Hi phill.beaney,

The thread I posted advises to update your Inter Iris drivers. Did you try that?

Hi bowen.guo.kaust,

In the exact same way as simple moving average. Quoting the formula again

The mean value is the average and n is the number of periods.

Hi haohan51,

Send it like this

Also make sure there are no indicators/cBots running in cTrader Automate

Hi haohan51,

You can send us some troubleshooting info when this happens (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T). However I am 99% sure this is happening because of your cBot.

Hi there,

That's normal. Read here. You need to apply rounding.

Hi haohan51,

Is this likely the underlying issue?

It's a probable cause

If so, are you able to make any suggestions?

Either get a VPS with higher specs or optimize your code

The code at the moment uses the "Async" method to operate, such as "ModifyPendingOrderAsync" and "ModifyPositionAsync". Does this add extra workload onto the CPU because it's trying to do everything in parallel? Would using non-Async method reduce the CPU load?

It could decrease the CPU load but it will make execution slower. If your trading decisions are time critical, then opt for a VPS with more cores.

Hi blockchainTrader1,

This can also happen earlier. It depends on your broker's stop out level.

Hi MATRIXTRADER,

One of the improvements you can make to the code is to execute the logic of the cBot on each symbol's BarOpened event. OnBar is executed differently for each symbol and this can cause discrepancies to the results.

Hi haohan51,

There is no gerenal issue with our connectivity at the moment so probably the issue is on your side. Some things you can check.

1. Check your proxy latency. Try restarting cTrader so that it can connect to the best available proxy.
2. Confirm that your VPS can execute your cBots efficiently. If the cBots consume much of the resources of the VPS, disconnections might happen.
3. Try running the cBot on a different machine, maybe your own PC, and check if you can reproduce the problem.

Hi blockchainTrader1,

If your account is stopped out, then you are obviously using leverage. You are opening positions with a value higher than your account's balance/ The account's leverage does not matter and has no effect to the size of positions you are opening. If you don't want to use your account's leverage, just don't use it and open positions with a value that does not exceed your account's equity.

Hi blockchainTrader1,

You can do this with any leverage account. Your account's leverage just defimes the upper limit of volume you can use. But does not restrict you from trading lower volumes than that. If for example your account has a balance of 1000 and you want to buy stocks worth of 1000 valued at 200 each, just buy 5 stocks.
