Fintech company Spotware Systems has released cTrader Desktop 4.8.

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.

Export Backtesting and Market Replay Reports

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.

Run cBots Separately from the cTrader App

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.

Controls on Charts in Automate API

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.

Spotware has implemented new properties to Automate API:

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

New event BarClosed

Spotware 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.
