ATP is huge.  when I partially closed the dirst position,  my pips for the total position was showing about 3pips.  But we clearly see that this has been split into a 7.4 pips gain and a 0.4 pip gain.  In fact when I close the first position,  the new pips reading was immeadiately 7.4 pips.  However If I had set ATP1 at 3 pips,  and ATP2 at 5pips,  my ATP2 would have been triggered at the same time at ATP1 which is not intuitive.   Please let me know if I need to clarify something,  I realize analysis is a bit complicated.

AGain there is no impact  on the $ situation at the end,  but this situation is important.

Your suggestions for improvments to CTrader Copy are excellent.  I would also hope to see these in the future.  I am a signal provider on copy and mirror.  The system is ecellent but your suggestions will take the system to a new level.  With these in place the system will be well ahead of the equivalent MT4 copy system.  One other concern with the current systen is that someone could as you say open a small account and in addition to getting knowledge of the system they could potentially open a big account on the side and manually copy trades completely working around the commissions.  Actually  this would disadvantage Spotware since Spotware would lose the mirroring commission they currently take.  It is to the full advantage of Spotware and to Signal providers to implement this functionality.

RE:

HEllo,

I unfortunately also have the slow back testing issue that others have reported.  When backtesting from say 2015,  I see that it sometimes just stops at around 2017.  While the bugs /optimizations are being sorted out,  is there some way that I can get the old Calgo version 2 series?  I cannot find a download link.  I would like to replace the Beta temporarily so that I can continue backtesting/optimizations.

Hello,

ybove is a very simple example.  I added he Bollinger bands indicator,  middle line is the average and is solid,  upper and lower bands use different dot styles.  We see clearly that the dotted lines are showing data into the future and around 12:35 the upper band is below the middle moving average which is due to the horizantal alignment issue.

Regards,

shelby

just a small update:

ChartObjects.DrawText("text3", "\nTEXT", StaticPosition.TopRight, Colors.Yellow);

should be

ChartObjects.DrawText("text3", "\n\nTEXT", StaticPosition.TopRight, Colors.Yellow);

From what I am seeing the \n is calculated frop the TopRight and not the previously drawn text element. if you use just \n instead of \n\n the thrid line overwrites the second.
