If you think that trading platforms are cumbersome programs developed way back when user experience was an afterthought as opposed to the entire basis of a business model, then you have probably never tried trading on cTrader.

When developing the cTrader platform, the guys at Spotware decided to look at the whole process from a different perspective. They came up with a trading platform that is developed “by traders for traders” and base every decision on their trademarked “Traders First” vision. This means that navigating in the platform is intuitive and easy to understand, access to markets is swift and the range of tools and charts is wide. You can run cTrader on both PC and mobile devices as well as in all popular browsers.
