As per your suggestion , I ran the bot with Tick data and also found that there is no consistency  in the Visual and non visual testing.

The bot now did not show a profit with the Tick data, but it made 2000 trades more with the non visual vs visual testing and it stopped 2 weeks later when the balance ran to zero.

This is a problem which CTrader must address because it leaves a situation where no algo supplier can be be trusted with their bots on any broker platform.

Hi there,

We are still missing the SSL Channel indicator you are using. Can you please share it with us?

Best regards,

Panagiotis

You can find the SSL indicator on the community indicators forum at Spotware. but as you can see from the code I did not use it.

The code does not build without the indicator. Please either provide a link to the actual indicator or provide cBot code that builds without the need of a reference

Apologies I see I used it. You can get the SSL Channel indicator on the CTrader indicators pages.

I need the link please

For the time being, the backtesting feature supports a year of historical data. More data is likely to be included in the future but it is difficult to say up to which date, though. Could you let us know why it is important to you to have such large range of data for backtesting? Thank you in advance.

This message is from 2013. I wonder if this problem with the historical data continues to this day. I mean if I would like more historical data for conjugate indicators or pairs in Forex, how could I access them?

I've figured out why this is not working. The details from the web-based application for the broker is as per below. This works. However this is different to what I see in the desktop application when I view the details. The desktop details does not work. Do you know why they would show different information?

Hi there

Originally on my ATP move SL to Break even had a tab to enter how many pips past Break even You would like to place it but that tab has disappeared how do I get it back,?

It's still there

Using the ATP can it be used as partial TP and carry on running in trade to Actual TP, if so how?

Yes, see the image above. You can set the pips and the partial volume to close.
