How can i block a particular demo account from following me? I know he copies my trades to his own personal account and he does this to avoid paying fees! that is theft and this should not be allowed.

I am quite surprised that cTrader currently has very limited HotKey functions and I think the next version of cTrader should include hotkeys that does the following;
-Places buy or sell market order
-Places different types of limit and sell orders
-Closes all buy orders and/or closes all sell orders too
-To hedge position or open another position in the same direction.
I am sure a lot of people will agree that these will have a significant impact on the performance and efficiency of a Trader, especially the scalpers.

I am also having this question.
You would need a local MT4 EA to Ctrader Cbot copier system like i described above

Hi there,
I have been testing this indicator out and it seems to not be as whole as the MT4 version. I have attached both of the codes for anyone to please to look through and determine what's missing
and possibly put it in order.

Hello friends.
I'm new to Ctrader / forum and I need your help, please.
I need a bot that moves my stop loss (1 pip of profit / 1 pip of stop towards the trade) for swing trade operations.
I found bots in CAlgo that do that, but they do sales and purchases too. I need a bot just to move my stop loss. Can you help me?
Tks.
Valter.
Have you been able to get this done?

Hi there,
In my quest to establish a trade copying system between MT4 and Ctrader, I installed MQL-ZMQ bindings and have my MT4 running as a server.
The last hurdle is having a working Cbot receiver that picks from the MT4 Server.
I will attach the MT4ServerZmq.Mq4 file which i hope will be of use in modifying the Cbot receiver sample code i also have attached.

Does it print out an exception?
If not, after you read the file in, print out a random line number (like 5) to the log and see if it prints anything.
this will at least confirm whether or not it's reading the file in.
I appreciate your response,
This is the error message that generates right before the bot crashes.

This error comes after the log prints out number one (1). so that confirms it's reading the file in
