Codifique un algoritmo de prueba para cTrader Store

Una versión de prueba de un algoritmo suele ser necesaria para que los creadores de algoritmos puedan seguir una estrategia de distribución eficaz en cTrader Store. Este artículo explica cómo introducir limitaciones en las versiones de prueba de cBots, indicadores y plugins a nivel de código.

Consejo

Duplique su algoritmo principal para crear una versión de prueba, añádale limitaciones como se explica en esta guía y luego publique una prueba en cTrader Store.

Limitaciones de la prueba

Las limitaciones de la prueba garantizan que los posibles compradores puedan probar el comportamiento general, la lógica y la calidad de su algoritmo, pero no puedan replicar completamente la funcionalidad de la versión de pago.

Las limitaciones comunes en el código de los algoritmos de prueba incluyen:

  • Operaciones solo en demo
  • Operaciones solo en backtesting
  • Límite de beneficios diarios
  • Símbolo y período codificados
  • Parámetros codificados
  • Y más

Solo demo

Permita que el bot de prueba se ejecute solo en cuentas demo. Si un usuario lo adjunta a una cuenta real, el cBot deja de ejecutarse.

Solo backtesting

Permita que el cBot funcione solo durante los backtests. Si un usuario intenta utilizar el algoritmo para operar en condiciones reales, no ocurre nada.

Operaciones limitadas en el tiempo

Codifique el cBot para que envíe una fecha de inicio vinculada al cTID del usuario cuando se inicie, y configúrelo para que deje de funcionar después de un período fijo. Para evitar que los usuarios eviten la configuración de inicio de la prueba, considere utilizar un servicio de API remoto o una solución segura similar.
