News time and spread
davymailu said:
Is there anyone who knows the historical spread widening during news time or any other time the spread might widen. Just asking to prevent the stop loss from being cancelled like it did on CAD news this week. Also, cAlgo seems to be having very high spreads, higher than normal during those times.
Do not actually think that cTrader or cAlgo brokers have a wider spread in news time, most of all the brokers have a wider spread during this period, regardless of the platform used.

Execution time
Traders do pay a high concern of interest on the platform/broker execution time. On the average, we have seen an execution time over 200ms on most brokers in the past on the cTrader platform. The question is today, has it improved or declined over the last year? It has definitely improved and many brokers have an execution time today of only 80ms. This is a big step forward for the platform and a money saver for the trader at the end. If this continues we might even see a further decline of execution times in the future and maybe the lowest execution time delivered to a trader from a retail platform.

Encryption security is of highest standard
The security used by Spotware for the encryption of the code is of the highest standard. This is, of course, essential for programmers who like to distribute the code or are working for a trading company that does not want the code to be readable by others then the programmers and the inner circle of the company. Reverse engineering as "Mikro" explained is not possible with a cBot code created to be non-readable.
Therefore it's very important for a programmer to secure the full code of the cBot with several backups in case the encrypted code becomes corrupted for some reason and a new version needs to be created from the original unencrypted code.

Latency on a VPS, not the whole story
The latency from a VPS to the brokers trading server is not the whole story here. There is also latency in a trader's computerware when executing trades locally. Also to consider is the execution latency in the platform itself. If the latency is, to give an example, 150ms to execute an order within the broker's platform server, does it matter that much if then you have 2ms or 10ms on the VPS? No, it does not matter that much but always better with lower latency, then higher. What matters is that a VPS hardly ever goes down and as a trader, one can relax knowing that the cBot will be running when the personal trading computer is turned off, or if there is a malfunctioning in the electricity or the internet connection. The VPS will still be going strong.

Latency between brokers and different VPS is hard to measure. 8ms is acceptable though through a VPS, but better with a lower ms. Cross connected is not really of a greater value, unless you trade with a very high account balance and you are in the demand for the best execution speed at all times.

Have a look at the RMM Robot 2.5 it can handle what you are after. To code your request in an easy way is not doable. Learn the API of cAlgo and all that can be done within the API. Ask questions on the forum, which you are in the fact doing right now, that is great. Other programmers might come in with suggestions how to solve it but more of importance to you is to pick up information on the forum and test all the suggestions from programmers by the trial and error approach.

Maybe the free download and use of Market Order 2.0 or 3.0 will give a hint what can be accomplished.
Totally free to download and use at RMMRobot.com

ctid219968, thanks for suggestion this. Dividers will certainly clean up the parameter groupings for an easier understanding and explanation of what they can do. Should not be hard for Spotware to include this in the parameter attribute method in the next update.
I'm glad you think that is a good idea. I have also added to the vote feature here http://vote.spotware.com/forums/229166-ideas-and-suggestions-for-ctrader-and-calgo/suggestions/19350856-calgo-user-input-parameters-dividers
Voted positive for sure and hope other members will see the benefits of your suggestion.

Hold your horses
Come on guys, to introduce a platform to compete with MT4 is not a one night stand, it takes years of testing and releases to get it done right. We as traders who are using the platform will benefit by this for sure at the end. So my suggestion to you all is "Hold Your Horses". Give Spotware the deserved time to work it out what's needed to be done!

Agree to your suggestion there. More information about the Smart Stop Out would be great. The question is, can the trader be at ease with the Smart Stop Out or should a trader have additional protection schemes at hand to prevent losses? Definitely so is the answer here, a protection not entirely based on the core of the platform but more of an external cBot handling these issues that are specific to the traders need. A platform in itself can never give a trader the ultimate protection, it has to be constructed and coded outside the basics but still within the language of the platform. RMMRobot.com is dedicated to these questions regarding the protection of the trading account as a whole.

The "What's New" forum need to be in cue with new releases
The "What's New" forum is where an update should be announced when a new update is released. It will make life so much easier for both programmers and traders to be informed correctly by the Spotware Team what changes have been made and new features. For every update, there should be a release note as suggested above.

Free cBots
jjwes,
it all depends on the complexity of the cbot itself, some cbots are totally free and some programmers code it for an hourly fee, it can become expensive at the end if you go down that route.
If you want cbots totally free and without any costs whatsoever, have a look at RMMROBOT.com.
