Hi there,

Can you share screenshots showing that the pip counter does not agree with the chart's scale?

Best regards,

Hi there,

The app you shared is TradingView, not cTrader, and the price axis is obviously inverted.

Best regards,

RE: Brokers

Hi there,

Some remark:
Although TopFX is still marked as offering cTrader Copy, this broker have already discontinued this service almost 4 months ago.

As far as I know they still offer the service through their non EU entity, same as IC Markets and FxPro

RE: [Question 2][Why Does cTrader Keep Two Versions After an Update ?]

R0bot said: 

PanagiotisCharalampous said: 

My question is if this creates any practical issues for you regarding using the application.

1. For me, at the moment, having two versions after an update doesn't create any practical issues regarding using cTrader Desktop.

    However, this doesn't mean that it's normal or that I agree with having 2 versions or even multiple versions (such as 10), on my computer.

2. This topic is not about whether having two versions after an update creates any practical issues regarding using cTrader Desktop.

    I created this topic simply to receive a direct answer to the question 'Why does cTrader keep two versions after an update ?', specifically to understand the reasons behind this.

If you are only concerned about the space, just attempt a clean installation

3. I don't want to perform a clean installation every time there's an cTrader Desktop update. 

    I simply want to have a straightforward, clean update, meaning the old version should be replaced by the new one.

We will check but if it doesn't create any issues, it will be treated as a low priority.

No there isn't. Workspaces are saved automatically on the cloud when the application closes.

1. For me, an update means that the old version is replaced by the new one, not that both versions remain on my computer. 

2. Since I have the latest version after update, I don't understand how having the previous version would be helpful. 

3. At this moment, the previous version not only doesn't help me, but also takes up unnecessary space.

4. Also, my simple desire is to have only the latest version after an update, not two versions.

My question is if this creates any practical issues for you regarding using the application. If you are only concerned about the space, just attempt a clean installation

RE: RE: algo backtesting

wassimbelabed2015 said: 

thank you , do you know any tips or methdo to adjust the algo depending on the broker or provider.

PanagiotisCharalampous said: 

 

Hi there,

If the demo account's price feed is different to the live one, you should expect that the results will be different as well. Check with your broker.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

 

My tip is that if the algo's success depends on the broker's feed, throw it away, it's not a good algo :)

RE: RE: RE: Historical Bid/Ask prices for pair are not synced by timestamp

csafx1 said: 

I am using the Open API to get historical tick data (ProtoOAGetTickDataReq). It doesn't allow me to obtain the Bid / Ask prices together, and so I populate a Bid and Ask table with the respective returned data for each call. Some of the price points match on symbol and unix timestamp,  but many other do not. In reconciling the Bid and Ask prices, what is the process (outside of a actual match on symbol and timestamp), in resolving the other price data. Is there an approximate formula used or something else?

Hi there,

Bid and ask prices are independent from each other. Sometimes are updated together but most of the times they are updated separately.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Thank you for the prompt response and clarification. So in an effort to facilitate back testing with the historical tick data in Open Api, similar to the OnTick event in cautomate, is it safe to say the cbot OnTick event simply raises the OnTick event with an SymbolTickEventArgs obj as soon as it has both an Ask and Bid price?

No, OnTick is raised whenever any of the two prices is updated.

RE: RE: Stop Loss Calculation

rosscortb said: 

firemyst said: 

Depends on what you want.

You're getting the LastValue, which is value as of the moment it's taken in the current bar. As you know, values for the current bar can change depending on what the price does. 

So at the beginning of the bar for example, the top band could be one value, but then if price really skyrockets and the band expands, the top band could end up being another value by the close of the bar.

If that's what you want, fine.

Perhaps what you want is the value of the previous bar when price closed? With Bollinger Bands, that shouldn't change. So instead of getting the .LastValue, you need to get .Last(1).

 

@firemyst
Thanks for your reply.

This never really worked me, been struggling with this for a while. When back testing I would expect to see a stop loss line or Take profit line above or below the bands. No matter what pip level I set the variable to just stays the same.

It seems that you are using absolute prices as stop losses. You need to convert them to pips.
