CFDs and leveraged forex are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Most retail accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford the high risk of losing your money.

cTrader

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.
