Is the cTrader Team ever going to develop custom fibonacci tools???

The ability to customize colours, thickness and line styles of retracements and expansions are crucial for some styles of trading.

If not, could you direct me to a cAlgo that could implement such features???

Cheers

Yep. And this would be great as well. But if this isn’t possible, please at least get the default colour one selects to actually stay as the default colour and not change every time u use another object with a different colour

Amazing, thank you!!! But when is 4.0 going to be available for desktop? Mine is still on 3.8 and from what I can see, it's only available on web at the moment?? 

FYI I trade with IC Markets if that is necessary to know

Hi there,

I would like to suggest something that almost every forex trader would want to see in Ctrader, a risk/reward tool that facilitates the calculation. Sometimes we need to act quick and this is just something so important, to be able to quickly add our entry on the right spot. 

With so many nice features built, how come that such an important tool is still to be developed? 

Would this be something you would be able to deliver soon? 

 

Thanks a lot!

Click Algo do one but tbh it is a bit clunky and I didn't get on with it.. I ended up buying a Magic Keys, and it's probably the best investment I've ever made towards my trading. Instant execution, partial stop losses, auto position size calculations by dragging stop lines etc etc. $155 shipped for free from Canada, you can't go wrong. Wish I'd bought one a long time ago!!

Hide the indicator.
The cTrader allows you to hide the drawing, but you cannot do the same with the indicator. An easy-to-enter option would be very useful.

Agree with this, best solution at the moment is to just setup different templates. For example I trade mostly on a naked chart, but every now and then want to see what the ATR is and / or have a quick look at where price is in comparison to certain period moving averages etc, and so I just quickly change to my template with them on momentarily. Not ideal, but tbh to hide any indicators would also mean having to click the hide indicator button, so it's not much more effort really :)

Dear Suppot Service,

I would prefer you to have a look at my last position (GBPAUD at 1.82667 Entry Point at 03/11/2020 23:38:09) where I think there has been an error in the entry price. It has been placed too far (Ask price?) when it was H1.82248 at 23:35 (5min frame). I am in a process of learning in this account. Therefore, I would appreciate an explanation. Was thatthe leverage of the pair, or why has the entry price been on a price not reached at that time.

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Would just be slippage mate. Happens a lot. Sometimes in your favour, sometimes against you. Google slippage and all will be clear :)

In cTrader I often drag line objects away accidentally when moving chart,then I have to drag them back to right positions. It's pretty annoying. Maybe if you add a setting of "double-click selecting objects" would be nice. Also add a switch which can toggle all objects' selectability.

Yes, this is 100% needed. Also, for example, if you draw a huge triangle on the monthly/weekly chart as an example, and then try to move and drag the chart around on the lower time frames, because price is within your triangle, all it does is move the triangle around lol. 

And another thing which is related is, say you want to put a pending limit/stop order within (again, just as an example which I encounter a lot) a zone that you've marked out with a rectangle, you can't. It automatically opens the properties for that rectangle. Granted, it's not difficult to right click and add the order above/below the zone and then drag it into it, BUT, if you're wanting to place the order very quickly, that adds to the time it takes to do it.

God this platform could be so damn good. I don't get why so many simple, basic things aren't a part of it already. And for those that aren't, with constantly repeated posts of suggestions on here asking for the same things over and over again, how they're not sorted and added more quickly.

I would like to know why you did not record the correct high yesterday with CAD JPY? It is a demo account but doesnt inspire confidence to invest real money... 78.423 should have been recorded as the high which was above my TP

Please explain

 

Mate, this is a regular noob worry / question (I had to once learn it the hard way too! haha).....I'll try to explain what's happened....you have to understand and take into account firstly the spread, and secondly, which value the candles are printed by.  Firstly - when buying IE.. if u were short, your stop loss on a short position would be for a buy order - you buy at the ASK price line.. the highest of the two... BUT, if the candles are printed on your chart by the highest bid price that was traded (which is normally the case), then you will see this happen.  Price has got up to and traded at BID price close to your stop and printed as such.. But what has actually happened is that price has also traded at the ask price (where your stop was) and so you have been stopped out.  It happens sometimes, and especially when there is low liquidity such as through the night when the spreads are wide.  And of course, the same would be true on sell stops for the opposite direction if your candles were printed according to the ask price.

 

Hope this makes sense.  

And to add to this - beware when high impact news events etc are being released too, because the spreads can get stupid wide, and you might even be onside in profit by 10/20/30 pips, but then suddenly, the spreads widen like mad, you get stopped out for a loss, when according to the candles, the price looks as though it never even got back to your entry price. Just bear it in mind! That's why I stay away from news and get out of any positions before. This is the good thing about demo trading though... you find this stuff out when it doesn't count :)
