The addition of user defined time offset is in progress and will be available in one of the nearest releases. This will not remove Sunday bars, offseting the time will shift the time of the bar to appear that the bar is on Monday 00:00:00 instead of  Sunday 23:00:00.

Brokers have their own liquidity.

cTrader does not have a liquidity network. Spotware Systems that produces cTrader is a software company, not a broker.

If the label of the position is the same as the label of the pending order it means the pending order was filled.

You can use Labels for this. Use the OnTick event to check for the positions with the label set when the order was created. Please see the examples here.

If the order fails to be filled due to invalid values being set then the error event will be raised and the error message will be technical error:

protected override void OnError(Error error)
{
       // Do something if there is an error
       Print("Error: {0}", error.Code);
}

C# is case sensitive: abc is different than Abc.

To avoid typos use the intellisense. By typing enter when the correct variable/type etc is located (highlighed) from the intellisense dropdown menu the selected keyword is inserted:

// Global scope, outside any method (function)
private double one = 0.0;

// local scope, e.g. inside the OnTick event
bool somethingHappens = Symbol.Ask.Equals(1.2); // for instance

if (somethingHappens && one.Equals(0.0))
{
    // if one does not equal zero, execution of the program will not reach here
    one = Symbol.Ask;

Technical errors are due to invalid values. Therefore, most probably the Take Profit you are setting cannot be applied to all open orders. You would have to modify the code to calculate the value for take profit instead of assigning the same value to all.

This section of the forum includes examples of code. This is an example of how to use MarketDepth. The values indicated do not correspond to the bars above. If you notice they are updated constantly according to level 2 data. You can build a custom indicator that shows historical data using this example as a reference.

If you need help with the code please post your questions in the indicator development support section of the forum.

To calculate the total pips for all open positions you can use this loop:

    double totalPips = 0;
    foreach (var position in Account.Positions)
    {
        totalPips += position.Pips;
    }

We are working on performance optimizations but 17 charts with heavy indicators is a little excessive and may always have a cost on performance.
