Try Market Replay

With Market Replay, users can test their trading ideas and approaches based on historical tick data. Traders can increase and decrease the playback speed. This not only allows traders to test out new approaches, but also serves as an educational tool for beginners.

Honestly, Market replay is USELESS if we don't have the option to switch between timeframes.

I really don't understand why you guys haven't been able to enable this, first in the backtesting tool and now in market replay, when having tick or 1 minute data, the only thing you need to do is to construct the higher time frames using the same data.

Any serious trader, does a multi-timeframe analysis when using a manual trading strategy. 

I was waiting so long for Market replay, and very excited when it was released. Just to later see you guys have only implemented a copy of the backtesting tool, and added a few buttons. Sad! So upseting!

Hope timeframe switching for Backtesting/Markey Replay is somewhere in your near pipeline.

BR. Back to MT4 Simulations.

Indicator Panels on Charts WORKAROUND is worst than what we had - LISTEN suggestions already provided

Hi

Please LISTEN this suggestion https://ctrader.com/forum/suggestions/40444  on how to tackle this issue. What was done was worse than what we had. We want a toggle to hide/show the indicators info, NOT a hard cut of indicator info/settings. Now we don't have neither a clean screen without indicators nor complete details of indicators. Check the suggestion, just copy what TradingView already does (and Quantower and many others). Also, provide the viewing option in the API like all other viewing options. With this in the API I would do this toggle myself with an indicator.

Thanks and sorry about the negative comment but sometimes seems that you guys have very good developers on some areas of cTrader but in other areas, they seem below graduates. For instance, how about offering in the API to print text/labels with better positioning, colors and font families? how about a proper fibonacci drawing tool to define multiple configurations, levels, colors and text/labels for each level?

Nonetheless and regarding all other changes, overall, good work (but give multi timeframe for market reply btw)

Sorry about the rant :)

Dear ctrader team,

Thank you for always working to perfect ctrader.
There seems to be something wrong with this version because when I run the same bot with the same data source, the results running at ctrader 4.7.7 are significantly reduced compared to version 4.6.6.

Please note this issue and if possible fix it in the next versions.

I found the cause. Because the Fractal indicator has been modified in ctrader version 4.7 and my bot uses this indicator.
Thank you very much for always working to improve ctrader better and better.
