Can I have a signed NDA valid for the next 6 years by spotware ? In that case I can send my code over sftp .

In case not, I cannot, unfortunately.

RE:

Hi, 

Would be possible to have a list of issues/bugs fixed in this last version? 

In this way we can verify if other issues are still present. 

 

Thank you

Hi to both,

Cross broker cTrader has been updated to v4.5.6. Please let us know if you still experience this issue with the latest version.

RE: RE: Massive RAM Usage

This issue was already posted time ago in the chat , just using netbrains dotmemory you can see the issues , this off course keeps increasing , I reach 14 GB of ram occupied by ctrader at the end ..

I can also confirm that since the release of cTrader desktop version 4.2, memory usage has become a critical issue. Just running cTrader desktop alone without executing and running any cBots will see a gradual increase in memory usage until the application becomes unresponsive. Currently I have to restart cTrader at least once a day.

If this issue could be given high priority it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

To Spotware,

Just to add, prior to the cTrader 4.2 and above upgrades, I was able to run 5 cBot instances on a Beeks VPS with 2GB RAM running Windows 2012 without any trouble at all. Excessive memory usage wasn't an issue. Has cTrader version 4.2 and above with all the new changes been able to run on Windows 2012 okay when conducting your testing? Not sure if the earlier Windows OS could be the issue.or not. 

Many thanks.

RE:

Dear Spotware,

Cannot share the algo sourcecode  but I prepared a video to show better the issue, can you  indicate a mailbox or ftp where I can send it ? (eventually I can send a portion of the code relative to the advanced  SL/TP used.

 

 

 

Spotware said:

Dear trader,

Thank you for reporting this issue. Unfortunately we were not able to reproduce this behavior using a simple cBot. If you can share a cBot and exact steps that allow us to reproduce this behavior, we are happy to look at this further.

Best Regards,

cTrader Team

RE: 4.1 Connection Error

yes I got the same problem , 4.1 does not connect 

 

Xammo said:

I cannot sign in to 4.1 - can sign in to 4.5.xx on same machine no problem

Has 4.1 been declared 'end of life'?

I have not seen any announcement and am trading live with it

I would like (looks like I will have to!) trade live with 4.5.xx but other than so many problems I am seeing others reporting the biggest issue for me (hopefully the OnBar and Server.Time work properly!) is the automate display problem that has been reported by many but does not seem to be taken seriously by spotware as being a problem/no reply about it for months...

Thanks

RE:

Since many of us still use version 4.1 it will be nice to have this feature also for that version , so we can export settings into the new version.

 

notzen said:

Hi,

Save/load optimization settings would be of great help and I suppose it is a feature that can be implemented with a bit of effort .

At the moment, this parameters get sometimes lost or you have to manually insert on any new instance of the bot.

Hi Panagiotis,

how I can collect debug information ?

Please send troubleshooting information while this happens. If you can share the cBot source code it would be also helpful.

You can use our Fibonacci drawing tools which is more feature rich: Fibonacci Drawing Indicator | Algorithmic Forex Trading | cTrader Community

Or the full Pattern drawing indicator: Pattern Drawing Indicator | Algorithmic Forex Trading | cTrader Community

Hi,

 

I try it but when i change some values or parameters the buttons disappear , it will be good to have something like the fan in tradeview .

RE:

Hi ,

thanks for your feedback

the base code is this ,

unfortunately even using more instances the result is the same , except the scaling, I am not sure if there is anything else wrong . 

the indicator itself work ok and show ichimoku correctly and fix the wrong displacement in the built-in indicator (it is 26 candle from the current so candle 0 not candle 1...about that I wonder is the other lines use calculation from candle 1 or 0 as it should be start from current always in ichimoku because Japaneses count from 1 not 0...)

Hi,

I tested your code and something is wrong on it, because some of the outputs doesn't continue to the last bar.

Instead of using multiple time frames on a single indicator which makes debugging much harder for you I recommend you to use only one single time frame.

Develop an Ichimoku indicator that get just one time frame and then you can use three instance of that indicator for multiple time frames.

Regarding scaling, Ichimoku lines mostly follow the price and you should not have any scaling issue, the scaling issue occurs if your indicator lines are very far away from price series.

RE: Exporting Optimizations Setups | Indispensable

ctrader.guru said:

Congratulations for the constant updates, I would like to suggest an option that would solve many sharing problems, export optimization parameters.

It becomes impossible when a cbot has a lot of parameters and sharing them becomes impossible.

This option should have been included a long time ago, don't miss this opportunity.

Totally agree

Hi notzen,

I did not understand what the problem is and I do not see any issue with the indicator. Could you please provide a better explanation? The indicator seems to work as per the indicator's definition.

Hi,

The issue in not in the way the indicator is working but in the nunber of candles it use

the distance from the current candle (numbered as candle 0 ) and chicou spam for exsample is 26 , this seems to be right but since the current candle is 0 not 1  , the indicator is putting the chikou at a distance of 27 bars. 

this applies to the displacement of the kumo and the calculations of kijun , tenkan, senkou spam A and B.
