| Post subject: | cTrader |
Many platforms out there, too many for one person to really look into in any great depth. There has been discussion on the cTrader platform and JForex. Since we do not yet have a list of needs and wants for a new platform, I decided to take a closer look at this specific platform and give you all a brief as well as links to additional info to save you the pain of searching. So I download a demo and gave it a whirl. I was mostly interested in manual chart trading and checking out the programming language to get an idea of the learning curve. Here's my scatterbrain thoughts on this platform. First of all, there are 2 separate programs to download, cTrader and cAlgo, what the hell? Not sure why they did this but let's continue. cTrader is for manaul trading. You can place order in many ways but I really like the chart trading. You can also drag your entriy, stop, and target lines on the chart. This does not run robots. It has a DOM. cAlgo is for robots. You program using C#, so if moving to this platform we have to grow up and use a real language. Thre is no DOM but you can trade from the chart. On second thought, perhaps cTrader is for those who don't use robots, the screen is much simpler for a manual trader. Here is the dowload page If you want to take a quick look, I recommend downloading cAlgo. The forum - gives you a quick look at platform issues and what users are asking for, along with some features the web site might not list (such as setting your OWN time zone for charts). A quick description with screen shots - this will give you a global vew of cTrader and cAlgo. (March 2013) Another review, less help than the one above Here is a comparison of coding between C# / Empty4 / MT5 (April 2013) When I click the sample robot file it opens in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 that is on my laptop for some reason. I can't image converting code from Empty4 to C#. There was an email posted in another thread for having your MQL converted to C#. I tried it and it bounced back. What does C# look like? Here is the code for the RSI Sample Robot that comes with the demo. Code: Select all I Googled cTrader forex broker and was surprised at the list. Here are most of them. Brokers http://www.commexfx.com/ctrader.php http://www.lqdmarkets.com/Trading-Platforms/cTrader http://www.roboforex.com/trade-conditions/ctrader/ http://www.fxpro.co.uk/trading/platforms/ecn/desktop http://techcapfx.com/ http://www.divisafx.com/divisa-ctrader.html http://www.tradersway.com/ http://fibogroup.com/traders/platform.html http://www.icmarkets.com/trading-platform/ctrader/ http://www.mffx.com/ecn-forex-trading-platforms/ http://www.fxvv.com/ http://www.fideliscm.com/cTrader.aspx Web Page list of brokers for cTrader It's time to get familiar with the choices. Let's use this new sub-forum to round up the platforms. If you have coded in C#, or even made an indi in cTrader we would like to hear from you! Edit: A helpful post |

Hey AnotherBrian, I found this tutorial the other night http://rbwhitaker.wikidot.com/c-sharp-tutorials It starts off nice and simple, and aims to get you to the point where you can write games. It's pretty slow going for me, but I've only just gotten to the point where I can copy/paste/edit the simplest bits of code in mql4 without breaking anything (and that's after 18 months of playing with the thing) Have fun! Radar =8^) |
