quote Before the next update will you please address the RAM use for? We desparately want something about the memory hogging on the program. There are other traders who have spoken out about the lagging and the CPU and RAM hogging by and cAlgo. There is no reason for people to need to forfeit so much RAM and CPU use for easy charting. This is what is really killing the program. It doesn't feel light and easy to use like Metatrader 4 particularly when using over 10 charts.

Hi Dimi, we are aware that under specific conditions can use more resources than might seem necessary, its in our immediate plans to further maximize the performance of our platforms and we are doing so in each and every launch. This will be achieved using a number of approaches that are different at the front and back of the system. A new variant of for Windows could be expected now.

quoteAdditionally, we want the ability to be able to customize which timeframes indiors look on charts eg. Moving Averages etc.. Please consider these requests that are basic.

This also is in our immediate plans.

quoteAnother thing that actually puts me off is the commissions arrangement on. I am with Pepperstone along with the commission on is generally the amount of the commissions of MT4? And asserts that their platform is appropriate for scalpers nevertheless their commission arrangement is practically double MT4's. How are we supposed to scalp?

While I must stay neutral on the topic, I have to state that the 99 percent of trading requirements are configured by brokers and have absolutely nothing to do with or Spotware, if you want some clarifiion, please do contact with your broker.

quoteThe entire weekend I could not log into CTDN because there was another difficulty on their side so I needed to pull out the trusty old MT4 to perform my weekend analysis.

As already clarified by incognito517, we were performing scheduled maintenance over the weekend. We use this period while the markets have been closed for pursuits.

Thank you for your feedback Dimi.A

quote 2 on this.

It is in our plans, no ETA is available at this time.

quotewould be nice to be able to alter the time frame of charts in the current work-space at precisely the exact same time. So if you're in multi-chart mode the time frame of charts changes, but if you're in chart mode the TF of the current chart changes.

Thanks for the proposal, we will consider it!

quoteOther good to haves is: 1. Risk based lot sizing.

We're producing something similar but not precisely this, I hope you will like it more and it will be available quite soon.

quote2. The ability to enter orders via lines on the chart.

We already have this feature.

Thanks for your comments.

I think it is good and possible to add: Split position order / Partial closing commerce Combining several open transactions into a single commerce (Price corrected ) - using ticking boxes choice to perform it

Thanks for your suggestion, this can expand nicely on our present choices to partially close, double and reverse open positions.

Constructed in News calendar Constructed in Finance associated news Great to have a Trusted study and fundamental of it.

All of these providers are something that we provide. We are integrated with a number of news, calendar, technical and fundamental analysis providers, but it is up to the broker to select which provider they wish to provide for their traders. Here's one of our newest integration with http://www.financemagnates.com/forex...h-and-signals/

Thanks for your ideas!

If you can make switching workspaces 90189I would appreciate.

Workspaces, should act more like browser tabs. But in the present time, it looks like each time you change WS, ctrader loads it from the beginning from the server. It takes 5 minutes to change WS. In the event that you want to revert to WS, ctrader hangs and takes another 5 minutes.

Thanks.

Thank you for the answer cTrader.

As regards already having the capability to enter orders via drag-able lines on the chart. Unless I'm missing something that I do not think you've. Once an order has been entered you are able to proceed the pending order line on the chart and move the SL and TP traces as well. This works very well. If you enter your order and move the level you are subsequently changing your risk. You have to start the order window and modify the lot size to get the risk you want for the order level and SL that you need. This can be time consuming and runs the risk your order may be triggered changing the lot size to that required for the stop.

What would be great is if you can haul the 3 lines (pending order, SL and TP) into the required amounts (this may be done on the chart in the order window, or on the principal chart) rather than having to manually key in the amounts. Then enter your lot size (which now could be automatically calculated based on required risk as the stop loss level is understood ). Then confirm your order together with all three levels set up at precisely the time and the correct risk. The point is that the traces are available to be hauled ahead of the order being set.

As a further point it could be better if the stop loss and target levels can be entered as amounts, rather than pip distances from entrance. Or at least have both options available.

Looking forward to the next release.
Cheers

901891 Structure (s)

quote Thanks for the Answer. As regards having the ability to enter orders via lines on the chart. I do not believe you have, unless I'm missing something.

To elaborate, Underneath the QuickTrade buttons on each chart is a handle which can be dragged and put on the chart, it is only shown if you hover over (see below). As soon as you shed the handle a position is made. What's entered in this section determines the position's volume. Stop Loss and Take Profit are instantly created with the order according to settings. Once placed, all three levels could be transferred on the chart, so distance and PL is shown, as well as the level that's indied in the Y axis. The one thing you would need to open the order panel for is to change the quantity, or add an expiry



I know this isn't exactly as you describe, because the order is put as you drop the handle. If I understand correctly you want similar functionality, but to behave as a draft order to the chart until you have configured all parameters and an easy way to change the volume of the place from the order line, then place it once finalized.

Thank you for your feedback!

90189how to scroll throug tabs aside from using the mouse?

My comments: that the desktop version is excellent piece the cell version leaves a lot to be desired. The connection to the host when launching the program is very slow. Currently I continue to use the mt4 mobile program once I need to assess the price. Not revealing one orders on the general price chart screen is weird, it's more time consumng needing to enter orders, then swipe to chart, then only being exhibited an uneditable chart (in regard to timeframes etc). And the ability to see charts only is fruing.

Make you mobile version similar to the Mt4 mobile program and then I believe you have a killer combination together with the desktop program.

quote If I understand correctly you want similar functionality, but to behave as a draft order to the chart until you have configured all parameters as well and an easy method to modify the volume of the position from the order line, then put it . Thank you for your feedback!

Exactly this yes. I think the most easy way to implement it is that once you open the New Pending Order window a line is on the chart within the order window that matches the price of this order. This could be dragged and also the price shown in the price area would change. Likewise when the stop loss and take profit check-boxes are assessed lines would subsequently show up on the charts such as them. These could be dragged in a similar fashion.

It might then also be nice to be able to have a field (and check box to enable) so you can size the trade from risk (as a proportion of account). Then as you move the stop loss the number of lots to be traded would also adjust. I think the way the display is at the moment with the profit area for stop loss and take profit this can be done manually (by adjusting the lot size until the necessary profit value is displayed (as a negative value) alongside stop loss). If it could be carried out It'd be nice.

The functionality that I'd like is basically what's provided from the mt4 script provided free of charge within this thread:
https://www.nigeriaforextrading.com/...d-raschke.html

Another method of doing it is executed from the X-Station charting package. This looks to work quite nicely as well, although they do not possess the automatic risk calculation , but the information is there and and the order amount, stop loss and TP are entered through the chart (although maybe not at the most obvious order to me).

Cheers again.

Is to stop ctrader opening browser tabs automatically. It does this at the browser opens facing ctrader once I am attempting to work on it. Enable it to turn off somewhere. Examples of when this occurs are if you log on to your ctrader account, and if you take snapshots of charts. Especially annoying when taking snapshots of charts - just because you have just taken the snapshot doesn't indicate you want to have it opened immediately.

Also the color of the lineup for alarms ought to be configurable. Would nice to see the arrow to the axis, rather than a line across the chart.

Cheers
