WTF is going on with the latest update.
22 Mar 2025, 07:15


I'm used to illogical UI changes in cTrader and minor bugs, but the nail in the coffin with this version is the inability to save a cBot and therefore the inability to keep working.

I can't “build” a custom indicator. When I click the build button, it says “Build succeeded”, but the red asterisk remains and no changes are saved. Worse still, I end up with a blank instance in the cBot tab, titled as the indicator was, but with no code in it?!?!

I'm code naming v5.2.5 “Dogsbreakfast”

I won't hold my breath.

It would be great if you could post screen captures showing the issues.

RE: WTF is going on with the latest update.

wish they have a beta channel new features. that's Software engineering 101.  new features are appreciated but this is unusable.  i am not sure even if they actively monitor this forum anymore. i think i have to install broker versions again. it was cool to have one app to manage multiple accounts across brokers. it was fun until it lasted.

Broker versions! I forgot all about them. Thank you, that'll let me get back to work for now.

Interesting the few issues you point out there.

The video definitely makes it more clear what issues you have, so thanks for posting that.

Guess we'll see if Spotware monitors this forum and/or will get notified of the issue.

You can obviously tell they don't test their own product before release, because any sort of basic test, like what you did, should have picked it up.

Clearly! There's no way you could miss something so obvious. Particularly the indicator setting reset issue.. I'm going to try and post a link to that again because it seems the moderators didn't let it through for some reason.

Reposting because the original reply was deleted by moderator.

Please allow this, it's a legitimate issue.
