Powerful Features For Serious Traders
cTrader is a trading platform and charting solution from technology provider, Spotware. It is designed for multi-asset trading and offers sophisticated tools for active investors.
cTrader’s key selling point is its charting capabilities. With 50+ timeframes, 30+ analytical objects, 70+ integrated indicators and more solutions available through cTrader Automate and the cTrader Store, it is great for technical analysis.
Compared to traditional platforms like MetaTrader 4, cTrader also provides superior market depth. While MT4 has one market depth feature, cTrader offers three: Standard, price and VWAP. This provides a clearer view of market liquidity at different price points, supporting entry timings.
cTrader also has a slick design with a clean and intuitive layout. Users can access all key trading tools from the primary workspace, including MarketWatch, TradeWatch and the Instruments Toolbar.
How To Use cTrader
New users can get started with cTrader in a few steps:
- Open an FP Markets trading account (Standard or Raw).
- A cTrader (cTID) will be given for each trading account. This will provide access to cTrader at all supporting brokers.
- Sign in to the platform to start trading. I recommend beginners try the platform in demo mode first.
