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:

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.

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.

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

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).
