Product Purchased with Source Code

DO NOT USE ANY FOLDERS WITH THE WORD SOURCE CODE, THIS IS FOR PROGRAMMERS
If you have purchased the full source code you will need programming skills to add new features and change the code and trading logic to suit your needs, if you do not have any programming experience you can request the services from our development team.

How to attach an indicator to a chart
For each of the indicators, you can check them by adding them to a chart in cTrader Automate, to do this you just need to add an instance.

Sure, can you export your parameter settings as a text file and upload it here using the upload cbotset option.

Thanks, you have a max spread of 0, which means if the spread is greater than 0, no trades will open, and the spread on EURUSD can be 0.1 - 1, change this to 5.

Also your stop loss and take profit values are 0, so no trades will close.

Have you installed the example settings?

Someone shared their settings in the link below, start with them and adjust for EURUSD.

I would also recommend optimising your own settings to get started.

We also offer an optimisation service for a fee, but there is plenty of information on how to do this yourself.

I would start by learning about all the settings and how they work from the user guide, learn how the trading system works and also get familiar with using cTrader Automate before you start using the robot, this could take many days.

Mike

I will put together a quick example of settings for EURUSD for you tomorrow to get started.

This the result after watching the video changing accordingly and run the optimizer.

Hi, Sinan,

I have sent you an email with links to some updated files, this should fix the optimisation issues you are getting above, I ran the optimisation on the cTrader application and it worked fine. I am now optimisation some example settings to help you as promised.

EURUSD Optimised Settings

You can download the example settings for a backtest below.

The results are 27% Net profit with a 4% Equity drawdown over a backtest range from 22.02.2022 - 22.02.2023

Mike

I will send you the same cBot via email and go through the process step by step so your backtest also works as above, let me know when you receive the file. I will await your response.

Hello Sinan i use this bot for trading, if you need help ask away

Mike

Hi, Sinan, welcome back, you can upload images using the blue button that states upload image

Change the timeframe to 1 hour and try again, this is your backtest range 22.02.2022 - 22.02.2023

It looks like you changed the timeframe to 5 minutes and had a different backtest end date.

Make sure you are using the following backtest settings.

Sometimes a broker can make a difference, can you tell me your broker name?

You must also be aware you purchased a product that requires you to optimise and find your own settings, we do not provide settings by default for all symbols.

If you provide the information I will help you.
