FxPro cTrader
FxPro cTrader is one of the premier trading platforms offered by FxPro, designed for traders who prioritize fast execution, transparent pricing, and advanced order management.
It is often chosen by active traders, scalpers, and those using algorithmic strategies who value a modern interface and ECN-like market access.
FxPro cTrader: The Platform for Modern, Transparent Trading
FxPro cTrader is an advanced, multi-asset trading platform designed for active traders who demand speed, clarity, and control over their execution. It stands out among FxPro’s offerings by providing a raw, ECN-style trading environment that appeals particularly to scalpers and algorithmic traders.
Execution and Pricing Transparency
The platform is renowned for its transparency, primarily through its No-Dealing Desk (NDD) execution model. This means trades are processed instantly without broker intervention, ensuring minimal slippage and fast order filling, often under 12 milliseconds thanks to FxPro’s servers being hosted in the advanced LD4 Equinix data centre.
With a cTrader account, clients access competitive trading conditions, featuring ultra-low spreads starting from 0.0 pips on major currency pairs. The cost is structured with a clear, competitive commission of approximately $35 per $1 million traded (round turn) on FX and Metals, ensuring full visibility into trading costs. Crucially, cTrader offers the Full Depth of Market (DoM), providing real-time Level 2 pricing and market liquidity information directly from the liquidity providers.
Advanced Features and User Experience
cTrader boasts a modern, highly intuitive interface that is superior to many legacy platforms. It is packed with features that enhance technical analysis and order management:
Charting Tools: Traders benefit from a wider selection of analytical objects, over 70 built-in indicators, and a greater choice of timeframes, including detailed tick charts, to fine-tune their analysis.
Order Management: The platform provides enhanced order controls, including one-click trading from the chart and unique advanced order protection features, such as the Smart Stop Out logic. This system partially closes positions to preserve the remaining margin during volatile market conditions.
Zero Restrictions: Unlike some platforms, cTrader offers a high degree of freedom, with no restrictions on stop/limit levels, making it ideal for high-frequency strategies.
Algorithmic and Copy Trading
For traders interested in automation, the platform includes cTrader Automate (formerly cAlgo). This allows users to develop, test, and run custom trading robots, known as cBots, using the universal C# programming language. FxPro further supports this by offering Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting, enabling cBots to run 24/5 with minimal latency. Furthermore, cTrader’s native Copy Trading functionality allows users to easily follow and copy the strategies of successful traders.
FxPro cTrader is accessible across all major devices, including dedicated desktop software for Windows, a powerful WebTrader for browser-based access, and highly-rated mobile applications for iOS and Android, all unified under a single cTID login.
