RE:
Yes mate my boss have FullAccess but still no luck with any of the recent versions including the latest my broker TopDx has which is 4.6.6
Can you post a video showing creating and debugging a bot please?

Hi acrigney,
Did you set your cBot's access rights to FullAccess?

RE:
Dear Alex,
I have developed a generic ML framework using Microsoft's ML.NET that uses templated types called generics. Not sure of your programming experience but that means that if you give me a data stream I can very quickly build models. With Python ML there is no generic interface for the ML libraries so they have to copy and paste their code for every problem. This makes it very hard to build generic solutions! I have used my ML framework for trading for about 2 years now but you also need the catching/recovery/filtering options which are just as important. However I found that the minute data was not accurate enough with ctrader and I have tried using the tick data but this gave models that converged nicely but gave inconsistent results. So now I am back to using minute data but I have added renko data and also derivatives. I have many types of models too, but I have not used models on multi timeframes and maybe I should do that. There was another problem that it was a huge change to move to .net 6. I have had to rebuild a very large amount of code, it should have been easy but many issues had to be fixed and also I am still unable to attach the debugger to my bots and I have complained to ctrader many times but they just say it works and a lot of other people have this problem too. I don't think chatgpt is going to work unless you are thinking of long term trades as in over days or hrs. I think the longest timeframe you can trade is a minute as the market can move so fast. But I want to incorporate chatgpt too as well maybe for stock/options trading. I trade on the index markets.
I would love you to join me in my efforts and testing, its been very hard to find traders who are interested in using ML!! My ML uses AutoML, that means that it will find the best mode and auto feature engineering while the model is being built. Also it can tell you why it has made the prediction for every prediction.
Best Regards,
Alistair

Good Day,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request your assistance on building a simple indicator that has machine learning capability. Suppose a momentum indicator that has been fed with 2 years of machine learning data and can forecast only 1 bar of future data.
I understand that your time is valuable, but I would greatly appreciate any guidance or insight you can provide on this matter.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Alex

RE: Global package references not found with .net 6 bot
Not to mention that I still cannot get debugging to work in VS2022, no version works I am using VS2022 17.6.0 Preview 3

Guys I have had a lot of issues with upgrading my bots to .net 6 and my latest problem is that my nuget references are not found when the bots run.
With .net 6 we are now using PackageReference as explained here
- Performance improvements: When using PackageReference, packages are maintained in the global-packages folder (as described on Managing the global packages and cache folders rather than in a
packagesfolder within the solution. As a result, PackageReference performs faster and consumes less disk space.But I have found that I have had to manually add the references to get this to work. And this was the old way as well from reading a previous post. Moving forward manually having to add package references is really a pain when the references should just be found from the global reference. I am surprised that others don't seem to have had this problem recently?

RE: RE: Global package references not found with .net 6 bot
I see other people are getting their questions answered. I fixed the issue as I found that the normal package references are not supported and you have to include all of the references that a package has internally, I was hoping that they could be picked up by the global references but they are not.
Also it seems that the robustness of ctrader has suffered since the upgrade to .net 6, e.g now I have to build twice, once in visual studio but ctrader still says that the bot has changed and needs to be rebuilt so I have to click the build button in ctrader. Actually the compile speed was has greatly improved thought!

And I think its a ridiculous idea that you would have to rebuild a bot just to debug it.

RE: Freezes happen all the time
Guys its been months now and still the stability of the new versions that you added for support of .net 6 have made the platform very unstable.
I have very high performance computers colocated in NY and London and my PC at home and I regularly am seeing the screen freeze when I change bot instances and I am still unable to debug ANY old bot or new bot built with .net 6.

Hi procumulative@gmail.com,
Thanks for the feedback, I will forward to the product team for investigation. Note that cTrader 3.0 was in Beta for the last three months. I would also suggest that you make a clean installation and let us know if it resolves the issues.

RE:
Yes this is an issue, I have seen many new bugs created since the new version came out, e.g. being unable to debug which was working fine for 3 years, freezing of the screen when you change instances, bots suddenly requiring to be recompiled. The trader needs to select when they want to try updates. Also ctrader is up to much higher versions but my broker Fondex is not up to the latest version anyway, is this as they need time to test new versions, and it looks like their testing is inadequate. Also myself and others have raised these issues recently but they are still not fixed. CTrader was very stable until the release of the .net 6 versions!!

I checked and alterred the rights to FullAccess. That worked partially.
The debugger wil now Launch but ....
When build in vs2022 the created binary is still not used. (See the version problem (See initial Post at "The indicator is still version 1.0 instead of the expected 1.1."
So debugging still not possible.The problem boils down to:
When building by means of VS2022, the .dll is updated but no .algo file is created in the indicators directory
When building by means of cTrader, the .dll is updated and a .algo file is created in the indicators directory
Nasty !
