You have found a bug. What’s next?
If you faced an abnormal application’s behavior while using Quantower — don’t panic.
Bug or not?
In most cases, this will be misconfigured settings or misunderstood functionality, but sometimes it can be a bug (mistake) in application. So, let’s clarify how to detect that your case is a bug and how to submit a useful bug report to our support team.
First of all, you need to make sure that your case is a bug. To do this, please complete the following steps:
Make sure that you have the latest version of the application. We constantly release updates, containing the latest bug fixes, so your case can be one of those we have already fixed.
Refer to the feature documentation and make sure that your case DOES NOT contradict its normal behavior logic. Sometimes, some features logic in our application can be different from other applications that you are used to, and this is not a bug, but a subject to discussion or feature improvement. If your case was solved on this step — please refer to our discussion groups and share your feature enhancement vision with other traders.
Try to backup & reset your settings to defaults and check whether your case appears now. More about settings reset can be found in our video manual. Sometimes you can face strange behavior as a result of an accident (misunderstood) setting change. It can even be a single checkbox, switched on several days ago that you’ve forgotten about. If your case was solved on this step, please roll back your previous settings and try to reset them per each panel by removing (renaming) its folders in the "Settings" -> "plug-ins" folder. You may also refer to our Support team with your case for additional help.
