{quote} Have you tried asking your broker support staff? I wonder if the Live Chat operators of these brokers can answer cTrader technical questions like yours. That would save a lot of time than waiting for forum friends to help out.
Yeah that's the thing to do, I was just asking on the off chance really.

The logos of brokers currently offering cTrader can be seen at their website, http://www.spotware.com/ {image} (Trader's Way is not listed, probably because it was registered in the tiny Caribbean island of Dominica).
At cTrader's website there are 12 brokers listed now. The next person is going to ask, "..... any other brokers not mentioned?" There is probably a good reason why cTrader don't mention those brokers. But why would anyone send their hard-earned money to an unknown broker domiciled in some obscure island countries and not properly regulated? If you can't trust any of the 12 brokers listed on Spotware.com (website of cTrader) then you shouldn't be trading through cTrader. I'm sure the list will grow with time.

Best retail platform: Spotware Systems' cTrader
Quoted from this article:
Adding new clients[brokers] to cTrader has been less about aggressive marketing than gentle persuasion; clients have been advised not to drop competing platforms but to install cTrader alongside them and see what they prefer. "Our experience with most clients is that people end up choosing our system, even when others are available," says Holeu.

It looks like cTrader is cheaper than MT4 for traders, isn't it? I've found that comissions are usually lower for this platform in many brokers.. can anyone confirm this?
  • #72
  • Sep 1, 2013 12:01am Sep 1, 2013 12:01am
There are no reasons cTrader should be cheaper for traders. And it can be a bit more expensive as for brokers Trader almost always involves business with LP. And they should be paid! As I know (don't ask me from where), for example FxPro is trying to maintain approximate same conditions (in cost terms) on MT4 and cTrader accounts. So, FxPro earns less on cTrader accounts.

For sure, no. Price feed depends on number and names of LP's broker is working with. Another thing, cTrader can work in B-book configuration, so broker working with such configuration has an ability to make some discount.

Not only selected but also available for them, I guess. I mean regulation, licenses, money (for accounts at LP's or prime), etc.

FXPro is charging a [highlight=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]humongous amount of money to trade with cTrader according to their own website ... a roundturn commission of 130 us$ per million :'([/highlight]

I'm still not sold on it yet. Yes from a visual it looks better than MT4, but yet to see any of the issues due to lack of volume. Most broker will have one server with a handful of clients using it so I'm sure executions look good. But once there is significant trades volumes, that when the big issues occur. Early days still.

cTrader is Platform as a Service (PaaS) which differentiate it from MT4, where brokers have to add new servers to handle increasing loads. There are info about the architecture at their website, there are Youtube videos and overview PDF and summarized notes about this platform shared on this thread. I know people don't read them but the answers are already there.
