Spotware Systems, a financial technology company, has launched cTrader Desktop 4.8.
Starting now, you have the option to select where indicators will be displayed in a chart window:
- On the actual chart
- Beneath the chart alongside other indicators
- Below the chart in a separate section
- Combine multiple indicators as desired
The cTrader Automate platform now works seamlessly with popular coding environments like Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Rider, and Sublime Text. Simply select your preferred program from the menu, and you can immediately start coding your trading algorithm. All the necessary settings and configurations are already done for you, so your coding environment is ready to go.
Now you have the ability to export and share your backtesting and Market Replay reports with fellow traders. The report is easily accessible on both computers and smartphones, as it is in a web document format.
Running cBots Separately for Reduced Memory Usage
To reduce the amount of memory used by your PC, you have the option to run cBots separately from the cTrader Desktop app. By right-clicking on a cBot and selecting “Start in external process,” you can run it independently from the app. This allows you to close the cTrader app while your cBot continues to run. Additionally, you can run a cBot in an external process using CLI without ever launching cTrader Desktop.
Previously, chart controls created by trading algorithms were placed on the chart window frame. Now, cBots and indicators can attach chart controls to specific locations on the chart, based on time, price, or both. These chart controls will move along with the chart if it is being scrolled or zoomed. Spotware has added new properties to the Automate API, such as CurrentPrice for the Position object, and CurrentPrice and Distance for the Pending Order object.
Spotware has introduced a new event called “BarClosed” to their Automate API. This event allows cBot coders to select either the closing of a bar or the opening of another bar as the trigger for their automated trading strategy.
In cTrader backtesting, the calculation of swaps is now done based on the settings from your broker. This improves the accuracy of the backtesting results.
