No, different market data did not make a difference.

I submit a report, but have not been able to backtest all that much recently. Hope the report helps so far, although at the time I submit it the issue was not as significant as it has been before.

Different market data wouldn't make a difference I don't think which is why I asked. Currently there's a lot of known issues in the latest release of cTrader.

You should write IC markets and ask them why their spreads are different on their demo vs their live accounts

cTrader doesn't appear to be well architected at the moment in how it handles drawings. 

The only way I've been able to find a way around this issue is I have to put a parameter in any indicator that draws anything, to limit the number of drawings it does.

So if for that value I put 200, it'll draw a line or rectangle for the last 200 bars. As soon as a new bar is started, it removes the drawings from 201 bars ago if you see what I mean.

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?

Hi firemyst,

We have reproduced your issue and we are working on a solution. 

Best regards,

Panagiotis

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

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??
