firemyst,

I'd make it clear that Pepperstone doesn't support cTrader copy when suggesting this broker, since it is quite likely that traders are also looking for this.

 

You're right. They don't support cTrader copy natively in the application, but Pepperstone does support social trading through 3rd parties as detailed on their website:

 

So yes, if that's what people are looking for, they should contact Pepperstone to confirm first.

In this case, the OP's primary requirement was to trade smaller lot sizes, which Pepperstone supports (at least in the South Pacific).

I can't open a 0.10 position on Us30 in ctrade? I do it in metatrader, but web ctrader doesn't allow me to open a 0.10 lot position, only 1 lot

 

I would suggest signing up with Pepperstone. They allow lot sizes of 0.1 on US30 and other indices.

Are you sure? I tried with cTrader in the past and on indexes could not get 0.1 lot size on indexes with Pepperstone. I have a Pepperstone account. I gave up on CTrader because of this limitation. There are no brokers I could find that seemed decent enough and also support the lot sizes needed with cTrader and that are also available to me.

I'm 100% sure because I use Pepperstone cTrader now for trading, and can trade 0.1 lots sizes on US30, and 0.01 sizes on forex pairs.

Proof in the pudding:

When you back test do you take into account spreads and commission costs?

For your first request, post it in the Suggestions Forum:

What error messages, if any, do you get in the cTrader logs under the Automate tab?

Also, have you submitted the technical information to Spotware?

firemyst,

If you consider this as a bug how would you classify cTrader memory leaks? A detail?

Although it is okay to report any issue (of course), I prefer to focus on cTrader core issues, that's why I said I didn't even consider this to be an issue.

By core issues I mean issues that directly have impact on your trading outcome/results, which is not the case here.

In the programming world, a bug is a bug.

Some bugs can be complete showstoppers, and others just a minor nuance.

It's up to Spotware to decide the priority of bugs.

With the sorting, any developer at Spotware should be able to track down the query in the mobile version code, fix, and unit test it in less than an hour before uploading their latest changes into the main development branch for the next round of product testing and subsequent official release.

One developer's time of less than an hour is not going to have an overall noticeable impact on the product release cycle.

If it does, Spotware has bigger issues at hand.

Otherwise, I'm not spending any more time discussing bug semantics.

Why don't you actually write the author who posted the bot, or post a comment under the bot like others have done?

Or actually read the information posted on the bot's page on how to obtain that information?

Apparently not yet. It is suggested though as a feature in the Suggestion forum to have the same functionality for Comments:

This is more a C# thing than a cTrader thing.

If you unsubscribe from events, it could free up some resources and make available for garbage collection.

Do a little Google research.

First question: how do you know the code in your indicator is retrieving the correct market data for the faster time frame?

And do you have your indicator set up to handle multiple time frames? Eg, look at this example:

WEll, there may be an issue in cTrader, there may be an issue with your code.

Nobody will be able to help identify the issue unless you post some code that reproduces the issue.

You want to use "ExecuteMarketOrder", not "OpenMarketOrder"

I know this post is old, but in case you weren't aware, this has been completed by Spotware so you can now have Heikin Ashi charts natively.

//Sample code to help you get started:

//Set the line size. If timeframe is "Minute", make it 2. Otherwise, make it 1.
int lineSize = (Chart.TimeFrame == TimeFrame.Minute ? 2 : 1);

for (double level = start; level <= max + step; level += step)
{
    Print("{0} {1} {2}", level, level + half, level + quarter);

    Chart.DrawHorizontalLine("WholeLine" + level, level, cWhole, lineSize, LineStyle.Solid);
    Chart.DrawHorizontalLine("HalfLine" + level, level + half, cHalf, lineSize, LineStyle.Lines);
    Chart.DrawHorizontalLine("QuarterUpLine" + level, level + quarter, cQuarter, lineSize, LineStyle.Dots);
    Chart.DrawHorizontalLine("QuarterDownLine" + level, level - quarter, cQuarter, lineSize, LineStyle.Dots);
}

I don't know that anyone has the actual source code to the native indicator within cTrader.

However, do a search on the site for "fibonacci" and you'll find other indicators/bots based on Fibonacci, and you might find code that can help you along:

https://ctrader.com/search

 

Or look for yourself in the library of indicators readily available:
