Description
cTrader cBot "QuotesWatcher" is designed for monitoring the quotes of financial instruments and identifying delays in their reception. If the delay for a specific symbol exceeds the specified time (MaxIdleTimeSeconds) or a custom value in SymbolsDelays.txt, the bot sends a warning to the terminal log and also duplicates the notification to an external messenger using webhooks.
Settings:
- MaxIdleTimeSeconds (int, DefaultValue = 60) β The maximum allowable delay time in seconds between the reception of quotes for each symbol. If the delay exceeds this value, the bot sends a warning.
- WarningIntervalSeconds (int, DefaultValue = 10) β The interval in seconds during which the bot sends a warning again if the delay still exceeds the allowable value.
- DelayAfterSessionStart (int, DefaultValue = 60) β The delay in seconds after the start of a trading session during which the bot does not send warnings.
- SymbolsFilePath (string, DefaultValue = "...file path\SymbolsDelays.txt") β The path to the file containing a list of symbols and individual delay values for each of them.
- WebhookUrl (string, DefaultValue = "https://web.hook.com/") β The webhook URL for sending notifications to an external messenger (HTTP request + JSON schema).
Summary
AI summary
cTrader cBot "QuotesWatcher" monitors the quote feed of financial instruments to detect delays in quote reception. It tracks each symbol's quote update intervals and compares them against a configurable maximum allowable delay (MaxIdleTimeSeconds). If a symbol's quote delay exceeds this threshold or a custom delay specified in an external file (SymbolsDelays.txt), the bot issues a warning message to the terminal log. Additionally, it sends duplicate notifications to an external messenger via a configurable webhook URL using HTTP requests with JSON payloads.
Key configurable settings include:
- MaxIdleTimeSeconds: maximum allowed delay in seconds before triggering a warning.
- WarningIntervalSeconds: frequency in seconds for repeated warnings if delays persist.
- DelayAfterSessionStart: grace period after session start during which warnings are suppressed.
- SymbolsFilePath: path to a file defining individual delay thresholds per symbol.
- WebhookUrl: URL endpoint for sending external notifications.
This bot is designed to assist traders and system administrators in promptly identifying and responding to quote feed interruptions or latency issues across multiple financial instruments.

the setup becomes easier to judge for algo trading if the trader keeps control. A 83 setup sample on M5 should show whether it really helps.

After 1 month, the useful part became clearer. 30 demo trades was enough to see whether it helped, and 0.5 percent risk kept the test grounded. The concern starts when the journal stops looking stable.
