Hi is it possible to have multiple installation on PC like with MT4s? When I try to install another copy it says there is already copy of c trader installed and there is ho option to change target folder location for new installation.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't,you're right. H.F.
yes,it is possible. you just have to give them a different name greetings

just wondering how? it's not installed in program files like MT4. instead of somewhere in :\Users\AppData\Local\Spotware\cTrader\4d898457c8d27dbd95fed225896e947e\cTrader.exe /startup-profile="70000000000000000
There is no option on install locations.
When I run another install it says that cTrader is already installed.

Ctrader Logs to the app with a unique CTID that will access all your accounts. If the accounts you are trying to operate are on the same broker you can open Ctrader 2 times from the desktop icon and change the account on the second instance. If the account is on a different broker, it will already have a different directory.

OK I trade several accounts from, under different names. Some of them are in same broker.Some of the names have more accounts.
With MT4 I have. I have about 30 MT4 installations in my Program Files. I can run,let's say 10 of them at once,each with different login spread over my monitors.
Can I do some thing with cTrader?

cTrader doesn't support what you want. To support the auto update feature cTrader uses a technology that does not support multiple installations because as mentioned above the app has a unique id, this id is the same regardless of where you got cTrader. Even if you get cTrader from different brokers they will all have the same app id, so a second install will see the app as already installed, hence the message you see. SpotWare would have to change the underlying technology they use for deploying cTrader to support what you want.
On option that would support what you want is to to use some form of Virtualisation technology. If you are running Windows Home you would have to upgrade to Pro or Workstation then you could potentially use the built in Virtual Machine framework. You might be able to use Docker to run multiple versions or you could use a cloud service to host multiple virtual machines.
Another alternative would be to use a different computer for each broker. cTrader does support multiple instances running from the same installation, but as I undersand it that only works for accounts with the same broker.
Another would be to use your local cTrader installation to do your analysis then use the Web Interface provided by brokers to do your trading.
The MT platform is based on quite old technology that supports creating a separate installer for each broker, each installer has a different id which is why you can install versions from different brokers side by side. The maintainance overhead for that is quite high, which is possibly why SpotWare went a different route with cTrader.
