Dear traders,
We plan to start working on officially supporting Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 soon. Until official support is released, you can use this workaround provided by the community /forum/calgo-support/8514 which exlpains how to update the .vsix file. We have tested it as well and it works fine on both VS2015 and VS2017.

Dear vedatduz,
Thanks for your suggestions. Please be advised that we will add the horizontal line comment on a future release. We will also consider adding Risk to Reward ratio in the Create Order form. In the meanwhile, you can see information regarding risk when selecting Stop Loss. You can see your risk as an absolute amount as well as a percentage of your balance. You can also see information about reward when you check Take Profit. Again, you can see your reward as an absolute amount as well as a percentage of your balance. See screenshot below
Also you can see information about your risk when you mouse hover the Volume text box like the screenshot below

Dear traders,
We would like to contribute to this conversation by sharing with you some preliminary plans that we have for cMirror. First of all we are planning to introduce a chat feature that will allow communication between strategy provider and followers. This way you will be able to communicate in private. Also we plan to improve the description editing tools and support videos. This will help strategy providers to explain better their strategies.
We also welcome any other suggestions that will improve communications between strategy providers and followers.
Best Regards,

Dear trader,
Thanks for your post. It is not clear if you refer to cTrader's built-in indicators or to a custom indicator developed by a community member. If the second case applies, it would be better to communicate with the developer directly or reference him to the post so that he can reply. If you are takling about a built-in indicator, please post some screenshots so we can investigate your problem.

Hi xmforex9,
Thanks for providing additional information. Do you sign in with your cTID or your cTrader Account? Can you please give us the exact steps you are following and what the results are, so we can understand what do you mean when you say that nothing happens e.g. What happens after you fill the credentlans and press login? Do you see your cTID on the top right of the screen? Also, what browser are you using? Could we have some screenshots of what you see?

Dear Traders,
We have received many inquiries regarding US citizens being restricted from using our platform. Therefore, with this post we would like to address your questions and clarify why the situation is currently as is.
Spotware is a technology company and has no restrictions in offering its technology anywhere in the world. However, our technology is offered to you through brokers and not directly by us. As you all know, brokers and the services they offer are subject to regulations in different parts of the world. This is also the case in the United States, where very tight rules have been put in place surrounding the trading conditions that can be offered to retail investors. Most of these rules come from the Commodity Futures Trading Commision (CFTC) and the well known Dodd Frank Act.
Based on this regulatory environment, forex brokers that are not regulated in the United States are not allowed to offer their services to US citizens. Any such attempt would be considered fraudulent and legal action can be taken. In the past, offshore brokers that accepted or solicited US citizens as clients have been taken to the US courts. For this reason, even though Spotware are not directly liable for our clients actions, we do not want to be seen as a company that consented or enabled these brokers operate against clear guidelines.
Being a company that always puts Traders First, we want to make a clear statement to users for your protection, this is that our solution is not available to US citizens since, at present, none of the brokers offering cTrader is regulated in the United States. The restriction is not because the technology is prohibited or restricted in any way, but because there is no broker that can legitimately offer this service. As soon as a US regulated broker launches cTrader, we will inform you accordingly.
Best Regards,
cTrader Team

Dear trader,
There are a few different reasons that could cause tick volumes in cTrader and MT4 to be different e.g. the same broker's MT4 and cTrader receiving prices from a different price feed for their own business reason. However, in order for us to investigate this and clarify further, we will need to have additional information like the broker, the symbol, the timeframe and the time period (from/to) that this happened. Please send us some screenshots if possible.
