RE:

Mate I think you would have to post your code to make accusations like this. Have you got some randomness in your code logic?

Hi ya

 

I've been doing a lot of back tests on Ctrader and have noticed that it seems flawed. The system returns different result each time, doesn't trade at all the opportunities and reliably returns losses. I came to this realisation because I noticed that it was returning reliable losses and so had an algo made the did the opposite. However it still returned losses and did not do the same trades. If I have 2 ctraders open and run the same test with the same algo over the same dates I get different results. If I close the program, open again, enter the same data and rescan I get different results.

 

I can't see how the system is usable if it is so unreliable. I have tested both Clickalgo algo's and a freelancers and Ctrader just seems so unreliable.

 

Does anyone else have this problem?

 

Thanks

 

Adam

Hi patrick.sifneos@gmail.com,

Thanks for posting in our forum and reporting this issue. Can you please post a sample cBot that we could use to reproduce this issue?

Best Regards,

I think this is still true.

Hi burakocak1903,

Thanks for your suggestion. We will be definitely adding this feature in a future release.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

This feature has definitely not been added yet in my experience. Its probably something that should be configured separately for backtesting?

RE: Delete old demo accounts or reset balances

With the smart client it does not look like there is a x to delete the old demo accounts or maybe is there a way to reset their balances?

RE:

So sorry mate I ment to type poll! So I can use the TickDataReq to poll for any new tickdata up to the last millisecond and if I don't get any new data I will just sleep for a milli sec and then try again?

PanagiotisCharalampous said:

Hi acrigney,

I do not understand what do you mean when you say "pool". You can get historical tick data using ProtoOAGetTickDataReq and you can get spot prices streamed to you using ProtoOASubscribeSpotsReq.

Hi acrigney,

Change it to the below

 var type = "Received: " + OpenApiMessagesPresentation.ToString(protoMessage);

RE: RE:

acrigney said:The problem was that I added this statement to the listen function that was causing it to crash

var type = String.Format("Received: " + OpenApiMessagesPresentation.ToString(protoMessage));

The error is "Input string was not in a correct format." I don't see why this doesn't work.

Weird mate! must be something wrong with my machine, I rebooted before I will try that again.

RE: Chart show -103% but shows only a small ending equity.

This algo again has no loosing trades, a profit and small ending equity but why does the chart show -103%

tasr1r1 said:

Hi Panagiotis

 

Thank you for  your explanation.

Imho, 'Total Trades' should reflect opened and closed position for better analysis so coder can trace which trades i.e. sale or buy which caused the MC.

Hope this can be reflected in the Trade Statistic report in the future.

RE:

Mate my broker just got back to me today and told me they need to give me access to the Open API.

Here was the comment from them.
 

I have just spoken to our operation team manager, we are very happy to offer you the Open API from our end.

If you would like us to put this on your trading account, please reply to confirm with your trading account number, so I can lodge a request soon from my side.

Here is my client id/secret

  private string _clientId = "496_vI2DH0hQustu5QVfgvrAzjfXABcOsMjxvZ5CdS5YJJFPrGsgp7";
        private string _clientSecret = "Tp3VYWgbIE5QPbLNlVvdzVZf8v4RZ5uznovfOFJvHJHueqQuDo";

and here are some tokens from one of my brokers.
        private string _accountToken = "oTDQmYI80fl841VS7JwSt3bG1lAG5YriqxA_cfpz4lM";
        private string _tradeToken = "p0mvYdG78l369cjdeUmAh3r5Fs2GCqLUaAoewAglGOE";
        private string _apiHost = "demo.ctraderapi.com";
 

PanagiotisCharalampous said:

Hi Alistair,

Please send me clientID, clientSecret and a valid token at community@spotware.com and I will have a look at what is going on.

RE:

Thanks mate, its the first time I have used the Open API in a long time, it fails every time now. I contacted my broker and they sent me this

Pepperstone current account holders with a minimum of AUD$250m trading volume per month may apply for a FIX Demo Environment to test our FIX Capabilities.

If you'd like to discuss API trading, please email premium@pepperstone.com.

But the Open API is not a FIX api?

PanagiotisCharalampous said:

Hi Alistair,

No environment connection means that the server of the broker of this account is not linked to our Open API proxy. Do you get this message on a consistent basis or was it something temporary?

Hi Alistair,

These are not account numbers but account IDs (ProtoOATrader.ctidTraderAccountId). If you want to get the trading account number use the ProtoOATrader.traderLogin field.

Dear Support,

I am running the CTrader Open API and I have created a CTrader Open API application on their web site according to their instructions.
However when I run the sample application I do not see my list of accounts and I get a permission error when I attempt to trade on my demo account with you.
The problem is that the Open API account numbers are different to the account numbers that you have given me for my account acrigney@gmail.com

Here is the response from the Open API.
