I'm also wondering when a stored TP is executed.

I'm in Tick-Data Backtester / Optimizer Mode
I had my own TP logic:
tpHit = position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy ? currentPrice >= targetTpLevel : currentPrice <= targetTpLevel;

And also set the same TP at Trade Execution direct with the SL in the Trade ID.

My code is always executed faster at a TP Level then the built in TP in Backtesting. I can't imagine why. Even if I set a threshold that my code is executed later - after the TP is reached. 
My code is executed earlier then the built in TP.

My aim was to let the built in TP close the trade if i only buy 1 lot instead of running through my code…

Hi there,

It is hard to understand your problem from an abstract description. Feel free to share source code and exact steps to reproduce what you are looking at and we will have a look.

Ok, i can't share the whole bot. It's 3000 lines of code already. But i can make an example bot to show the difference / timing of TP execution. Is the Trade TP executed OnTick or OnBar if i'm in the backtester mode?

 

If you use TP, SL or pending orders which are executed at a specific level, then you should use tick data for your backtesting. If you use bar data the results will be wrong.

Hi there,

Your problem is here

                while (Symbol.Spread != 0)    //the new part that i added is from here
                {
                    Thread.Sleep(1000);
                }       

If you prevent the cBot from receiving new ticks, the spread will never change.

Best regards,

Hi there,

You should use args.Reason to check if the position has been closed by a stop loss.

My app is not working after installing the Android OS update on my Pixel 8. Please advice. i don't see any update have these brokers been advised to add an update to the Play Store?

The update is only released for cTrader cross broker application at the moment. Use that one instead

Hello, when will you fix ctrader brokers version ?

Usually should we use ctrader broker version or cross-broker versions ? What are the differences ?

Hi there,

Cross broker version gets the updates first, broker versions follow. Otherwise, there are no significant differences between the applications.

Hi there,

You have a logical problem here

                            if (bottomTime < topTime)
                                Print(Bars.OpenTimes[lastIndex] + ": Bottom first");
                            
                            if (topTime > bottomTime)
                                Print(Bars.OpenTimes[lastIndex] + ": Top first");

bottomTime < topTime and topTime > bottomTime are the same thing.

Hello Team @Spotware / @PanagiotisCharalampous

Any further updates on a fix for this issue?

Thank you

Hi firemyst,

We had no luck reproducing this issue therefore we cannot fix it at the moment.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

It's still doing this as of today, April 17th with version 4.8.30.

Doesn't the @Spotware team want to remote desktop and/or something else to get to the bottom of it? It's OBVIOUSLY an issue since I can reproduce it and have provided several videos showing it happening and can still reproduce the issue at will.

It happens when I switch between saved templates on an indicie (like the NAS 100) with a broker that has a pip size set at 0.1 points instead of 1 point on that indicie. 

 

Hi firemyst,

We have noted your report but it is low priority since nobody else reported this. We will come back to you in case we need more information.

RE: Risk Reward Tool for PC/MAC

berkinozen said: 

Hello. First of all, I find the Risk/Reward tool you've added to the web platform very useful. However, I wish this tool could be integrated into both PC and Mac desktop applications as well. If this happens, many people in my circle will transfer their accounts to cTrader. I'm eagerly looking forward to the announcement of this development.

Hi there,

It will be added soon in all the rest of the applications.
