I have the same problem

Exactly the same problem, see RSI indicator below. Happen in yesterday's update, and still happens in today's update.

Hi there,

Platforms just stream price feeds from liquidity providers. Hence you should talk to your broker about this.

Thank you Panagiotis.

@tuandunguit did you ever find a broker that supports both cTrader and Cent account?

Hi there,

Yes, can you please send me the link from where you found this so that we can fix it?

Hi there.

It must be coming from the Bars interface source file, as I see it in Visual Studio IntelliSense popup, as well as when drilling into the source with F12 in Visual Studio. See below:

RE: Typical and weighted price

Hi snowchilli,

The formulas are 

Typical Price = (High+Low+Close)/3

Weighted Close = (Close*2+High+Low)/4

Does this mean Bars interface is not documented correctly for Bars.TypicalPrices , see below? I guess it should be /3 and not /2 as per the code comment?

public interface Bars : IEnumerable<Bar>, IEnumerable
{
    //
    // Summary:
    //     Gets the Typical prices data (High + Low + Close) / 2.
    DataSeries TypicalPrices { get; }
}

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Changing timeframe while backtesting using visual backtesting

Hi Beyers,

The timeframe will change as soon as you start backtesting again.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Hi Panagiotis,

I think there's some misunderstanding here. I do not want to rerun the backtest on a different timeframe. I want to for example backtest on H1, and when the backtest finishes change the timeframe on the backtest window to M30 or M15 to analyze in more detail what actually happened in the lower timeframes, while still keeping the trade history of the H1 backtest. I'm fairly new to cTrader and automated trading in general, but I would've thought this would be a common scenario for testing and finetuning?

Maybe I could to set the cBot timeframe as an input parameter (H1), and then run the backtest with M15 timeframe? Or would this not be possible?

Kind regards

Beyers

How do I do that? When my backtest finishes, I am unable to change the timeframe on the backtest tab, the options are greyed out. Changing the timeframe under the Algo left panel does not update the backtest window timeframe either.

 

Hi there,

It looks like a bug. You should be able to change it from the instance.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Hi Panagiotis,

I can indeed change the timeframe from the instance as per you screenshot, but the problem is when you change it there the chart on the finished backtesting tab is not changed, it stays on the timeframe of when you ran the backtest.

Kind regards

Beyers

Hi Cnicholasdownie,

No this is not possible and we do not have plans to add such an option. You cannot change the chart timeframe while the cBot is running.

Panagiotis, what about after the visual backtest has finished? Technically the bot is not running anymore, so why are we not able to change the timeframe then, but keep the backtest trade history?

I have to agree Andrew, every single time I recompile my bot I have to change all the backtesting and optimization settings back to what I want it to be by default.
