You first have to extract them from the Zip file.

Once extracted, you should see a “.algo” file. You need to double click that to install.

Once installed, you should see them listed in “custom” submenu of the “indicators menu”. They'll be listed at the bottom until you restart cTrader and then they'll be listed in alphabetical order.

If that doesn't work, then you need to contact the developer as Panagiotis suggested

Have you seen these examples?

https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-algo/articles/for-developers/how-to-use-custom-indicators-in-cbots/#initialising-an-indicator

One way or the other you have to program it in your bot code, so reference the indicator in your bot instead of trying to read a value from teh chart

RE: costum indicators not showing

PanagiotisCharalampous said: 

Hi there,

We have released a hotfix (5.0.38). Can you please advise if it resolves your issue?

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Not for me. I had a chart on AUDJPY Renko10. All custom indicators were showing. Then I switched to CADJPY and they vanished.

I tried switching time frames, symbols, didn't help.

Looked in the algo tab to see what logs were displayed, and there were no errors erported for any indicator. All it said is indicator loaded/unloaded.

I couldn't get the indicators back on the chart without restarting cTrader.

I haven't found a way to consistently reproduce them disappearing. So far, it just seems to be randomly.

Version 5.0.38.32023

Hopefully you can get the latest version now and update to 5.0.38.

AGain, it's one of those things that people need to ask how much testing they do before releasing a version as this seems like something that should have been pretty straight forward and catching beforehand.

I experienced this as well. My cTrader was just updated to version 5.0.38, so hopefully they have that issue fixed now.

What's the spread on your US30 when you place the order?

On a few brokers, the spread is larger than the 2-point SL you set. 

If you're doing this in a bot or indicator, you need to check the spread before placing your order. It's not a guarantee since the spread could hypothetically change at any given moment, but it's a good safety check

Get the position, and then check the stoploss value.

if (p.StopLoss.GetValueOrDefault() == 0)

{

    //no stoploss on the position. DO what you want to do.

}

Hi firemyst,

We were able to reproduce this some days ago and we are working on a solution.

Best regards,

Thank you for the update.

I am going to have my VPS reimaged again since your team no longer needs it now.

cTrader updated to 5.0.36 and the issue still persists.

I've left my VPS up if the Spotware team wants to go back in and have a look and see for themselves.

you need to put this in the Suggestion forum:

Yes, you are.

First of all, you can choose what lines you want displayed on the chart:

Second, if you write your own code, just get the symbol's “ASK” price or “BID” price depending on what you want to display.

eg: Symbol.Ask

zossles said: 

Any updates on this issue? It's affecting us on our VPS as well. cTrader keeps “losing touch” with running bot instances as described in this thread. We discovered this two weeks ago when we were wondering why our bots weren't taking trades they were supposed to. They just “stopped” logging anything, but cTrader still showed them as running.

It's frustrating that now there's at least 2 users reporting this issue, and there still doesn't seem to be any movement on it even though I:

• sent them emails (Screen captures above in this thread where they acknowledge receipt of the emails) in August on what the issue is and how to reproduce
• provided them the exact source code I was using
• provided them full access to my VPS with the bots running where the issue outlined in the emails happens all the time
• provided them a YouTube video link demonstrating the issue and how I reproduce it

People would probablyt be more inclined to help you if you used the “insert code block” option and pasted in nicely formatted code instead of what you have.

And try to get somewhere close to how they are implemented in ThinkMarkets ThinkTrader as no other platform comes close to the exception way they've implemented their alerts.

They're all cloud-based, and can be set for any indicator and any option (price cross, indicator cross, indicator levels, etc).

I use ThinkTrader solely for this purpose because they're so excellently done, and being cloud based with push notifications (so they work on desktop, mobile, web, etc) it doesn't matter how we're logged into the app - we get notified:

You already can. Just create a new alert:

Could part of your problem is the mdiEma values are based on the calculated values of the MdiSmooth;

But then your MdiSmooth values are based on your mdiEma.

You seem to have an infinite recursion. It's like asking, what came first, the seed or the plant?

I hope you're not expecting a response and just posting a general statement because you've posted no screen shots, haven't mentioned the time it happened, or anything else.
