Trades opened on the copy account without being opened on the master account

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
at 9-11-2022 some trades opened on the copy account without being opened on the master account.
clearly a bug on Ctrader platform, the strategy owner himself doesn't know how this can happen, as he didn't opened any trades on the master account!
clearly not stable platform, no one should use it.
also a huge loss occurred on some copy strategies while the master strategy has no loss.
they have no support, so there is no one to talk to in case of any issues, only the form where you can open a topic to discuss with other users just like you.
stay away from this scam platform.

Needs Bug Testing

Order execution eventualities are not properly tested. many glitches were found by various users including myself. such as vanishing stop-loss which apparently they fixed/will fix, but there are still unfixed vulnerabilities that I am aware of.

Improving results from trading.

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
Thanks to cTrader, I improved my trading results. The platform gives so many options for market research and manual trading. I like the way the workspace is structured as I can see every piece of information I need for my decision-making process. It all starts with the section dedicated to fundamental analysis. I can simply filter the economic calendar by the asset I’m focusing on. I can read news and market updates from a fundamental analysis point of view without leaving the platform. Special attention has to be directed to the market depth window as it reflects current market sentiment, showing the volume of orders placed near the current price.
I agree with most of the positive cTrader reviews.
I also like charts in cTrader. They show my history of trades for every asset I open. So I can analyse my mistakes and focus on profitable trades. Charting tools are informative, orders can be dragged and dropped right on the graph, while the one-click trading window shows all of the information about the asset including margin requirements, cost of pip and trading volume.

A friend advised the cTrader trading platform

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I heard that a friend advised the cTrader trading platform that it was a very convenient site and you could figure it out on your own, I decided to take a look at the link, I was not a trader myself, but I really liked the topic of financial markets. I started trading on a demo account, undergoing training on their materials, last week I just replenished a deposit on a real account and started opening several deals, the difference in execution between demo and real accounts is not noticeable at all, if any. The speed is excellent, the design is nice. What else do you need to get started? All good

I have an interesting experience with this trading platform

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I like to trade on this platform and everyday I explore new things here. The first thing that I noticed once I launched the platform is that it’s much more user-friendly than many classical trading solutions, including MTs. It’s much easier to cycle through various financial instruments than in Metatrader because in Metatrader, I first have to make sure that the required asset is already added and then I should choose it in the list and open its chart. If it’s not available in the list, I should add it from a separate menu. In cTrader all assets are already included in the left menu and all I need to do is to make a single click on the required asset.
As for its features, I’m exploring the depth of the market feature. It’s a bit more difficult to use this feature rather than use any indicator, but I hope I will learn how to make the most of it.

I explore this product with great interest

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I didn’t think that I would explore a new trading platform with great interest. I have always worked with Metatrader. That’s a great platform but time doesn’t stand still and new worthy products show up. cTrader is one of them.
It offers more tools to analyze the market. I mean a larger number of indicators and timeframes. The number of pending orders is bigger too.

If you analyze the feedback...

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
What can I add about cTrader? The functionality of the system includes ChartShots and ChartCasts that allow traders to exchange ideas and share experiences. The terminal gives access to more than 50 indicators used for technical analysis. These tools can be combined and optimized if necessary. In addition, traders develop their own scripts on the platform.
If you analyze the feedback from users, you can highlight some shortcomings of the trading platform. For example, the disadvantages include the specificity of using an ECN account.

I can honestly say that cTrader has won me over with its simplicity.
I don't like trading platforms that are too heavy and too complicated - it hinders my work.
And here everything seems to be simple, but at the same time functional.
That's cool!

It’s convenient for scalping

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
This platform is very suitable for scalping because it comes with hotkeys. I wonder whether other platforms come with hotkeys or not, but cTrader is the first platform with which I started to use hotkeys. Frankly speaking, I can’t say that it’s impossible to trade without hotkeys. For example, one can do without them in long-term trading where a mouse cursor would suffice. However, everything is different when it comes to scalping. I scalp actively and trade a wide range of assets. So, there’s a strong need to quickly create market orders. The platform’s hotkey F9 comes in handy here. I click on it open a trade at light speed, then move another asset, use the hotkey to start another trade and thus over and over again, very suitable.

I really like the cTrader trading platform

Service use: Live Length of use: 6-12 Months
I really like the cTrader trading platform. Among the strong points of the cTrader platform I can name large set of tools for trading (more than 80 currency pairs and metals); user-friendly interface with various settings; fast access to popular trading instruments;
advanced risk management.
The trading platform allows analyzing trades based on the data of the pip value and the amount of margin. The terminal also has an Analyze tab that displays information on profits/losses, determines risk for individual markets, and specifies the current trading volume.

The platform has very flexible settings

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
The cTrader trading platform is a fairly new product, thanks to which it is possible to make a convenient work for both beginners and professional traders. The platform has five types of chart display, and you can add any technical indicators with one click. As for the appearance of the platform, each user has the ability to customize the interface in the most suitable way for him. The platform has very flexible settings and a large number of additional features. There are also five types of chart display and six levels of scaling.

I have recently got familiar with this platform. It gave me a positive impression notwithstanding the fact that for a long time I worked with Metatraders and was convinced that there could not be anything better. I can’t say that I have a strong desire to quit MTs in favor of this platform, but I like to explore a completely new layout and features.

The cTrader robot

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
I have always been interested in finance and remote work, investments and more. In the beginning I traded, but unsuccessfully. And then I came across an article on one of my favorite sites about the cTrader multicurrency robot. I read, studied and wrote to the author, he provided detailed instructions for installing the robot. So my life as a trader began again. I have been working with him for almost half a year since the end of 2020. This is something irreplaceable! My passive income with a robot is on average + 15%, I, like all robot owners, think that this is an excellent tool that has been working steadily for more than one year. No bank can compare with such%. In order to install a trading advisor in the cTrader terminal, you need to use an additional program for algo-trading cAlgo. Yes, there are risks, but risks are always and everywhere!

I chose a cTrader account

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I decided to trade on a cTrader account at my broker. I was greatly impressed by cTrader. I’m overwhelmed with an idea to make the most of the depth of the market feature. I need more practice to use it correctly. I do believe that it can enable me to trade without trading indicators at all. It displays the number of selling and buying orders on the market in real time. That’s an unusual thing for me because I rarely work directly with figures but I already see that it works.

Modern terminal.

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I tried many trading platforms but this one combines the key advantages. Executions are instant, orders are fulfilled in a blink of an eye. That means that there’s no dealing desk intervention. Charting tools are great. I can open several detachable charts with the same template, adjusting some details only. The Trading Central service of signals is already built in, no need to install anything. I like the way the signals are shown on charts compared to the traditional view. There’s a target highlighted by a green line. It differs depending on the timeframe. When you click on it, the platform opens positions with automatic settings of stop-loss and take-profit order. I can adjust them as well.
In the manual trading process, calculating the cost of pip and the margin requirement depending on the lot size is time-consuming. But it’s important for risk management. When I choose the lot size here, I get all of the info in a popup window.
It’s also good to get the latest news connected to a certain symbol.

Software for traders

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
The software was designed for traders as the platform widens the range of functions for different approaches. The structure of sections provides all of the needed information for market research without leaving the platform. I like the following features:

* detachable charts with many functions to make accurate trading decisions;
* variable types of postponed orders to operate with price ranges;
* smart protection and adjustable profit-taking;
* double-up and reverse buttons;
* filter the news by an asset.

Performances at an excellent level

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
I would like to praise the cTrader trading platform for its smooth operation. I have been trading for more than three years and have not seen any failures on the side of the platform or attempts to interfere with transactions on the side of the broker. cTrader allows to inspect each execution timing, slippage, etc. which results in full transparency. Performance is at an excellent level.

respect to developers

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
i've been interested in finding bug-free trading software, and to tell the truth it's not been an easy task. ctrader turned out to match my expectations more than any other tading tools provider did. surprisingly even webtrader turned out to work flawlessly which was unexpected - i got used to horrible webtraders which brokers position as their custom developed application. fortunately ctrader is not one of those creepy soutions. overall both webtrader and pc downloadable versions of ctrader match all the expectations of the most demanding taders to my opinion. my respect is caused by the fact that developers managed to provide a great number of features and at the same time the platform remains bug-free and fast.

love at first sight!

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
Visual presentation is imprtant to me, so is userfriendliness of the software. I'm a UX-designer myself and I'm just starting my career but I really understand now what a massive job stands behind what ctrader developers did. I lack words to describe it precisely but trust me, there is a reason why you know intuitevely where to find certain tools or specific features that you need in your daily trading routine. It takes a great volume of effort and skills to master the interface to this level of userfriendliness.

A very promising platform

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
The only thing that I lack here are custom indicators. I hope the developer will add the support for custom indicators soon. In other regards, this platform seems superior compared to MTs. Metatraders have an obsolete layout that makes managing assets a time-consuming thing. Here you can conveniently cycle through assets, opening charts with one click.
The news section is positions to the right and I have an opportunity to view news without losing control of the open chart.

Trading has become more convenient.

Service use: Live Length of use: 6-12 Months
The company that created this trading platform made a good contribution to the development of Forex trading. This is a really big step into the future. Trading has become more convenient. Despite this, the functionality of the trading platform is not simple. This is a really cool set of analysis and trading tools. A large number of indicators. I don't know how many weeks you need to trade a demo account to learn all this. I want to say that this needs to be done because if you know how each indicator works, then you will choose the tool that you need for every day!
In addition, you should pay attention to the depth of the market.
This is the right tool and indicator of the mood of traders and the entire market!

A perfect platform's opportunities.

Some brokers have a perfect platform — cTrader. The platform offers clients has a lot of tools for professional trading.
Moreover, all the functions are at your fingertips. You can easily see the required margin conditions, the volume of position, and each pip's cost.
Everything is right in front of your eyes. It is very convenient and saves a lot of time.

Good find for an algorithmic trading

Service use: Live Length of use: 6-12 Months
I know that the software that starts with M and ands with R is loved by many traders for its advisors, however, I do believe that if you try develop your own trading bot, CTrader and its cbots should be considered seriously as a better alternative. it's not that much about C# that I personally prefer, but also about the attitude of the company. At the official CTrader forum you can ask for help and really GET IT there.
The flawlessness of the software also adds points to the option of moving all the algorithmic trading to this platform. Not even mentioning the copytrading solutions, that can help benefit from attracting some more funds to your successful strategies!

Some folks recommended me a broker and I made up my mind to have a try. I didn’t hesitate a lot and from the very beginning I chose a trading account with cTrader. It’s because that trading platform was new for me. By that time I was already familiar with both Metatraders. 
cTrader surprised me. It’s very intuitive and offers more features than Metatraders. What’s more, it comes with a very appealing design that makes sense for me. By the way, an account with cTrader is scalper-friendly due to the lowest possible spreads.

I joined a brokerage company solely to experiment with cTrader. I’m a kind of trader who is convinced that a trading platform can give an advantage in trading because it’s a main working tool. I even opened a real account not a demo one and allocated $300 to test the platform. I can say that the test was positive and the platform proved its effectiveness. The platform’s layout encourages to actively use hotkeys and I try to make the most of it.

I want to say for the new excellent trading software. I really liked the trading platform cTrader. Using this terminal, I can work with ECN accounts, due to the fact that it has an exceptionally new and powerful package of tools and functions, it will be able to leave satisfied not only a novice trader, but also a real pro. I can highlight two big benefits:
1) I like the high speed of opening and closing orders for deals and the ability to fully control all quotes on the market. This allows me to make better deals using cTrader.
2) The cTrader trading platform opens STP access to the currency market for all traders. ECN cTrader is a more functional platform, because, thanks to the pass-through processing of all orders, it provides the opportunity to successfully trade with all banks in the world without any intermediaries.

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
I chose my broker because I’m greatly interested in cTrader. I read a lot about this platform and my interest in it constantly grew. Once I reviewed their trading conditions, I realized that a cTrader account would be very universal for me due to its very tight spreads. It can be effectively used for either scalping and long-term trading. So, I did it. I opened a cTrader account and it 100% met my expectations. It’s really worth paying a commission for such tight spreads.

excellent for scalping

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
DoM, customizable hotkeys, single-click reversals and doublling position - all suits scalping in this trading platfrom. I wish I knew about it earlier as so much time's been wasted trying to work on own speed and concentrtion instead of using the tools that, as I recently leaned, this software offers by default. OMG, why do we try to reinvent the wheel so often! Spotware cTrader did a great job already. Well done!

A feature-rich trading software.

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
This platform opened my eyes on manual trading. The software has so many features that I had to review my set of skills and habits in forex trading. I like the feature of hotkeys to open and close trades quickly. The section of fundamental analysis delivers all of the information about an asset I’m focused on, and I can filter the economic calendar to see the events in relation to this particular asset. One-click trading is useful for quick reactions to changes in the market. Charting tools are accurate and informative, I can see a clear picture on detachable charts.

I'm pleased with the cTrader platform

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I joined a broker recently. I opened a demo account right away to test the platform.
By the way, I had never worked with cTrader before. So I did not understand how everything works on this platform. But I figured it out very quickly. The platform has a lot of elements, but all are arranged intuitively. For example, you don't have to look for hidden icons, like in MT4. It saves time and nerves.

I’m interested in this platform

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I’m a kind of person who is always ready to explore novelties. This platform is a completely new thing. Well, I can’t say that it’s revolutionary new because in my opinion it offers the same stuff as you can see with other brokerage services. I mean you can also view charts, apply indicators on them, view news, and place various orders. But the way it’s all arranged makes difference. For example, when using Metatrader, I see that reaching out to various assets can be a problem. It’s much easier to do on cTrader. All you need to do is to make a single click on the required asset to the left.
Moreover, it’s very convenient to view news and calendar on cTrader because it’s all accessible in the separate menu to the right. So, you can keep viewing news without losing a visual contact with the chart you are trading on.

It improves my situational awareness

Service use: Live Length of use: 6-12 Months
I like to trade on this platform. Situational awareness or to put that another way, a possibility to control the market situation by simply viewing it from different angles is very crucial for me and this platform is ideally suited for it. To be exact, I make the most of their detachable charts. It’s a very suitable solution to analyze the market using several monitors, where each of the required timeframes is displayed on a separate monitor. The depth of the market feature also helps me to timely spot powerful moves on the market. It shows the number of buying and selling orders on the market in real time. It gives me a concrete hint who may take over the market soon: bulls or bears.

Being little disappointed in my own ability to think wisely enough when in the market, I started exploring the copytrading tool that ctrader offers. I was pretty impressed with how wisely you can filter the strategies that you choose to follow and subscribe to. The platfrom doesn't move up the risky strategies intentionally. You can apply as many various filters as you wish and find some moreate risk strategies that suit you personally.

This is an awesome solution for multi-functional trading. I can use scalping or analyse the fundamental side of the market without leaving the platform. I can trade from charts or use the hotkeys. I can double-up the volume of my open positions or reverse them.
Additional sections for coding trading systems and analysing past performance are informative and useful. I like the way the workspace is organized here.

This is my favorite trading platform

Service use: Live Length of use: 6-12 Months
This is my favorite trading platform, it is the know-how word in financial markets trading. The main feature of the software is the DOM (Depth of Market), thanks to this feature you can see the liquidity on both sides and it helps you to make the right decision to buy or sell. Also, when trading on this platform, broker intermediation is excluded, the broker is not able to make any manipulations. Today more and more brokers are trying to offer this software among their trading platforms. As demand among traders grows, so does supply.
