...a script that drags-and-drop onto chart to open a market entry order, which then automatically scales in at fixed intervals...
It's a long shot but you could have a look on the cTrader Development Network Forum and maybe ask on there for it to be done, there's alot of coders on that forum who will make almost any EA or indicator for free which arn't available in the download sections for indicators or robots or which come with the platform.

{quote} Cant find the article I read that had cost comparison info but if I think MT4 is about $50,000 per year (can vary depending on setup but I've seen this number quoted a number of times) and cTrader is doing a different type of licensing deal that is cheaper and structured (payments? percent of orderflow? scaled based on volume?) to be much more affordable. If I find the link to info I'll post it. The writer was making the point that cTrader would be cheaper platform to buy for the typical startup brokerage.
If it is cheaper then we should see more brokers offering CTrader soon.
But I hope it will NOT be STARTUP brokerage.

Dear Traders!

Since there was a comment about the dealing desk functionality, I will take opportunity and answer that one specifically:

  1. Broker/Bank cannot accept/reject/requote orders in any shape or form, unlike in the other platform. It's not possible on many levels (technically and philosophically);
  2. All execution is done 100% STP w/o any manual intervention across all brokers that have cTrader. Moreover, once an Order has been executed, its execution price cannot be changed by a Broker (again, unlike the other platform);
  3. cTrader does not require any bridges whatsoever, since we are fully FIX compliant (Spotware/cTrader is a full FIXProtocol.org member).

I have tried to keep answers as neutral as possible and around the functionality only.

Happy trading to all!

Dear Traders! First of all, many thanks to all the FF team for allowing us to post our comments in the non-commercial threads. However, we promised the FF team that we will not promote our platform, and all our comments will be focused around cTrader/cAlgo suite functionality. Since there was a comment about the dealing desk functionality, I will take opportunity and answer that one specifically: Broker/Bank cannot accept/reject/requote orders in any shape or form, unlike in the other platform.

Hi cTrader,

Want ask a question.
If there is no broker intervention, why there is chart different between 2 ctrader platform?

I try ICMarkets cTraders and FXPro cTrader.

cTrader displays what is coming via FIX from the LP(s). So, at that time there was a price difference because the LPs were streaming different pricing. It is not technically possible to manipulate incoming prices from the LP(s), anyway.

{quote} What should be the accepted/trusted margin stop out level? What percentage did you expect or thought it was? You probably had leverage between 1:100 to 1:500 so for you to be margin stopped out, obviously your trades went against you.
old stuff 2-3 month old:

normally what I expected was:
%40-%60 margin stop out
%100 margin call

that is what I always see... (pepperstone, admiral, armada, axis)

I saw that they stated a lower margin stop out level than %100 in their website, emailed them:
they replied that "it has changed over the weekend"

so screw them,
hope that money comes out the hard way from them....

read the reply that they have sent...

also the Spike that occurred did not occur on FxPro cTrader.

I am going to file a complaint to ASIC..

IC MARKETS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

so ctrader alone doesnt stop the broker from finding ways to screw the customer

yes, but he's saying the broker went ahead and changed the margin level without telling him

Quoting mmaker
{quote} But it also depends on the customer's trading habit, like if you over-leveraged right up to margin call, trading news spike or least liquidity currency like EUR/NZD and hoping not to be closed out by margin stop out level. Not everyone trades like that.

{quote} He was mistaken. The margin stop out level was always at 100% as far back as April and only changed to 80% recently. He thought that it was much lower at 20%-50% like at other brokers and accused them of "raising it" that day to kill his account. I shared my views at the other thread because it's not related to cTrader here. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...17#post6925117
recently?

I didn't got stopped put in april it is 1-2 month story.

all that aside, ctrader looks interesting and promising

and if you can match that with a brokerage that is well managed (not easy to determine)

terrific!
