Issue with "clouds" in cTrader desktop
18 Jan 2021, 11:43


Hello @Spotware / @Panagiotis:

Here's what I think is a functional issue with the way "clouds" are implemented in cTrader.

Take the following:

So in this case, the cloud is drawn between the "Zero Line" and "Hist Diff" line.

If I untick one of those lines from being shown, to me, the cloud should no longer be shown because the line it's associated with is not.

For example, if I do this:

The "Hist Diff" line is unticked, and therefore not shown.

If the "cloud" is tied to that line, why is the "cloud" still shown? Even if I uncheck the "Zero Line" the cloud is still shown.

This makes no sense since there's no way to turn clouds on/off within an indicator unless one has the source code and compiles it without the [Cloud] tag.

Is Spotware looking to implement anything that gives users control over the display/colors of the clouds?

Thank you.

Hi firemyst,

The cloud is not assossiated with anything, it is a separate entity which is drawn between two lines. We have no plans for an on/off feature at the moment, but you can suggest it.

Hi @Panagiotis:

So Spotware includes a charting feature in cTrader that provides traders with zero control over the colors, zero control over any of its display features, and zero ability to even turn it on or off?

With all due respect and with that lack of basic functionality, such features shouldn't have to be "suggested".

Thank you :-)
