A great improvements coming with v.3.00 and especially now with v3.01! It's been a long time of waiting for some of these recently introduced functionality and I'm very happy seeing them now available!
Please also focus on the mobile version now - the recent upgrade (though I understend the reasons behind) actually removed a lot of functionality and unlike on the desktop platform it represents a big move backwards (at least for me). Bring those functions back please and you're going to have a very powerful multi-platform system set

Hi Denis,
thank you for your explanation and reasoning behind such a radical change of your mobile trading app. I can understand you needed/wanted to change the concept which probably limited the further development and had to be changed.
However, what about if I did not update my app automatically and still used the previous version? Does it mean my app would have stopped working without any warning and despite having opened positions? I hope not because that would make your solution very unpredictable and untrustworthy for the future. On the other hand, if this wouldn't be the case and I could still use the older version for trading even today then I cannot see any reason why I could not return to using the same old version if you just provided the apk file directly (not via the app store).
Actually I was able to google and install the older version for the Pepperstone Group Limited app and that one still works just fine so the backoffice technology does not seem to have changed that much. I just was not so lucky about the Pepperstone Limited (London based users), which I need. (I can only use demo account on the former)
Anyways, I can see a major informational deficit towards the end users and regarding the trading system updates which makes me start rethinking my eartlier decision to use cTrader platform as this is totally unacceptable when it comes to a trading app. My current balance was very low but I would think twice trading any larger portfolio now with cTrader. If you want to keep your end users then you really need to review this approach.
As for the features I miss and would like to see back again (well you should never release an app with less features in the first place), here comes my list (all features existed before):
- positions on the chart
- dark theme and customization
- drawings on the chart (common, trading app without any possibility to draw lines???)
- customizable indicators (many options are now missing, not mentioning the color customizations - whithout which the chart becomes a mess in a minute, like all MAs using the same color, Bollinger Bands with all 3 lines using the same color)
- double-tap trading (not a single-tap which is quite a hazardous nonsense on a mobile!)
- more efficient screen layout - in general, there's much less information fit on the sceen now (e.g. 3 symbols on the watchlist instead of 6, overview chart too small and cannot be resized etc.etc. I know this applies the newer material desing language but the practicality suffers)
There would be many more but this is the core
BR,
Vitore

Hi Panagiotis,
hard to beleive that you would permanently delete all of your previous versions. Of course older versions ARE available, you just don't want to make it accessible for some reason. But why would you do that? What's a problem with using an older version until the new one is improved to the usable state? What made you destroy (somewhat) working app and replace it by so much worse product??

Hi leohermoso,
This is planned for the next release of cAlgo which should be out really soon.
Best Regards,

Hi Panagiotis,
that's great to hear as I also experienced the same error recently. Could you be more specific regarding what "really soon" means? Days? Would it be out during this month (February 2018)? I'm asking to know wheter I shall start implementing some workaround or just wait. Knowing that I would need to wait for more than one or two weeks is rather important for me.
Thank you

Hi Panagiotis,
could you provide any insight into when the v3.01 could be released to production for brokers? Would be great having the new API available on my life accounts, too
Thank you
