EURUSD H1

Dates maximum

Source is M1 bars

It makes some calculations using time.

The header is: [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.ESouthAmericaStandardTime, AccessRights = AccessRights.FullAccess)]

It uses this in a loop:  h = MarketSeries.OpenTime.Last(n).Hour;

This on the OnBar():  TimeDifMin(_position.EntryTime, Server.Time) > 60

It uses mostly the OnBar() event.

The OnTimer() (rate = 10 seconds) is used only to write some stuff on chart when live, not backtesting.

No indicators at all.

Editor Settings

In version 3, Calgo was integrated with CTrader. Ok... however:

1) Where are the editor settings? The default changes when saving the code format to a fixed one I hate, not very useful for many users. And I cannot change it to unselect the "auto formatting" dumb option.

2) The integrated version of Calgo has a huge problem: the optimization is now MUCH SLOWER (3x to 10x) than when the calgo executable was independent.

It is so slow that I was forced to change from tick backtests and optimizations to the M1 simulation. And this is VERY BAD !!

In fact, EVERYTHING in the "automate" section of the new CTrader 3 is VERY SLOW. Too much slow. Take attention to this guys, because it is tottaly unfeasible to work that way at a point that can force people go to other plataform. I suggest strongly to offer a Calgo independet version to those who work a lot with backtests and optimizations. I think this is a must.

3) After you optimize, the backtest does not run. Try to "apply" one optimization parameters set to the robot and then try a backtest. It does not run. You need to exit the ctrader/calgo program to make it work again on that instance.

4) The "play" buttons for backtesting and optimization does not show when it is working, active, or not. There are times you click on the button, things do not work and you do not know what is going on... you need to click again and again to be sure.

5) And old issue not related top the version 3: I already used Ninja and MT... and they do implement a true optimization algorithm. But CAlgo seems to choose the parameters randomly. Certainly it is NOT an optimization clever algorithm. In general, the optimization process is a VERY WEAK feature that lacks a better implementation in CTrader, specially when you compare it to other plataforms like MT and Ninja.

Thanks, Lavio

Hi Lavio,

Can you try performing a clean installation? 

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Yes, it was one of the first things I did manually. And it did not work first time.

But now, after reading the instructions to do a clean installation about, I did two new things: removed the "2.0" directory and run a NetFxRepairTool from Microsoft.
And this time it worked.

Thanks for your help.

RE:

Let me tell you a bit more about this error...

In another computer using Windows, where I had a backup, the first time I run CTrader it started the last update (from a 3 to another new 3.xxx) and it ALSO had the SAME ERROR.
Then I insisted using a CAlgo FxPro old link, it downloaded again the new update, and it worked using two versions of CTrader for ICM Markets and FxPro.
I had the impression that when updating from version 3 to a new last 3 it crashes. And when I updated from 2 to 3 it worked.

To continue doing what I as doing with CTrader, I had to run CTrader (and do the upgrade to version 3 from a version 2) in a second Windows installation I have in the same computer.
The point is that in the old Windows I wanted to run (because of a SSD drive) it refuses even to install the application ! It downloads the files, but at first execution attempt, it says it cannot run the apllication and tells me to contact support using a details log file (as message above).

I use CTrader for about 3 years. But... after last CTRader 3 update, it says cannot run application and tells me to contact CTrader support with a details file below (written in Portuguese).
Notice: I have even uninstalled the product, downloaded the last setup. But also the setup says it cannot run the application.

LOG ERROR FILE to support below:
I guess the main info is this one:
