Hi there,

Can you share the code of such an indicator?

What is the conclusion after all?

Spotware should not take any actions on assessing brokers and mitigating the risk before accepting these as clients because that would be an issue. Is it?

The conclusion is that no matter what actions Spotware takes, there is nothing that can prevent brokers from misbehaving, so traders have the primary responsibility of choosing with whom to cooperate and send their money to.

The paradox for me is that we live in an era where well respected banks, regulated by central banks, collapse in one night but traders somehow expect that a software vendor should protect from all dangers and provide them 100% security of their funds.

Hi there,

I am not aware of any issues as I do not work for Pepperstone or Spotware. I was just trying to help.

Hi there,

You need to retrieve the bars as in my example above and use them to do your calculations instead of Bars.

Hi there,

There is no such integration at the moment. You would need to develop it yourself.

This is a suggestion to Spotware, I assume?

No, mine

Are not all the cTrader brokers are regulated? This is, in fact, the minimum required from Spotware: to make sure that all the brokers accepted as clients (available to traders) are regulated

Regulation does not guarrantee that brokers won't misbehave. Just check the regulator sites how many brokers are fined every month.

Spotware shall always apply the highest "safety" standards by putting in place the due contingency plans to mitigate the risk at the source and avoid that traders will end up being assaulted within its own house

Do you just jump on any airline's plane just because it's flying with Boeings/Airbuses? The plane manufacturers responsibility is to provide safe airplanes. Asking Spotware to be liable for what brokers do outside the platform is like asking Boeing/Airbus to check on every airline using their planes, if they are doing their job well on a daily basis. It's not possible, and it's not their job to do so.

It's it 99% something with the implementation. If there was a general issue with the API, there would be many complaints.

Hi there,

This usually happens due to slippage. You can check this with your broker.

Hi,

Are you able to reproduce the problem with any of the Open API samples? If yes, it would be easier for Spotware to investigate as there would be some common reference code to discuss upon.

Hi there,

If you have access to Bloomberg's APIs, you could do that yourself using cTrader Automate.

Hi,

I tried this and works fine for me. Are you using tick data as a source?

Hi there,

Spotware demo accounts expire after 90 days
There is no limit as far as I know

Hi there,

Can you share the complete cBot code so that we can run it and reproduce this behavior?

Hi there,

Did you try version 4.6.5? Does it happen there too?
