Enjoy Uninterrupted Operations with Fault Tolerance of cBots
A cBot will now continue running even if an unhandled exception occurs. Additionally, algo developers can now handle such errors using a new "OnException" method in Automate API. Find out more in our Help Center.

Customise Mouse Wheel Actions
Users can now choose the preferred action for the mouse wheel on charts: zoom in/out or scroll.

Use Local Storage
Local storage is a convenient way to save data on a user’s computer without requesting full access, even if cBots and indicators stop or start again. Find out more in our Help Center.

Backtest on Renko and Range Charts
Our users requested it, so we did it! Now users can backtest cBots on Renko and range charts.

Calculate Volume Based on Risk
We have added several new Automate API methods to calculate order volume or stop loss distance in pips based on acceptable risk.

Simplify Your Exchange Rate Conversion
The new "Convert()" method in Automate API allows algo developers to effortlessly convert currencies using the latest market rates. This means that algo developers no longer need to manually code the conversion process and can now benefit from an automated solution. Find out more in our Help Center.

Differentiate by Instance ID
Every running cBot and indicator instance now has its own ID that is saved by the system even if cTrader restarts and can be used by developers in algo programming.

Define Color Parameter Type
Developers can now add color parameter types to their algorithms. Users can set up color parameters using the color picker.

Export cBot Optimization Parameters
Algo developers can now save, export and re-use their cBot optimisation settings: an extra time-saving convenience perk.

Backtest on Historical Conversion Rates
Currency conversion in backtesting has become even more precise because it is now based on historical conversion rates.

Awesome!
Big, useful and necessary features that I and probably many algo developers have been waiting for. These additions alone were enough to bring me back to cTrader. Can't wait to rewrite my algos back to cTrader.
Especially Renko-Range backtest and optimization possibilities are a very big improvement. But Local Storage and Rate Conversion are also great enrichments.

I don't know what or who put this on the agenda and made it possible, but I am very grateful. Very much appreciated.

Awesome new features! About time we got the color parameter and Exception handling method!

Now all we need is an update to Renko charts with an option to show the "tails" and not just the open/close prices of each bar.

Thanks @Spotware!

load wrong data

I create a strategy (range chart) but when I backtest, Ctrader load data (tick data) of many order pair of currency (I backtest XAUUSD, but Ctrader load tick data of EURUSD, then XAUEUR,...). Why?
