cTrader is a popular forex and CFD trading platform used by many brokers. Connections use your cTrader ID.

cTrader ID. cTrader uses a unified login system: enter your cTrader ID email as the username and your cTrader ID password. This is not your broker login — it’s your cTrader platform credential. If you don’t have a cTrader ID yet, create one at ctrader.com.

Broker accounts. After connecting with your cTrader ID, you’ll see all broker accounts linked to that ID. Each broker account appears as a separate trading account within the connection — you can link multiple brokers to one cTrader ID.

Tips:

  • Use your cTrader ID, not broker credentials.
  • Ensure your broker supports the cTrader Open API.
  • Demo and live accounts are shown together — check the account type before trading.
