cTrader 5.1 enables embedded charts, faster execution and smoother navigation.
Spotware, the award-winning developer of the cTrader platform, has officially rolled out cTrader 5.1. The latest update introduces a range of powerful enhancements across Mobile, Windows, Mac, and Web reinforcing cTrader’s position as the preferred choice for brokers, prop firms and traders worldwide. This release not only improves the trading experience but also solidifies cTrader’s reputation as the go-to platform for cutting-edge trading technology.
Mobile: A High-Performance Trading Experience
As traders increasingly turn to their mobile devices for on-the-go market access, cTrader continues to refine its mobile platform to meet the highest standards of reliability, speed and ease of use. Designed with a mobile-first approach, the latest update ensures that traders can execute their strategies with confidence, enjoying a smooth and uninterrupted experience wherever they are.
Reliability is at the core of cTrader Mobile and the latest update brings even greater stability to the platform. Whether you're executing trades during volatile market conditions or managing positions over extended sessions, the app delivers a robust performance with fewer interruptions. Stability improvements mean traders can focus entirely on the markets without technical disruptions.
Speed and efficiency are essential in trading, and the latest cTrader update ensures that every tap, swipe, and order execution is more fluid than ever. Performance enhancements provide consistent responsiveness across a wide range of mobile devices, delivering a faster and more intuitive trading experience. With improved efficiency and reduced latency, traders can react swiftly to market movements with confidence.
Improved Trading Experience and Risk Management
The new version of cTrader Web also introduces several powerful features aimed at improving usability and trade management. Brokers can now embed cTrader charts directly onto their websites, providing the smoothest ever experience for traders. The upgraded risk-reward tool includes automatic rounding for easier position sizing, while cTrader Copy now ensures that only live accounts can provide strategies, promoting transparency and investor protection.
Additionally, traders will benefit from persistent toolbar positions, improved keyboard navigation for watchlists, refined submenus, and enhanced mobile gestures for a smoother trading experience. The update also allows users to upload .algo files to Cloud for continuous trading with cBots, ensuring 24/7 automated trading capabilities.
With its enhanced usability, advanced risk management tools, and easy integration of automated trading, cTrader Web 5.1 delivers a smarter, safer, and more efficient trading experience for both brokers and traders alike.
Advanced Tools for Algorithmic Trading
The Windows version of cTrader 5.1 takes algorithmic trading to the next level. Users can now install and compile algorithm files directly through the API, streamlining workflows and boosting efficiency. Meanwhile, enhanced file management tools, including OpenFileDialog, OpenFolderDialog, and SaveFileDialog, make organising trading data a breeze.
New features like DropZone for seamless drag-and-drop interactions and UI elements such as ColorPicker and ProgressBar offer unparalleled customisation. Furthermore, expanded API entities provide deeper data access, empowering traders to make smarter, data-driven decisions.
With these advanced tools and enhancements, cTrader 5.1 for Windows simplifies algorithmic trading and empowers developers and traders to work smarter, faster, and with greater precision than ever before.
Market Replay & Plugins
The Mac version introduces Market Replay, a powerful feature that allows traders to test strategies using historical tick data. Users can select a starting point on the chart, dynamically adjust playback speed, and execute orders to evaluate their outcomes over time - perfect for refining trading techniques without financial risk.
With this update, users can explore plugins, a new type of cTrader algorithm that enables them to customise the cTrader UI and integrate third-party services directly within the platform. With plugins, users can enhance various components, including instrument toolbars, Trade Watch, and charts, ensuring a tailored trading experience.
Additionally, the new Active Symbol Panel (ASP) enhances accessibility by providing key market data and trading controls within the chart area. Positioned conveniently on the right side of the screen, ASP allows traders to manage protections, place different order types, and stay informed about market conditions - all without leaving your workspace.
These updates transform the trading experience, offering unmatched flexibility, precision, and control, all designed to help traders refine strategies and stay ahead of the curve.
Denis Kiselev, Head of Product at Spotware.
