From now on, you can choose where to show indicators in a chart window:

• On the chart itself
• Under the chart in one panel with other indicators
• Under the chart in a new panel

• Combine several indicators as you like.

cTrader Automate is now fully integrated with external development environments: Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Rider and Sublime Text. Choose your preferred programme from the drop-down menu and start to code a trading algorithm instantly. All configurations are already set and your IDE is ready for work.

You requested it, so we did it! Now you can export, open and share the backtesting or Market Replay reports with other traders. Report is a web document so you can open it on a PC as well as on a smartphone.

To save your PC’s RAM, you can run cBots in an external process separately from the cTrader Desktop app. Right-click on a cBot and choose “Start in external process”. Now you can close the cTrader app and your cBot will continue to run. Also, you can run a cBot in an external process using CLI without launching cTrader Desktop at all. Find out more in our Help Center.

We have developed one more thing to increase algorithmic trading stability. If a cBot process crashes, it will be automatically restarted by cTrader.

Do you use indicators with many parameters? Now you can export and import parameters of your indicators from a file and also share it with other traders.

Our invented functionality can switch a cBot to sleep mode for a certain period of time or until a specific time. The most important thing is that compared to System.Threading.Thread.Sleep() the new method fully supports backtesting. Find out more in our Help Center.

Algorithms now have specific folders for working with files. When running cBots and custom indicators, data can be securely saved and used as needed without full access to the user’s PC. Find out more in our Help Center.

Previously chart controls created by trading algorithms were attached to the chart window frame. Now cBots and indicators can attach chart controls to the chart by time, price or time and price. If the chart is moving, the chart controls move with it.

We have implemented new properties to Automate API:

• Property CurrentPrice to the Position object
• Properties CurentPrice and ‘Distance’ to the object ‘Pending Order’

A new ‘Symbol’ property appeared in Automate API. We added it to the following objects: Position, PendingOrder, HistoricalTrade.

We added a new BarClosed event to Automate API. When coding a cBot, you can choose a triggering event: the closing of one bar or the opening of another. Find out more in our Help Center.

Now we calculate swaps in cBot backtesting according to your broker’s settings. That’s why backtesting results have become even more accurate.
