And on top, if you have indicator on screens and use your cursor to count the number of bars or want to know the Pips; you cannot as the indicator name comes in front...

Totally agree that this left bar is taking too much precious screen space...  and why hide the settings of Clicks, pips in the one more setting link...  also, the email settings... they were good at the top....  what a mess !

also, if they can add one more row of "Charts" selection name that is on the top....  have to do too much scrolling between charts...

make sense....   lets see how it plays out.  It is just that we love cTRADER too much...    :-)

Thank you for replying and engaging with the community....!

Hi,

the reason is not good enough...  cTRADER crashes a lot and need to be restarted a lot...  merging them all together and then running two instances will not solve when crashes happen.  

You are killing the coders...  novice users are not at all interested in cALGO... it is the coder thing.  don't kill the coder. already we have only two or three active coders in the cBOT and Indicator section when compared to MT4 which has 1000s of coders.

Managing two code base ?  isn't that easy as these two platforms target market is totally different...   then secondly, changing all the shortcuts and putting them in a  setting button... why are you guys working on the makeup / cosmetics ?

from day 1, this is what I am seeing ...  cTRADER spends most of the time or updates on cosmetics and facelift...  why not work on real issues...  

I am sorry but trust me, it looks like you are not a coder and don't know the importance of having a separate platform...   It was your edge over MT4 to attract coders.  Instead of improving on the cALGO working envoirnment, help section, editor features; coders are being tossed here and there with face uplifts...    cTRADER ID still crashes and if a cBOT is running; it is a big problem.

Solve the real issues; you can read them in the relevant sections...   give real time updates on features rather on just facelifts / cosmetics and telling us a turn around.

Try to understand the difference between Pro Trader, Coders and Hybrids and early learners with no coding background.....   with this merger you are not helping Pro Traders, Novice Traders (with no coding experience) but you are certainly upseting the coders.  Improve the cALGO editor, help sections... add more help files on code use, examples.....

Bring back the two platforms or it will hurt your business...   It was what kept cTRADER separate from others platform.  just my 2 cents.

and thanks for your reply and engaging with the community........

I will invite everyone to comment here and let cTRADER know that this is not at all a good decision.   Make cAlgo separate as it was...!!!!  don't ruin your edge over MT4 !!!

I will invite everyone to comment here and let the cTRADER team know that separate platform is good...

Reasons :

1. we could see all our settings on the side frame in cALGO whereas in cTRADER, we get a small pop-up window to have a look at all our settings.  Even the name of the cBOT gets truncated.

2. we coders used Dual monitors, and having two platform was such a nice idea...  now we have to do so many switching among tabs ....  it is quite annoying....

3. We could run cBOT on demo account on cALGO and wait for the results while we can trade live....

and the list goes on......

Please, please !  reverse the decision or atleast give a choice for coders to launch it separately.....!      With so many shortcomings in cTRADER when compared to MT4 but these few features kept it ahead of the race...   and now you are in same with MT4...   and if coders also leave then ?  MT4 success is  also due to so many coders working there...

Support the coders !!!  Bring back separate platforms !!!

Hi Spotware,

thank you.  Its ok.  it will be great if you can have A LIVE RSS or COMMENTS FROM SPOTWARE running on your CTDN homepage where any technical news is shared and Traders cna click on it to see more details.

This is so unreliable that for a whole one week no trades are being copied.  I am using IC Markets as a Broker.

Thank you.

Hi Sportware,

thanks for your prompt reply.  By Down I mean that I have two slaves accounta attaced to my Master Account (Signal Provider) and these two accounts are not copying the trades being done in Master Account.

This whole week, only on Friday it did copy only one trade out of 10 to 12 trades i did.  But from Monday till Thursday it copied or mirrored nothing.

Last Week, same settings and it was copying / mirroring every trade flawlessly.

RE:

Hi,

This is the single bid issues for years now.  A turnaround would be if you sign-out of your cTRADER ID and login with your Broker ID.  This way it goes a little smooth when running cBOTs.

I'm running cAlgo on a VPS server, signing in via my Ctrader ID.  I would like to be able to "set and forget" but I have found each day or 2 that when I look I see that my account has logged out, or disconnected...  Sometimes the bot still seems to be active but other times it seems to be not updating on the chart (and account info, etc).  

Since you can't sign in while a cbot is running, it means stopping the bot to re-sign in...  I do log in to Ctrader on my local computer to check things (1x live account and 2x demo) and I'm not sure if that disturbs the connections (I don't think it does).  

I'm trying to determine if it is (a) an internet issue from the VPS side, (b) a cAlgo issue, or (c) an issue with my broker.  

 

I have noticed it more often when cAlgo has an update--  I quit and when I restart it automatically updates prior to loading.  

 

Possibly a different question: but is it more 'economical' in terms of computer power to run the bots through cAlgo or through cTrader?  I have had times where cAlgo has frozen and causes a windows error but never through cTrader.  

 

Many thanks,

G

RE:

only One Chart.

Can please somebody tell me: I want to use Memory Manager Bot Robot (/algos/cbots/show/942). Do I need to attach it to EACH opened chart, or attaching this cBot to only one chart is enough? Thank you!

RE:

OK.  Will keep this thread for Freezes.  Thank you and waiting for the disconnection solution on the other thread.

Spotware said:

Dear GoldnOil750,

1. the cTRADER ID "LOGs-OUT" :

Thank you for reporting it. We will investigate. Any additional information that would help us to reproduce your issue is highly appreciated.

As said in your other post regarding the disconnections, we will investigate. /forum/cbot-support/7869. We kindly ask you to continue the discussion about the disconnections in the other thread as this thread is should be about your RAM issue and the frequent crashes. Any further discussion on both subjects on the same thread will lead to more confusions. 

As said in our previous post, every position, order requires some calculations which will consume some of your CPU usage. Opening 1100 positions and orders, requires full CPU usage and most likely causes cTrader to freeze, crash. As repeatedly said, it's in our plans to optimize the performance of our platforms, however, we kindly ask you to optimize your cBot to reduce the amount of opening order/positions.
