Hi GridSurfer,

Inquiries related to the price feed and execution should be addressed to the brokers since they are in control of the entire chain. For the moment we do not have plans to set up a datacenter in NY. Such a setup would mostly benefit US traders who currenlty cannot use cTrader. If you else anywhere else in the world with no close proximity to NY (Mexico, Canada etc), your message will probably still need to travel across oceans to NY, therefore the location of our datacenter will not make much of a difference.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi chanapong3,

This method is count bars in weekend ?
var time2 = MarketData.GetSeries(time2); 

Print("HIGH " + time2 .High.Last(200)); 

 

 


You mean this method

 int index2 = time2 .OpenTime.GetIndexByTime(Server.Time.AddHours(-200));
Print("LAST " + time2 .High[index2]);

is weekend not considered right ?

 Yest this is correct

And Do you have any way to load more data before backtesting time ?
Because in forward test it is work normally.

No but a workaround would be to start your backtesting earlier and set a condition in the cBot to start executing as soon as the required amount of data becomes available.

Hi chanapong3,

The reason you get NaN is that cTrader does not load so many bars before backtesting start time. 

The difference between the two methods is that going back 200 hours is not equivalent to going back 200 bars since using method 2 weekend gaps are not considered.

Hi cuan,

Why not use cBots for all these functions?

Hi scalper1,

This happens because cTrader Copy has been released less that a year before.

Hi FireMyst,

Fair question though -- is it good behaviour for cTrader to ignore a SL when it falls within a spread and not even give a warning or something? Otherwise, unless there's specific checks for a stoploss after placing an order with a stoploss, the bots would never know.

If we close the position automatically then this means a certain loss for the trader for something that is obviously not intended. Setting the SL inside the spread is an obvious mistake, why would somebody do that? Better not open the position in the first place. Moreover, in certain cases it can lead to a loop of opening and closing positions in loss, risking blowing up an account. Therefore we ignore the SL and we let the trader choose how to fix this problem e.g. manually place a SL or detect this in the code and place it in a valid region. The improvements we will introduce in the future is that we should notify in a more explicit way the cBot that the SL has not been placed so that the cBot can take the appropriate action.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi FireMyst,

Here you are wrong

 a SL for a buy order is measured from below the BID; a SL for a sell order is measured from above the Ask

SL is measured from the entry price, else it would not be accurate. So it is the opposite of what you have describled.

srubtsov is right. When the stop loss falls within the spread, cTrader ignores it. This has been discussed several times together with the reasons this happens.

Best regards, 

Panagiotis
