Hi there,

The issue is under investigation and will be resolved asap.

Thanks,
Notifications started again about 3 hours ago.

Just FYI but assume you are probably aware, the notifications are currently showing UNKNOWN for the asset type i.e. “SELL position for UNKNOWN of 1.00 closed successfully”

Cheers

Hi Rob,

Does this happen on all symbols or a specific one? Can you share the broker, the symbol and a screenshot?

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Hi there,
Yesterday it was for all asset types.

But when I got up this morning it was now working correctly.

Thanks
Rob

I have just found this thread whilst searching for the same issue.  Same as the OP - ICMarkets allow 0.1 lot sizing on MTx, etc., but in cTrader, it seems to be restricted to 1.0 lots only. Shame, as I signed up specifically to use cTrader. 

Yeah I too have come across the same issue.
US30 minimum you can trade through cTrader is 1 lot but icMarkets say you can trade smaller amounts, issue seems specific to cTrader and icMarkets.

Strange they don't bother to fix it.

Good on you for having separate Dev/Production environments :-)

To answer your question, just copy the resulting .algo files over from one machine to the other, and double-click to install.

There's nothing fancy about it. Copy however you want (network share, memory stick, even by attaching to an email and then downloading the attachment on your trading machine)

On your live trading machine, just copy the algo files into the:

1) C:\Users\ [your windows username] \Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Robots for your robots

2) C:\Users\ [your windows username] \Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Indicators for your custom indicators

Thanks for that!
Cheers

RE:

Then why not just create your own function that does the same thing?

Should be straight forward.

Just a simple for-loop going through each bar in the data series except the current bar, and compare the values?

Well if you read my original post you will see that's exactly what I am doing, but I had wondered whether I was missing something obvious and was just reinventing the wheel, hence why I posted on this forum to hear from people with more experience at coding cBots about how they were dealing with what should be a common issue.

What do you have for your "Period" setting?

According to the API documentation, the "HasCrossed" should look back the number of bars equal to "period" and see if the values have crossed during that time:

So if you have a period of 1, it should look back over the last 1 bars to see if the values have crossed. If you set period to 2, it should look over the last 2 bars to see if the values have crossed, etc etc.

If not, then please post sample code showing the issue so everyone can see what you're doing and how.

Thank you.

Thanks for the response but I think you slightly misunderstand the API....

A period of 0 looks at only the current bar whilst a period of 1 looks at BOTH the current and the previous bars, and therefore a period of 2 looks at a total of 3 Bars, the current, the previous and the one before that.

Whatever period you use it will ALWAYS include the current unclosed bar in its calculation.

The documentation actually explicitly warns about the problem of these functions when it states:
 It is not uncommon that the function will return true and by the end of the bar the two series will uncross.

It about as strong a warning as you can get to not use these functions........

If I'm not mistaken, RMA is the same thing as Wilder Smoothed Moving Average, which is already available.

No it isn't, that's why, for example, in TradingView you can select either WMA or RMA as a MA type.

The main difference between WMA and RMA is in the way they are calculated. WMA assigns weights to each price data point based on the number of periods chosen for the moving average. The most recent price data is given more weight, while older prices are given less weight. This means that the WMA responds more quickly to price changes than the RMA.

On the other hand, the RMA assigns equal weight to each price data point over the specified time period, but adjusts the weight assigned to each data point based on the volatility of the price movement during that time period. This means that the RMA is less sensitive to short-term price fluctuations and is more useful for identifying long-term trends.
