Hi tgjobscv,

There is no option to change the sound at the moment.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Is there still no work-around, no place where the current sound is stored on our hard-drives,
where we can replace the sound ourselves?

(It must be using some type of sound file, .WAV or .MP3 or something)

P.S.
I really wish cTrader would listen more to feedback (or give a workaround).
This sound is terrible quality (cracking, making it even more annoying,
extremely loud (compared to the volume of other sounds in both cTrader and on the computer in general,
so turning down the volume wouldn't work) and just an annoying.sound.

Hi Robert,

It in not a this way vs the other way case. It is just an extra feature that is missing. While we understand that this is a handy feature for traders, by adding this will we will have to load the server with even more tasks i.e. checking all positions if and when should the TSL kick in, which translates into having to allocate more resources on our side. It always boils down to finding the balance between features and efficiency. And since this is an easy feature to be programmed into a cBot and be managed on the client side, we chose not to include it as a built in feature for the moment. 

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

I'll try that client side cbot workaround, but aren't those dependend on your computer - and cTrader - being on at all times,
as it's not executed by your servers?

I appreciate you have to weigh things, but I disagree with it being an extra feature to the trailing SL.
It fundamentally is what a trailing SL is in this case (not only as a standard but most of all, due to what its function is
(which I won't repeat but the OP and I as well mentioned in a previous post).
It's why people are surprised when it's not working as such on cTrader.

Since there's no plans for this to change, it would be good to make it much more clear in your demo/tutorial videos
and refer people to that cBot piece of code.

Thanks for the response though.
Enjoy your weekend.

Yes, ctrl + mouse would be great to zoom a chart!

Yes or default for zooming and a modifier key (Ctrl or Shift, Alt) for vertical or horizontal scroll,
as zoom is usually done much more often, plus you can drag the chart if you want to scroll.

Hi Robert,

We do not have such plans at the moment.

Thanks for replying,
though sad to hear that.

It's such a strange decision, do you know why it has been done this way, instead of
how normally a trailing SL works?

(The whole point of the trailing SL is to move and tighten the SL after you're
in profit, sort of like with the 'Move SL to Break-even' but then trailing and
with your own - most likely, much tighter - settings).

Second all of the above :)

PLUS a rectangle tool that has a fill -  or options in the current rectangle tool to have a fill,
not just outlines (strange the outlines only is even the default, as you're much more likely to use
a filled up shape - of any kind - than just the outlines).

PLUS a freehand drawing tool (or am I missing something, I couldn't find it!...)

PLUS yes, they should either automatically
show up on every timeframe, or have a manual sync option.

PLUS, in general I think the chart navigation and the drawing tools need to be updated to more '2.0'
style, functionality and design, instead of 90's style and navigation.
- Sometimes you can't even know which indicator is which, as their names are cut off in the indicator list
- The whole  right-click sub-sub-sub-menu structure of customizing a chart or the interface colors,
is very 90's and clumsy. You accidentally move your mouse 1 moment away from the sub-sub-sub-menu item
and you have to start over again and find the sub-menu and its sub-menu etc and the settings etc etc

cTrader is a great tool but I think it needs to pay better attention to UI/UX design of today,
including charting and menu design like on TradingView.

But also beyond charting, look at other sites that show positions in red/green (not the whole line of text and info
of the position, but usually the description 'buy' or 'sell' of your open or pending positions are in red/green)
based on whether it's a call or put positions - so you can glance and instantly know - or an option to
display the ticker in red when price goes down (or a custom color) and green when up.

Hi Eduardo_Cerejo,

Right click on your chart, go to Viewing Options > Deal Map and uncheck it. See below

Was wondering that too, thanks!
Good to know.

RE: Break-even and trailing stop

kricka said:

The Market Order 3.0 cBot has a trailing stop and also move to break-even with additional pips that can be added on to place the stop loss strategically right.

It's free to download and use on both live and demo accounts.

 

Information and download link: Market Order 3.0

Sounds great, but I'm not able to download, nor does it seem free...

When I go to the page and the download link there, you get a '403' error page.

When I register a free account (which is not secured btw, no https on a subscription form that
asks for email, password, home address, phone nr and more...) I get stuck on a backend page
that talks about subscriptions and paid products and even clicking on the home link, just
reloads the page and doesn't go to the rmmrobot homepage.

When I manually go back to the page rmmrobot download page and reload, I'm not logged in.
When I try to log in, it doesn't recognize the login details (that worked fine in the backend, after I registered).

If it's still available, please let me know where and how to get it.

Appreciate!

RE:

Spotware said:

Dear Trader,

The Trailing Stop Loss now resides on the server, it works when cTrader is closed. You can apply it when creating an order. It has also been simplified, please enter the number of pips it should trail the spot price for, and it will move every pip.

 

Hi,

Are there any plans to have actual settings for the trailing SL, separate from the regular SL
(as that's kinda the whole point with this, as somebody explained in their example. So the
trailing SL gets triggered once the regular SL price or % or pips change is hit)?

Right now, you have trailing giant stoploss at the size of your regular stoploss
as there's only 1 stoploss setting..

- Oh and is it also possible - or is there  a bot  - to have the order panel automatically change
to the actively selected market (currency/instrument) graph that is selected?

Now, you can be on a EU/USD chart, then you go to another tab with GBP/USD and the
order panel is still on EU/USD. You have to manually change it, or you have to either have your
sidebar with your bookmarks open and click on the matching one, or have to already have
an open order and click on it (as it *does* automatically change to the correct market in
those cases)

 

Thanks.
