cTrader Platform - Charting









The cTrader charts use the same concept as that of the MT4 trading platform, which is the green bars over a black background, with the exception being that on the cTrader platform, the bid/ask price is also displayed.





The cTrader charts offer a selection of different time frames, from 1 minute through the monthly time frame. The charting tools are available on the right side of the platform and it’s easy to draw various trend lines, support & resistance lines, and so on.





The cTrader charts also come with a good collection of indicators such as Stochastics, Bollinger, and so on.





cTrader Platform - Order Execution









In order to execute the trades, traders need to click on any pair on the left side of the trading platform which expands and enables traders to place an order. The orders can be placed with a single or double click and instantly executed as a market order.





However, for every trade, entry/stop loss and other such factors have to be placed as separate orders. The pending orders are displayed individually so it makes it easy for traders to track their orders. Other tabs include positions, orders, and deals thus making for an organized display.





cTrader platform also comes with a 'Favorites' tab where traders can add their preferred currency pairs to trade. The 'Favorites' tab makes it easy to place the order entry.
