Great Idea!

Thank you for that suggestion oguti!

That is a great idea! You see, it's ideas like these that will make trading software more efficient, complete and well-rounded.

We as traders don't need any more useless "indicators" or "robots" or any other thing that takes our minds away from the movement of price or makes us lazy.

What we do need are useful tools and better ways to improve our workflow and usage of our applications in general to make better decisions and keep us focused on making money and growing our capital :)

Final Revision #04

Final Revision Because I Do Not See A Way To Delete My Previous Posts...LOL!

Let's say I want to enter a quantity of 8 separate Pending BUY Stop orders at a Lot/Volume size of 0.20 each on the GBP/NZD pair as quickly as possible.

The order menu could display something like this below. This would be similar to the Advanced Take Profit feature inside of cTrader but even more customizable:

"Customizable Multiple Order Entry Menu"

  • Instrument Type = FOREX
  • Instrument/FX Pair Name = GBP/NZD
  • Order Type = Market, Pending Stop, Limit, OCO [Pending Stop Orders Selected]

  • Lot/Volume Size of Each Order = 0.20 [20,000 Units]
  • All Orders at Same Entry Price = Yes OR No [Yes Selected]
  • Entry Price For All Orders = 2.0250
  • Total Quantity of Orders Entered {Enter 1-50 Orders} = 8  [Set Custom Entry Prices if No was chosen above including T/P's and S/L's here]
    • Order #01 Entry Price = 2.0250   |   T/P In Pips OR Price = 55 Pips   |   S/L In Pips OR Price = At Price 0.0000

Here's How I Got my cTID to finally work!

Hi sprex,

Okay here is what I did to get my cTID to work because I was having much difficulty with getting it to work for me too...LOL!

1. First make sure to go to the main cTDN Home page then click on the Forum Tab --->>> http://www.ctdn.com

2. My problem was that I never signed up for a cTDN Forum account first, so if you need to do that again just go and create a unique account in the cTDN Forum section.

3. After creating your CTDN Forum account with unique username and password, they will send you a verification code to your e-mail address that you use with one of your cTrader Desktop or cTrader Web accounts. Your Forum username and password will be what you enter for your cTID inside of cTrader Web. This is different from your seven digit or eight digit account login and four digit account password!

4. After you complete all of those things open up cTrader Web and first login to one of your accounts. (At this stage make sure to use your seven or eight digit account number and your four digit password for one of your trading accounts).

5. Now, in order to link your cTDN Forum username and cTID to your Trading account click on the Workspaces tab and on the Login Tab clear those two fields. Now enter your same name that you use here at the Forum. So, for you, you should be able to enter "sprex" as your cTrader ID and then enter the same password that you use for this Forum and click Login and it should work! I know it's confusing and the CTrader team needs to make the cTID sign-up easier to understand because it took me forever to figure it out!

6. Now you should see your username "sprex" in the top right corner of cTrader Web. Hover over your username and there you can change the password if you like. I do not know if this works for the cTrader desktop version yet but it does work for cTrader Web.

7. You can link other cTrader accounts if you use different cTrader applications from different brokers and link them all under your same cTDN Forum username "sprex". Just login to your other broker cTrader apps and click Workspaces, then enter your username "sprex" and your Forum password and then when you hover over your username in the top right corner you will see multiple accounts where it says "Linked Accounts".

7. Now you can save your custom Chart Templates and Workspaces and Load them whenever and however you like I guess :)

Here are some pics...

I hope that helps you and any others out there

Revised Menu

I made a few typing errors but here is the fixed menu here:

Can a feature be implemented inside cTrader or a cAlgo Robot be made that allows the following:

  1. The ability to quickly set multiple orders all at once and as many as we like {from 1 to 50 Orders} [Market Orders, Pending Stop Orders, Limit Orders, OCO Orders, etc.]
  2. The ability to set custom volume size or lot size for each order
  3. The ability to set Take Profit and Stop Loss Levels for each order entered and spread them apart exactly how we like or even set them all at the same T/P or S/L level [similar to the advanced

For example:

Let's say I want to enter a quantity of 8 separate Pending BUY Stop orders at a Lot/Volume size of 0.20 each on the GBP/NZD pair as quickly as possible. The order menu could display something like this below:

"Fast Multiple Order Entry Menu"

  • Instrument Type = FOREX

  • Order Direction For Set of Trades = BUY OR SELL [BUY Selected]

  • All Orders at Same Entry Price = Yes OR No [Yes Selected]
  • Entry Price For All Orders = 2.0250
  • Total Quantity of Orders Entered {Enter 1-50 Orders} = 8  [Set Custom Entry Prices if No was chosen above including T/P's and S/L's here]

G'Day Don,

I too had problems getting the cTrader ID (cTID) to work but read my post to see how I finally got it functioning correctly.

The cTrader team did not fully explain or make the process user-friendly or intuitive and I know it left many users confused.

But fear not my friend because I have the solution!

Yes, cTrader does need an adjustable Font Size feature...will be very handy indeed. And to the first poster...

In MT4, yes you can change the font size but first you have to input text and there is a section in the properties window where you can even change text to big sizes like 90-100 if you want to put the name of your symbol on your chart and change the color to a light color like silver or gray.
