List all strategies with no discrimination

cTrader Copy official platform has applied a new criterion to hide strategies which have had no open positions since last Saturday(26 Feb 2023).

The search result also doesn't return the strategy name if there is no position!     

I don't think it's a fair criterion, for those SPs who only trade intraday or have open positions in a short time (e.g. close average in or less than an hour)  Even if they have trade almost every day.

I suggest restoring previous criteria to list all strategies without discrimination and letting users or investors can manually set on/off for the criterion

does that means all scalpers will be gone???

that's sad.

At least one executed deal:

This went from 30 days to 24 hours? Really?

Okay. This is getting ridiculous.

Hello,

More than discrimination this is about to promote/encourage some particular trading style(s).

I would love to hear what can be the criteria behind such rules. To satisfy some brokers?

As you can see, a killing strategy (ROI > -90%), when overtrading is, to Spotware, very welcome to be included in the strategies list.

Obviously, there is no possible justification for this. At least not a justification compliant with the motto "Traders First".

So far, I feel like I give one step forward and Spotware pulls me 2 steps back due to all the increasing and ridiculous limitations adopted.

Keep on thinking that traders are dumbs does not sound very intelligent at all.

RE: RE:

you're right. this promotes over-trading and encourages people to trade as frequent as possible and that will eventually lead to more losses. we're traders and we know that.

Hi Tarwada,

And that's very compliant with the motto Traders First, isn't it? ????

Essentially Spotware is saying:

We don't care if your profitable system is dictating you should not trade today, we want you to execute trades every day for the benefit of the broker and for our benefit. If you are a swing trader that does not have positions on at all times you will not appear on the list. If you are intraday trader with short term trades you will also not appear on the list. You must have a position on are all times and pay swap fees. 

Excellent business logic! (This is sarcasm btw). Keep going this way and let's see where we are in one year.

Hi phaedonk,

It's in fact a great business model.

After all, they care about their clients: the brokers!

"TRADERS FIRST"

This means that Ctrader is forcing strategy providers to continuously open trades. And also force investors to copy open trades, because they can only see a strategy when it has at least one trade. This is crazy.

Very very bad idea

yes, this is a really very very bad idea
