In the Telegram channel, cTrader team told me that this value updates instantly and report any issues here. 

I am seeing 52% short for XAUUSD nearly more than 3 days now.

It is not updating on IOS or Windows desktop. I am using icmarkets real money account.

Is there a problem? Is there anything i need to do?

All the Best

I hope this fix also fixes the 5.x loosing connection to server many times a day issue as well, fingers crossed.

RE: What is the best way to handle tick losses?

Thank you! I will inject into Connected and Disconnected events.

If i call GetBars after a connection, will it get updated versions of existing bars or just load more older bars?

RE: Interesting Equity drawdown calculation in backtesting

Hi Panagiotis,

So, if before a single opening position, i had a balance of 10K. 

After closing this single position my balance becomes 15K.

And if i saw 5K as minimum equity while i have this position. 

What is my equity drawdown for this trade process?

I would expect to see 5K because i needed to have at least 5K available margin to keep this trade open.

RE: cTrader 5.0.20 MacOS bot error

Sorry, i can not share the source code. 

As far as i guess; this looks like a sync issue. cTrader could not load values for currency conversion so it couldn't work. I remember seeing a blue line at the top of the app, going left and right. I guess this happens when cTrader is trying to reconnect or something like that. This happens a lot in in mac version 5.0.20 and very very rare in old windows version 4.9.1.

All the Best

I also saw this messages just before this error:

04.10.2024 13:08:05.026 | Error | An attempt to get related symbols required for conversion of 'USD' to 'EUR' failed.
04.10.2024 13:08:05.026 | Error | An attempt to get related symbols required for conversion of 'USD' to 'EUR' failed.

I hope it helps. I have a EUR account with icmarkets.

RE: Issue with Code Building under Visual Studio since lastest version of cTrader 4.8.30 (Instance issue)

Hi,

I am having the same issue with 4.9.1 version. I know you released 5.0 (20). I did not test the situation in 5.0.

Is there workaround at least for the moment? I am asking because it is more comfortable to code in Visual Studio 2022

All the best

Hi PureForm,

This is by design. Since in backtesting you can choose from where to start you can load as many bars as you want. If your indicator needs more bars, just start the backtesting from an earlier date so that the bars are loaded.

Why is this by Design, What is the issue here?

Is it server load than the argument  is voided.
As people will have to start their backtest earlier still the same amount of data will be loaded from the server, so no wins there for Spotware or the brokers.

If there is an other issue please explain. Because I know all developers and traders agree on the fact that Backtesting should simulate live as much as possible.
So making weird constructs with two dates in backtesting is not a real option.

Please take this up with the development guys. IMHO it should be changed ASAP.

RE: Overnight fees

Hi PanagiotisCharalampous ,

I see in cTrader 4.9.1 i see overnight totals in the summary. Is there a way i can calculate these programmatically? Like markets open hours, is there something for historical overnight fees?

RE: solved

bishbashbosh said: 

as you were - just found another forum post with the same problem from last year 

Never mind, figured out there's a property that can be set which bypasses the build.

Add the below snippet to your library .csproj file:

<PropertyGroup>  <AlgoBuild>False</AlgoBuild></PropertyGroup>

Hope that helps someone else.

Helped me, Thanks! ❤️

If not implemented yet; please implement with using the native metal library so it will use the raw power of Mac GPU 😎

Hi, 

Is there any update on this? Ive just bought a macbook thinking it would be standard to have cTrader as a platform as it is on my windows PC. I should have checked! However it would be great to know if one is going to be coming out in the near future? 

Giorgio

Hi Giorgio,

We do not plan to offer cTrader for Mac at the moment.

Mac especially M1 compatible pls

After working with a mac with M1 max cpu. I no longer see intel machines as computer. Please please please make a version which supports M1 architecture. It will make the backtesting much more efficient.
