I have been doing some backtesting and optimising of my cBots and am getting different results by using the 1m opening prices and the 30m opening prices. Could you please explain the difference?
In m1 open prices data mode every tick is open price from m1 bars. In m30 open prices data mode every tick is open price from m30 bars.
Shouldn't they provide the same result for my m30 strategy?
If you use only OnBar handler results must be the same. If you use Positions.Opened, Positions.Close events, OnTick handler, OnTimer handler, etc. results could be completely different.
- What is best to use for testing and optimising m30 strategies?
- What is best to use for testing and optimising daily strategies?
The best data mode is tick data mode.
Obviously the higher the better, is it a bigger number if I am backtesting over a longer period? I.e. would the fitness be higher if i test 1 years worth of data or 1 months worth of data?
Fitness value is used inside the Optimization process. You don't need to interpret its value anyhow. By the way, fitness values are comparable only withing the same data range, you should not compare fitness values from different data ranges.

After last update the data stops intermittently. The connection is active, sometimes the depth of market even is active, however the ticks stop coming in. IC Markets. This can occur at any point in the day. Restarting the client resolves it obviously, but it isn't an ideal situation for cBots or glancing at charts every hour or so.
This is happening on fresh install on both my data centre dedicated server and my home machine, so network or computer isn't at fault.
Please contact your broker regarding this issue.

Hi,
if there is(cTrader,cAlgo) such a thing as logging only able to retrieve data without the possibility of putting orders (like second password in mt4/5)?
Thanks
No, there is no investor password in cTrader. However you can share your trading statistics by connecting your account to such resources as myfxbook, FX Blue, etc.

RE:
For some reason cAlgo didn't create cBot samples. Try to download and install cbots. Also you can create a new cBot using New button.

RE:
Are you refering to our chart-shot feature?
To take a snapshot of your current chart you can use our "Chartshot" feature, located on the left-hand side toolbar
Click the icon and select the chart you want to take a snapshot of by hovering over it (you will see the chart highlighted when the mouse is over it), click it and a picture will be saved in your Documents/cTrader/Chartshots folder.
Does this answear your question ?
Best regards.
