RE: RE: RE: cTrader 4.8.30 Trendline bug

Are you seriously comparing this little gap in Tradingview with with the nasty 50 pip trendline breaks we can find in cTrader?? Honestly, if your team does not have the technical skills to improve this, is one thing, but telling that it's “expected behaviour” it's like treating your users as if they were dumb or something. Sorry for the rudeness, but this is just unacceptable in a trading platform, where money is in the line.

Hi there, 

It's not a bug to be fixed. It's an expected behavior. It's impossible for the trendlines to match if the dimensions of the charts are different. It happens on all platforms. Here is an example from TradingView. Check the gap between the high of the 26th and the trendline on h1 and D1 timeframes

Hi there, 

It is a known behavior. This can happen due to the fact that not all days have equal number of bars therefore the time dimension of the hourly chart is not analogous to the daily chart.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Well what does this mean.. will it be fixed or not??

This doesn't happen in other charting platforms like metatrader or tradingview. If I draw a trendline, I expect it to be the same in all timeframes, you should improve your trendline projection code honestly.

You can also debug in VS code.

First build the project in Debug mode, so:

dotnet build -c Debug

Now you need to have a launch.json configuration file, with debugging instructions. This can be automatically generated:

1. Run - Add configuration. The first time it will prompt you to select a debugger, you must choose c#. This will generate the launch.json file
2. Now again, Run - Add configuration; this time you must choose the option that says .NET: Attach to .NET proccess

So once you do this, the final launch.json will look something like this:

{

    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.

    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.

    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387

    "version": "0.2.0",

    "configurations": [

        {

            "name": ".NET Core Attach",

            "type": "coreclr",

            "request": "attach"

        }

    ]

}

Now for actually debuging, you must first go to cTrader, and add an instance of your bot or indicator, and run it. Once you run it, there will be a new Windows proccess created, so if you go back to VS Code, and do Run - Start Debugging, you will be able to attach the debugger to the proccess, which will be algohost.exe; you may have multiple algohost.exe, so make sure you hover on top of each one, and look for the one that corresponds to your bot. 

You can now set you breakpoints in code, and when you go back to cTrader, you can stop and restart the instance of your bot as many times as you need, and will be able to debug in VS Code.

RE: Market Replay Multi-Timeframe

Azon said: 

Hello, I give vote too for that feature, its will be cool if if add it to platform. Because have many traders work on two or more timeframes I think. Thank you!

Let me add asset switching to the wishlist. Just let me open a new tab, and download the market replay for the same period for a different asset.

That would be the total simulation environment. Many times it's needed to see currency correlations, in order to get a feel about the market situation at that precise moment.

We'll never stop dreaming!! 🤣

RE: UserVoice

Please cTrader community. Upvote this request.

We need to be able to set a default lot size, or at least, it should default to the minimum lot size.

When we open a new chart for a forex pair, the minimum lot size is 0.01, but the chart defaults to 1.00 full lot, and this will cause accidental overleveraged trades.

Hi coship00,

At the moment default position size is the minimum position size.

Best Regards,

This is false, the default position size is 1 full lot, when the minimum is 0.01

This is another way brokers are making easy money, as every now and then retail traders will accidentally hit the button without adjusting lot size on a new chart. 

We can't forget that brokers are the ones who pay cTrader, and not actual traders, so all this is designed on purpose.

You will not have an easy way to set the default lot size

You will be able to take partial profits, but you cannot partially cut your position when trade is against you, you have to keep monitoring charts.

What an industry

My suggestion is, in addition to Take profit advanced, where it is possible to make partial profits. Also put the stop loss advanced, to be able to make partial losses, decrease the lots when you lose too.

Totaly agree, I honestly dont understand why there is advanced TP management, but not advanced SL management. It's very important to reduce risk, once a trade goes against you; and a real headache to keep watching charts or setting alarms, in stead of having an automatic option.

Let me add in market replay, altough it's a very nice addition, we need:

• Direct keyboard Keys to pause/play and to show Next bar.
• Option to restart the simulation
• Ideally, option to go back in time, canceling all trades affected by the rewind
• Most important, we need to be able to switch between timeframes.

Try Market Replay

With Market Replay, users can test their trading ideas and approaches based on historical tick data. Traders can increase and decrease the playback speed. This not only allows traders to test out new approaches, but also serves as an educational tool for beginners.

 

Honestly, Market replay is USELESS if we don't have the option to switch between timeframes.

I really don't understand why you guys haven't been able to enable this, first in the backtesting tool and now in market replay, when having tick or 1 minute data, the only thing you need to do is to construct the higher time frames using the same data.

Any serious trader, does a multi-timeframe analysis when using a manual trading strategy. 

I was waiting so long for Market replay, and very excited when it was released. Just to later see you guys have only implemented a copy of the backtesting tool, and added a few buttons. Sad! So upseting!

Hope timeframe switching for Backtesting/Markey Replay is somewhere in your near pipeline.

BR. Back to MT4 Simulations.

This is a MUST.

In my opinion, it should be added in between the Buy/Sell buttons of QuickTrade. I'm really missing this piece in the WEB version :(
