Customising an Algorithm

If you are the author of an algorithm, you can customise how it appears to other users.

To customise a cBot, open its page, tap on the 'three dots' icon in the bottom-right corner and then tap on 'Public Settings'. For indicators and plugins, 'Public Settings' is instead a button located at the bottom of the algorithm page.

Setting the Avatar

You can upload an image that will effectively serve as the 'avatar' of an algorithm. It will be shown to all algorithm users, so make sure to upload something informative and good-looking.

To upload an image or change an existing one, tap on the 'pencil' icon next to the existing avatar or the placeholder image. Tap on 'Upload New Image' and then select the file you would like to upload. Afterward, apply your changes.

Setting Performance Statistics

If you want, you can make sure that ROI charts will always be displayed on the algorithm page.

Note

The ROI charts are generated based on the performance of your chosen live trading account. They reflect all actions you perform, not just the actions performed by the algorithm.

To enable this option, switch to the 'Performance' tab in the 'Public Settings' screen. In this tab, tap on the 'Display ROI charts' checkbox and choose one of your live accounts in the selector below.

Backtesting

Backtesting statistics can only be set via cTrader Windows. Read more here.
