Hi Tj11,

You can write a function with a switch statement that does the conversion. See an example below

        private TimeFrame GetTimeFrameFromString(string timeframeString)
        {
            switch (timeframeString)
            {
                case "Hour":
                    return TimeFrame.Hour;
                    // .
                    // .
                    // .
                    // .
                    // .
                    // .
                    // .
                    // .
            }
            return TimeFrame.Hour;
        }

Tick chart with high quality tick data from specific broker and cTrader Copy capability to become public fund manager are significant advantages for me.

Hi Tj11,

No there is no such option. When the timeframe changes, a new indicator is initialized and the Initialize() method is called.

Hi Panagiotis,

If I got you right, changing the time frame will immediately execute the code inside Initialize() without waiting for a new tick, right ?

If yes, then this is exactly what I need. You saved my time. Thank you !

The below cBot has been developed to demonstrate some of the new features of [cTrader Automate API 3.01]. The "LinesTrader cBot" allows traders to draw lines on chart which can be used a break out or retracement lines. If the price crosses a Breakout Line then an order towards the crossing direction is placed. If the price crosses a Retracement Line then an order towards the opposite direction of the crossing is placed.

Hi, is there a simpler way to get the indicator know that I draw a line or rectangle on the chart ?

RE:

Hi Tj11,

1) You cannot change a timeframe on a chart when a cBot is running.

2) cBots cannot reference indicators being on the chart.

Therefore you can consider writing information into a file as a workaround.

Right, when i found cTrader for the first time I was amazed with it's potential. And I wondered how can such a good platform is not widely popular ????     After using it i realized basic features are lacking :

1. cTrader desktop :   no access to chart object (rectangles, etc.) anchor points, how to draw a straight horizontal trendline ???,  chart objects overlay candles.

2. cTrader Algo :        no exporting into excel, documentation is not done properly.

3. cTrader Copy :       is messing investor's account by funding fees into signal provider's trading account, no transparency on real drawdown of a signal provider.

Regardless a big potential, the package currently looks immature.

Hi pooria222222,

Your example is a bit over exaggerated. When your account receives the deposit from your fees, your followers subaccounts will be adjusted to reflect the new equity to equity ratio. Here some positions will partially close in profit or loss, depending on the market condition at the moment. After that the two positions will have a different entry price due to the partial closing of the position of the follower. Indeed the follower might have more loss than you but more profit as well depending on where the partial closing took place. such discrepancies are expected and they are clearly described in our EULA which has been agreed before the strategy following has started.

Panagiotis,

This creates big mess for a good signal. May I know if it is going to be fixed ?

Solution could be to fund performance fees to a separate account, not to the one that signal is provided from.

Thank you for the answer in advance.

Hi

I am a strategy manager , I have a big problem by adding performance fee to my balance on my deals and making problem to my money managment

for example I keep balance 100$ , I open 0.1 lot EU for 10pip TP,  to give 10% gain , suddenly performance fee (200) adds to my balance, now I dont know what happened for my copier! The risk is changed , hitting TP makes 3% gain because my balance is increased  ! 

Solution :adding performance and volume  fee ONLY at the end of month ONLY after all of deals is CLOSED.

Is it possible doing that ? or needs time ?

Isn't it better to put performance fees to separate account ?   Not the account that the signal is translated from.

Wow, this is big mess for a good signal !

Hi Tj11,

It is in our plans to add the option to lock the Y axis scale. I also wanted to make the point that many of the suggesitons are duplicated. It is better to search first and see if something has been suggested and vote for it before duplicating the suggestion. Else the suggestion loses one vote.

the rest is clear, thank you.

Hi Panagiotis,

From telegram gif I understand that the price autoscale is available and not altered when scrolling with mouse, this is great, thanks.

Please do not switch off price autoscale when scrolling back to the history. The same MT4 allows fixed scale and autoscale on USER CHOICE. Why don't you allow us to choose wether we want price autoscale, fixed scale or we don't from chart settings ????

Price autoscale is really important to navigate the history - essential in my trading. Please allow users to choose it in settings.

What do you think ?

Does cTrader management want cTrader to be used only by candle stick traders  ?

I hope you want other traders as well, that require easy chartr navigation with price axis autoscale always on.

Please make it ctrl + mouse scroll.

Please leave plain mouse scroll to scroll X axis with price autoscale on  ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or allow the price autoscale always on in chart options  ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

please do not make cTrader a crazy charting

RE:

Panagiotis Charalampous said:

Hi Tj11,

I am not sure what is the problem here. cTrader dsipays based on UTC +/- and not based on a specific timezone, in constrast to MT4 where the timezone is set by the broker. The dates in cTrader are consistent based on UTC time since UTC time doesn't shift anywhere. In MT4 they are dispayed in one timezone before the 4th of November and in another after. If you want your strategy to wotk on a specific timezone, you can always use TimeZones  to set the timezone.

Also this comment is not very clear to me

I hope CTrader charting capabilities will at least catch up with MT4

What do you think is better in MT4 charting than in cTrader?

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Panagiotis,

Here are the things that, I think, CTrader charting is missing :

1. Basics (must have):

a. Access to adjust price1 and price2 of trendlines, rectangles.

b. Filled rectangles hide candles and buy/sell buttons behind.

c. Switching Y axis autoscale on/off in chart settings.

d. X axis autoscroll on/off from chart settings when changing time frames.

2. Good to have :

a. Allow switching off quick buttons attached to every chart to free up horizontal space (screenshot 2a below).

b. Allow adding/removing used/unused buttons for chart objects panel (screenshot 2b below).

c. Allow hiding elements on the top of application (screenshot 2c).

d. Allow hiding elements on the left (screenshot 2d).
