cTrader, developed by Spotware, is popular with traders who want raw-spread, commission-based pricing. It shows market depth, offers detailed order tickets and trade statistics, and supports automated trading through cBots written in C#.
Who it suits
Scalpers and discretionary traders who care about order handling, and developers who prefer C# to MQL. Fewer brokers offer it than MetaTrader, and the library of third-party tools is smaller.
What to check with a broker
Check the commission per lot on cTrader accounts, and whether copy trading through cTrader Copy is enabled for your entity.
