RE: RE: Creating Account-Specific Shortcuts or Profiles in cTrader

Hi there,

It's not clear for me what you are doing and what is not working. Why don't you create one profile for each account and se the desired account as the last accessed for the specific profile? What does not work in this scenario?

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Let me simplify

I manage two separate accounts on cTrader (Account A and Account B). To streamline my operations, I attempted to create individual profiles for each account and set up corresponding desktop shortcuts intended to launch cTrader directly into these specific accounts. However, I've encountered an issue where cTrader does not adhere to the account-specific profiles as expected.

Here's the process I followed:
1. I created Profile 1 linked to Account A and Profile 2 linked to Account B (maybe explain me how to do this part correctly)
2. I set up desktop shortcuts for each profile, aiming to open cTrader directly with the respective accounts.
3. Despite this setup, cTrader consistently opens with the last account that was active before the application was closed, regardless of the chosen profile. For instance, if I close cTrader while Account B is active and later open cTrader using the shortcut for Profile 1 (linked to Account A), it still defaults to Account B.

I am using the "multiple profiles" setting during startup, but this issue persists, causing unintended orders on the wrong account due to the need to manually switch accounts every time I launch cTrader.

Could you please clarify the proper steps “create one profile for each account and the desired account as the last accessed for the specific profile?” 

 I suspect I might be missing a crucial step or misunderstanding the setup process. Detailed guidance on ensuring each profile reliably opens with its designated account would be immensely helpful. Thank you.

Your setup seems correct. I have a similar setup but I do not experience such a problem. Accounts always default to the last used for the profile. I will check again over the weekend and see what happens.

RE: Problesm with Visual vs non Visual Backtesting

Hi Panagiotis,

Apparently this issue is still in present in v5.0.19.

Aren't the results suppose to match 100% regardless of which data bars are selected, on condition that the same data is used in both visual/non-visual modes?
Anyway, running backtests on tick data for every strategy iteration can be impractical.

It doesn't seem logical (at all) to me that checking/unchecking the visual mode box should affect results when the all the underlying data remains the same.
Given this, it is highly unlikely that this is a user or cBot issue, suggesting an issue within cTrader's backtesting logic.

As you know, backtesting is crucial for traders to evaluate cBot logic accurately.
Solving this inconsistency is central for traders to have confidence in their backtesting and, as a result, being confident about their cBot development process.

Last but not least, this issue has been reported multiple times.
When will this finally be addressed?

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi ncel01,

The plan is to fix this issue in 5.1

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Hi, sorry if I am not clear. My algo predicts price movement in a specific stock. Next 5, 15, 30 and 60 min. These data are continuesly updated in my database. What I am trying to do now is importing these 5 values and connect these 5 values to plot a line on the chart. The values refresh every 5 minutes.

So now that I made the connection work, i need to work on importing and plotting the data. Can you suggest an indicator that I can use the code off to modify for this purpose? I was thinking off the sma or ema.

I don't have any suggestions, sorry

RE: Select Compiler None

laurent.lacaze said: 

Hi,

I have exactly the same issue. I deleted .Net-7 and install .Net-6 but cTrader doesn't detect it. I tried this because no product works (from cAlgo) on .Net-7 so I wanted to test with the v6.

I'm on Mac Sonoma 14.4.1 Intel and the last version of cTrader 4.8.907.

Any solution?

Thanks.

Laurent
