Is there a way to make swap rates available within ctrader. I assume from a software perspective these are uploaded by the brokerage. Ideally if these could then be exported as a CSV file.

Hello,

You are correct that Swaps are decided by and uploaded by your broker. They are shown in the cTrader platform in either the Symbol Info window or panel. There is no feature to export the Swap rates from the platform. You should contact your broker directly and ask if they have spread sheets available for release with this information, and even historical records of them.

Many thanks,

Hi everone,

{quote} Dear Jakubdonovan, It is not in our immediate roadmap to implement a cTrader version for Mac. Even though we have done research on the subject, converting applications from Windows to Mac is not as straight forward as it sounds. Besides the conversion there is also the maintenance part where the application will need to be continuously tested and supported. Therefore it means that we will need to build an entire new team for this product.
Time to change the development language/framework for cTrader 3.0 ;-)

{quote} I'm actually the one who created that post and it was not what i had in mind. Let me show you how it should be done: {image}
Unfortunately, this cannot be done in cTrader/cAlgo right now, as the API does not support drawing/adding items onto the chart or any other WPF panel. If Spotware would open up the API, everything could be created by third party developers.

So here are my suggestions:
- open up the API like other trading platforms offer: custom charts, custom bars, custom drawing tools, custom connectors
- provide non time based chart types, especially Renko and Advanced Renko (with/without wicks, extension and inversion in ticks/percentage)
- provide market replay with rewind/forward/play/pause based on ticks and also complete bars

99% of feature requests from traders, can be implemented by third party developers without compromising the core product, if the first suggestion (opening up the API) could be realized.

Thanks for considering it!

Hi Ockham,

You have accidentally paste the code in the Indicators section. You need to paste it in the Robots section.

Hi BeardPower,

Thanks for your suggestions

1) Implementing Renko Charts is in our plans. We will keep you updated when this feature will be released.
2) Market Replay. We will add this suggestion in our wishlist backlog and we will consider it for future releases.
3) Extending our APIs is an on going target for us therefore expect that our products will become more and more extensible as the time passes

Thanks for answer but no it is an indicator, just a pip counter.

The "Commission required" you see, is per order.

The history shows the total commission for your trade. It's two times the "Commission required", as a trade consists of two orders: A buy and a sell order.

2 x $0.96 = $1.92

Hi, i want to ask about advance take profit and Stop loss Break Even

i had set the take profit 1 and take profit 2 last night and the stop loss to break even, and i shutdown my computer.
today i see from my android, the price down to my take profit 1, but it's not taken.

i can't see the detail in android, but i open in another computer, the take profit 1 and 2 is missing and also the stop loss did not moved to Break even just like i have set it before.

Did the advance take profit can work if the computer where i set up take profit must online 24hr?

Thanks

After comparison with Metatrader 4 and Trading Station, the result is the same.

So it is not a bug.

This is caused by the number of candles.

A trendline in only valid for its timeframe.

Higher is the timeframe, better is the trendline.

Sorry for that.
