RE: cTrader update frequency during the day - Adjusting?

Hi there,

I don't think Spotware will adjust this for one user. Maybe just configure your firewall instead

Thank you for your reply.

One side of the problem is that I need a folder wildcard to do that and I have not been able to find out how to do this in Windows. Two of the folders in the directory tree is always different and right after being allowed both files with all their folders are automatically deleted from \local\temp\. So the second problem is that it is not possible to add a Windows Firewall entry if the files does not exist. Meaning the “Apply” is greyed out. Up till today I had between 3 and 4 hundred obsolete firewall entries that I deleted, and as mentioned which is not possible to edit because the files does not exists.

The directory structure is as following:
\device\harddiskvolume3\users\user\appdata\local\temp\spotware\e254fde35b9f22e01c269a431ac9c852\4.8.28.21854\3127fae0e7d541eab436637dda6201d6\ctrader-"brokername"-setup.exe

I was hoping there was a config file in cTrader which I could edit changing the update frequency.

I have previously posted a “seconds bars” request and glad to see that others are doing the same request 👍 Hopefully it will be enough for the cTrader guys to implement it 😊

Agree with @JS15 on this one. For detailed price action with tick volume (at least for my part) second bars can be very useful. I am now using tick bars, but understandably tick volume has no use with tick bars, so I'm only able to monitor price action.

Yes. I have to say I strongly agree with [@anonymous_882811243] that this is a must have. The ability to secure profits should definitely be an option with a good platform as cTrader.
