cTrader
Trade your TradingView alerts and Telegram signals on your cTrader accounts. Sign in with your cTrader ID, pick your accounts, and TradeSgnl places the trades. Nothing to install.
Connect your cTrader accounts and your TradingView alerts and Telegram signals trade on them. Sign in with your cTrader ID, pick your accounts, and you're set. There's nothing to install and nothing to keep running on your computer.
One alert, every account
Connect as many demo and live accounts as you like. One alert trades them all.
Your password stays with cTrader
You sign in on cTrader's own page, so TradeSgnl never sees your password.
Trades managed for you
Stop loss, several take profits, trailing stop and breakeven, set and moved for you.
Connect an Account
Select a license. On your dashboard, click Connect Account, pick the license these accounts will trade from, and click Next step.
Sign in with cTrader. Choose cTrader and click Sign in with cTrader.
A cTrader window opens. Sign in with your cTrader ID, tick the accounts TradeSgnl may trade, and click Allow access. Accounts from every broker under that cTrader ID are listed together.
Pick your accounts. Back in the portal, tick the accounts you want to trade and click Connect. Each one appears on your dashboard as its own card within a few seconds.
Send a signal. Point your TradingView alert at TradeSgnl and start the message with your license code, as on any other account. See Signals for the full syntax.
LicenseID,EURUSD,buy,vol_lots=0.1,sl=30,tp=60Channels you copy with the Telegram Copier trade here too.
Start on a demo account
Connect a demo account first, send a few alerts, and check the results on the Signals page before you trade a funded account.
Signals on cTrader
Your alerts work as they are. Market and pending orders, closes, partial closes, stop loss and take profit changes, several take profits, trailing stop and breakeven all use the same signal syntax.
A few things to know:
- Only TradeSgnl's trades are touched. Closes and changes never affect trades you opened yourself in cTrader. To keep two strategies apart on one account, give each its own
comment=. - Your stop loss and final take profit are saved in cTrader. They protect the trade even if TradeSgnl can't be reached. Earlier take profits, the trailing stop and breakeven are run by TradeSgnl and carry on once it's back.
- Sizes round down to the nearest size your broker allows. If that's below the broker's minimum, the order isn't placed.
- Pending orders need a price. Use
entry_price=.
Not Available on cTrader
A signal that uses one of these isn't placed, and the Signals page says why.
- Pending orders set as a distance (
entry_pips=,entry_points=,entry_percent=,pending=) - Pyramiding and the recovery system
- Sizing from equity or from a loss amount (
vol_pcteq=,vol_pctbal_loss=,vol_pcteq_loss=) - Session and news filters, trade limits, drawdown limits and hedge protection
Cloud Connections
cTrader is included in Starter and every higher plan. The Bridge plan connects MT5 accounts. Each connected account uses one of your plan's Cloud Connections while it's switched on. A paused account doesn't use one.
When all your Cloud Connections are in use, the portal offers to add another.
Managing Your Accounts
Each cTrader account has its own card under its license, showing its balance, equity and open profit, with a Demo chip on demo accounts. Expand a card to see its recent signals and its controls.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
Pause | Stops new signals and frees the Cloud Connection. Stop loss and final take profit stay in cTrader. |
Resume | Turns trading back on, if a Cloud Connection is free. |
Settings | Rename the account, move it to another license, or set its Symbol mapping. |
Remove | Disconnects the account and deletes its analytics history. Open trades stay open in cTrader. |
Reconnect | Shown when cTrader stops accepting the account's sign-in. Sign in again to resume trading. |
Symbol Mapping
You don't need your broker's exact symbol names. EURUSD, eurusd and EUR/USD all work, and a plain XAUUSD finds your broker's XAUUSD.pro. Leave out any exchange prefix: EURUSD, not OANDA:EURUSD.
If a name still doesn't match, open Settings on the account's card and switch on Symbol mapping. Map the alert's name to your broker's, or add a prefix or suffix for every symbol. When nothing matches, the Signals page suggests the closest names your broker offers.
Advanced and higher
Symbol mapping is included on the Advanced and Professional plans. If your plan drops below Advanced, it switches off and your mappings are kept for when you upgrade.
Seeing Your Results
An account's latest signals show on its card. View Signals opens the full Signals page, with the account each signal traded, the size filled and whether it worked. If an order couldn't be placed, you'll see an error code and the reason. You're also notified in the app, by push, email or Telegram, depending on your Alerts settings.
In Analytics, each cTrader account appears on its own with its balance, equity and trade history.
