Hi FireMyst,
At the moment there is no release notes for minor updates. We try to update the relevant threads when fixes are released and also report the changes in our Telegram group.
Best Regards,

No worries.
Have any of these been fixed yet?

(if your response, " That is not so clear, currently in that case `TradeResult.IsSuccessful = true; TradeResult.ErrorCode = null`. In future versions it will be more clear, `ErrorCode` won't be null. " has been implemented yet?)
Thank you.

Hi alphabet_asa,
PipValue will give you the value of a pip in your account's currency. If your account currency is the same with the quote currency then PipValue and PipSize will match.
Best Regards,
Panagiotis
Thank you for the reply! If that's the case then how do I get the currency's exchange rate?
HI @alphabet_asa:
Unless I'm missing something, isn't that what the Forex quote (Symbol.Bid, Symbol.Ask) is showing?
For example, if you're looking at the AUDUSD forex pair, and the price quoted is 0.68, then the exchange rate is 1 AUD = $0.68 USD.
Similarly, if you're looking at USDAUD, and the price quoted is $1.46, then the exchange rate is 1 USD = $1.46 AUD.
If you're looking at a foreign market index, then lookup the forex pair of your currency vs that index's currency. Thus, if you're trading the US Dow (US30), and your local currency is New Zealand Dollars, then get the symbol price for either USDNZD or NZDUSD, following the examples above depending on which currency is listed first in the forex pair.

How reverse profitable green to red color ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How reverse less red to green ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where is setting ?
Why ?
Becouse green relaks me.
Red increse.
I know I suggested and provided this feedback to Spotware a while ago too. Every other charting package allows the user to set different colors for indicators to show whether their values are increasing or decreasing. For whatever reason, Spotware hasn't implemented this basic feature. So until then, it's left to you as the user to either develop your own indicator which does it, or find indicators that have the option.

Hi FireMyst,
Yes please, if you can record a video it would be helpful.
Best Regards,
Panagiotis
I've figured out how to reproduce it one way.
1) Create an indicator where Overlay = false
2) Load it onto a chart in cTrader and set a Level property of 0 to color yellow.
3) Save the chart as a template
4) load the indicator's source code in Visual Studio
5) make some changes to it.
6) Save and recompile the indicator
7) Load up cTrader
8) The Level 0 line on the indicator will probably be gone
9) reload the template
10) the line reappears
11) close and reopen cTrader. The line disappears again.
12) reload the template to have the line reappear
13) change the visual studio code and recompile the indicator
14) the Level 0 line will reset and disappear again.
15) reload the template
16) close cTrader
17) reopen cTrader and the line is gone again.
18) delete the indicator.
19) reapply the indicator to the chart and change the level 0 line to yellow.
20) save the template.
21) close/reopen cTrader.
Now the line will stay on the chart until the code is updated again. At that point, the settings for the Level lines do not stay.
Hope this helps.

Yup. Here it is. Looking at it further now, it seems like the values might be changing slightly for the lines to disconnect, but then I don't understand why the lines reconnect when it's redrawn.

RE:
Panagiotis Charalampous said:
Hi FireMyst,
Shouldn't it be flipped when the close price passes through and not the high/low?
Best Regards,
Panagiotis
Yes. And the CLOSE did pass through it. When a candle is open, the close is the current price until the actual candle closes. I believe that's what the cbot frame returns with MarketSeries.Close.Last(0) for every OnTick.
Thus when the price went down through the PSAR to form the low, the close would have passed the PSAR, and should have flipped it.
Here's an example from another broker's platform:

I haven't forgotten -- just haven't been able to reproduce this issue in a way to record a video. I just got a cTrader update for Pepperstone today, so it may be resolved too.
If it does happen and I'm able to reproduce, I'll post here to let you know before sending a video.

@Panagiotis:
I've had the same issue as @zedodia, but haven't been able to pin it down to specific steps to reproduce. If your team needs to see it, the best I can probably do is record a small video showing how I set andsavea template, and then come back later, have the workspace load, and not all the template settings are held.

Hi FireMyst,
Can you try installing the package using NuGet? I just did it and works like a charm.
Best Regards,
Panagiotis
Thanks for the suggestion. I did this twice through Visual Studio.
The first time I thought it went ok as everything worked in Visual Studio.
With your reply, I went through and did it again, and like you said, it's working for me now too.
So thank you. I'm not sure what happened the first time around. I suppose I should have tried installing it again before posting. :-/

RE:
zedodia said:
I have done this so many times its now past frustrating. When i save a layout, and switch between layouts, not all layouts stay saved. For example, no matter how many times i save a layout, when i revert back to it, it takes ctrader out of full screen, and makes the tradewatch cover around 75% of the ctrader program. and the layout had no trade watch active when saved (everytime). Templates are a little better, how ever i find if i save a new setting over an old template, the new setting does not save.
is this a bug everyone has drama with? or just me? its been happening for along time.
I've found that with templates, when I save one that includes Indicators where "IsOverlay = false" with a level line color defined (eg, I put a dotted yellow line on level 0), it doesn't always remember when I exit cTrader and then come back later or the next day. So I have to right-click and select the template to reload it with the level lines drawn in the correct color instead of the default black.

If you want to draw text on a chart, Chart.DrawText is your friend:
Example:
Chart.DrawText("X text", "X", MarketSeries.Close.Count - 1, Symbol.Bid, Color.Goldenrod);You can also search for examples:
Not text - I want to draw a shape ("X" for example) on the candlestick when the price crosses over Hull MA.
Then you have to draw lines. But you'll have to decide how far you want the lines to extend, and how steep ofan angle to form the "x". For instance, you might have to draw one line with the coordinates (x-2, priceCrossPoint + 2) and (x+2, priceCrossPoint - 2). That will draw from top left to bottom right. You'll have to do the same for the other leg.
The DrawText approach is a lot simpler to get started so you can see if you like how it's working. Then from there I would graduate to drawing the lines to form the X.

Hi Friends,
I am looking for a perfect cbot/Algo which can perform well (10%-15% monthly) and a DD upto 35%, is there any with good support ?
Of course there is. That's why everyone has time to be on these forums -- their copy of the bot is running, bringing in money for them while everyone else in the world has to work. ;-)

Hi FireMyst,
Indeed that solves the issue but in a weird way :) What I would havedone would be to exit the method if the closed position was not created by this instance. See below
private void Positions_Closed(PositionClosedEventArgs args) { Position p1 = args.Position; if(p1.Label != _positionLabel) return;Best Regards,

Nice one. I like it. I'm going to use it. Thanks! :-)

RE:

Hi FireMyst,
You do not check anywhere if the closed position was actually created by this instance. So if it has been created by another instance on the same symbol then the positions of this instance will be closed as well.
Best Regards,
Panagiotis
Thanks!
I found the bug thanks to your feedback. I had to change the foreach loop to the following, replacing _positionLabel with p1.Label:
foreach (Position p in Positions.FindAll(p1.Label, Symbol.Name))
{ /... }

RE:
Panagiotis Charalampous said:
Hi FireMyst,
You should add a condition in Positions_Closed to be executed only when the closed position has the same same label as _positionLabel. Else the method will be executed when positions from other instances are closed, eventually closing all positions of the account.
Best Regards,
Panagiotis
Hi @Panagiotis:
I do that don't I?
Line 56.
I only get the historical position that has the same label, symbol, and tradetype as the position that was closed.
I then check to make sure it's found (eg, the historical trade isn't null).
The next if statement on line #58 will only evaluate to true if the exact matching historical trade is found.
So to me it looks like it's finding everything under the symbol, regardless of the label. Otherwise, HT would be null.
?

HI @Panagiotis:
Thank you for the updates. I think you need to at least update thread 22129 then to indicate to everyone it has been resolved :-)
As for Telegram - we have the forums - how hard is it to create a separate forum and/or a read-only thread and include the updates there? Users should not have to download another application and join yet another Spotware group in that application to now find out the latest updates.
Or is Spotware going to put a Directory on their website that tells users what they should do and where they should go to get certain information?
etc etc etc.
Getting a bit ridiculous don't you think?
How many 3rd party applications, services, and systems does Spotware want us to sign up to in order to use and get information on their products?
