Thanks to CTrader for following up on some of the suggestions on here. I would really like to see the option to display the price bars/candles on the foreground, rather that have every indicator and line display on the top of the price bars. To me the price bars are the most important feature of a chart and shouldn't be hidden by other items.
Hello,
We will consider your suggestion. Additionally you can vote for it at: http://vote.spotware.com/forums/2291...e-candlesticks

Currently we do not plan to implement a cTrader version for Mac OS. The reason why we don't pursue a native Mac application is because cTrader Web (which runs on all new browsers including Safari) provides an identical user experience to our downloadable cTrader platform. We would appreciate if you tried it out on your MAC. You can find our Spotware demo at: ct.spotware.com

This is great! Thank you. I already love all the feature rich "order handling" capabilities.

Now could y'all just PLEASE make the darn Fibs SNAP or at least give us input fields to enter the high/low .. low/high of swings? Do just this and I'll never use another platform again. Until it's done, I'll never use cTrader.

Hey, what can I say? I'm a fib trader and need quick on the fly fib capabilities. Been requesting this here, on your site, thru cTrader and even had my TW broker send the request to you for over a year now. And oh yeah, the voting thing as well.

I'm no programmer but I'd think this would be quite simple compared to all this in depth order handling you're doing?

Thanks .... hopefully ....

Sorry Ctrader i am not against you guys. I love this platform allot. But you guys need to implement Features fast if there are so many votes. I need Range bars do this for god's sake. please.

A suggestion...


It would be useful to add an option where we could set a auto break even with our SL and TP.

Right now we have to do this after we place a trade!!

Yeah I guess. It's really kind of funny as trend lines already do snap to price and if I remember (been a long time since I had it open) have input fields as well.

Can't they just sort of slide that code into the fib section? ... ... lol

Call me simple (cause I am) and not that I don't appreciate all the fancy stuff (although all that additional code is sure to suck up more resources) but, all I really need for orders is an open and close button.

Yes trend lines got that feature but not FIB lol. Even if it's possible to slide that code to FIB lol they'll not do it(Million Votes baby). This guys are funny.

That Auto BE feature is also just useless, We have to put that manually for each and every order we open. Frustrating. As i am a Scalper, what if market goes fast lol and i am busy setting up their Break even stuff and boom my SL gets hit. Really The only thing useful is Open and Close buttons

This platform is only used for opening and closing orders. Really irritated now lol.

Please allow brokers to add more tick data on cAlgo, I requested my broker(Pepperstone) to add more tick data they said to me it's not possible to add more than current amount because of the platform limitation, Also add the feature of adding Tick data manually in form of CSV files on cAlgo.
Without an edge MM is useless!

Voted for Break Even feature. Hope you guys add it soon, As it's important part in my trading. And why not still range bars in Ctrader? If you can give us a time period when Range bars will be included in Ctrader?

I'm using cTrader to trade the DAX spot index with FXPro and I've experienced issues with price action freezing during periods of high volatility and then the price action resuming, (with a gap on the 1 min chart), when the high volatility subsides, by which time its too late to place the trade. I've raised this issue with the broker but the reason I have been given is "technical issues with the liquidity provider" - Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Hello,

I downloaded the cTrader IOS platform today and cannot login no matter what I do. I have reset my password twice, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app 3 times. No matter what I do, it says 'invalid acct number or password".

I even changed my pass to only include upper and lowercase letters. I've tried copying and pasting password, and typing one by one, over and over...nothing.

Very frustrating. Is it just me?

Is it because I'm in the USA? Seems that's always the reason for anything forex related!

There is no limitation on the historical tick data. It's in our plans to provide users with the ability to upload tick data manually in the future.

It's also in our plans to provide users with range bars in the future. However, we cannot provide you with an ETA.

Presently there are no cTrader brokers who are based within the United States. However you can download and use a demo account from our website.
In addition, could you please send us an email at [email protected] with more details regarding your issue?

Does cTrader offer FIX protocol to other brokers. I have an account at EXANTE and they are willing to allow me to trade algorithmically providing I can connect via FIX to a platform that will allow it.

Hi,

This doesn't really answer my question. I am wondering whether you can connect via FIX to a specific broker or only those you offer. The link you sent is relatively vague in that it takes me into a number of different directions and doesn't really narrow down my question. Do you provide this service? If I bought the platform, could I set up a FIX API/Protocol to my broker who offers FIX or not?

If you do not need charts etc, you can use any fix engine, there are free, open source, engines like fix8 or quickfix; or proprietary ones like onixs etc.
Or, if you need charts etc, try multicharts or ninja trader, I think they can connect via fix.
