RE: Market Replay sometimes unresponsive

Hi,

sorry, have been on vacation and didnt see the reply.

Will do that soon, thank you.

One thing I didnt mention before is that the chart data is provided by Pepperstone, but I dont think that this is of importance. Will open an account with blackbull markets shortly and see if this makes a difference.

Best,

Daniel

Has it?

Any further updates on this? ETA on a patch or something? It's been at least 40 days now since this issue was first reported and it's still affecting users.

Thank you

You need to add this in the “suggestions” forum.

Panagiotis,

Are there any plans to allow traders to manage/access to their cloud space?
This would be great

No plans at the moment

I see.

Cloud execution is not yet an alternative for cBots that need to access to files, I assume?

Any workaround?

The local storage is explained a little bit here:

https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-algo/synchronisation/requirements-for-cbots/

 

There's quite a bit of limitations with cbots in the cloud.

Sample limitations and their associated links are below:

  • “cBots operating in Cloud do not have access to any chart opened in cTrader.” (so much for running a bot that draws lines and other features on a chart)

( https://www.spotware.com/terms-of-services )

  • “To ensure that your experience with cTrader is as smooth as possible, you can only run custom indicators and plugins on cTrader Desktop” (does this mean you can't use a custom indicator in a cbot in the cloud since the indicator itself won't be running in the desktop?)

Can you provide screen captures showing the placement of the SL and TP during your backtests?

Also, I would alter your print statement after a successful order to include the entry price, SL, and TP prices. 

For example:

 Print("Buy order placed successfully. Position ID: {0}, Entry Price {1}, SL {2}, TP {3}, calculated SL {4}, calculated TP {5}", result.Position.Id, result.EntryPrice, result.StopLoss.GetValueOrDefault(), result.TakeProfit.GetValueOrDefault(), stopLossPrice, takeProfitPrice);

Is there a way to prevent that?

Have two different machines where you run your bots. Keep one running the “old” code, and use the other machine as your development machine where you can compile, run, rerun, and do whatever with newer versions of the code.

Or if you're using the cloud option, make sure to turn off the syncing.

Have you tried looking at the code to any indicators that are already available?

Out of curiosity, why do you want to know whether a bot is running from the CLI or GUI??

TWiLiGHT_FX said: Doesn't work, if I delete the cBot or Indicator off my system & Synchronize, it retails all cBots & Indicators previously Sync'd on their server..

 

Of course it does. Because when you turn sync back on, it syncs everything. I don't think you get to pick and choose which ones sync and which ones don't. 

However, if you have it on a separate computer (another laptop? VPS?) it will only sync what's on that computer. What I do is on VPS I only have the bot I want synced in the cloud; on my local laptop, I run bots I don't want synced in the cloud, and have disabled syncing on my local laptop; syncing is enabled on my VPS. 

 

@PanagiotisCharalampous can you add any clarifications around this?

This does not delete cBots/Indicators synchronized by mistake.  Can someone at Spotware please let me know how we can remove unwanted cBots & Indicators stored in the cloud please.??  

Sorry I meant delete the cBot, from cTrader itself, wait for everything to sync, then disable the synchronization. 

This means you'll have to reinstall the bot on cTrader after you disable the synchronization when you've deleted everything.

I believe you just disable them after deleting them from cTrader. Make sure you have a backup copy. Delete from cTrader like normal when synchronization is ON. When bots are synced and deleted, then disable synchronization:

Have you tried looking for one?

You can start with either Google or going to the menu at the top of the forums, clicking on “Algorithms”, selecting Indicators, and doing a search. Same with bots.

 

If you can't find one, then you'll have to code one. However, cTrader doesn't give you the ability to have multiple SLs on the same position. Instead, in your code you'll have to draw lines on the chart where the SL is (to see it visually) and in your code have it reduce the volume of the position (or close it all together) when price reaches/passes your SL line.

 

The other thing you should do is look through the Suggestions forum:

https://ctrader.com/forum/suggestions

for other users who have already posted the desired feature and vote for it.
