Hello all, I'm using AI to develop an algo. When I create a new cBot and “Build” in cTrader, I cannot copy the “Build Result” error and warning text to ask the AI to fix it. Any suggestions? I'd rather not spend an hour re-typing something I should be able to simply copy and paste. Thanks.

You are correct. This is extremely annoying. An update should be introduced in order to enable such error and warning messages to be copied.

Use Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, or some other development platform to compile the code. You can easily copy error messages from them.

 

Or perhaps just read the error message, try to comprehend it, and fix yourself? 

 

AI isn't the be all end all 🤪

Yeah will do. MT4/5's MetaEditor allows me to copy basic text error messages, I think cTraders Build Result window is in Java or some other script which surprisingly does not allow simple copy and paste. Essential for coding with AI.. which is here to stay. If I could afford to hire someone I would! Like the cBot / Algo backtesting section a lot. Thankd.
