Dear Developer,
Thank you for presenting an interesting hybrid concept combining swing and scalping strategies within a single framework.
During testing, the initialization and signal filtering logic appeared well structured. However, the system showed very poor robustness in long-period backtesting, resulting in a significant equity loss.
Additionally, repeated NullReferenceException crashes occurred during execution, suggesting that some internal objects may not be properly initialized under certain runtime conditions.
You may consider adding stronger validation checks and fail-safe guards around strategy modules to improve stability.
Best regards

In the backtest, what estimated spread did you use?
Regarding the spread settings in cTrader: Unlike other platforms, cTrader uses actual historical tick data (Bid/Ask prices) provided directly by the broker's server. This means the spread is not a 'fixed' manual setting; instead, the backtest reflects the real market conditions exactly as they occurred.
The algorithm is specifically designed to capitalize on this. It is programmed to execute trades only during known low-spread periods (UTC 07:00 to 20:00). By using real historical data, the backtest accurately confirms that the bot avoids high-spread volatility and only enters the market when conditions are optimal.

Would you mind sharing your default settings of the backtest? I'm not long enough of a trader to set it to a decent basic and chatgpt is misguiding me into deactivating all the filters....
sorry to hear that. sure, i will share the parameters later today for you to restore.
