MetaTrader vs cTrader
cTrader developed by Spotware came onto the trading scene only in 2011. Within 5 years this ‘MetaTrader killer’ has taken a significant chunk out of the retail trading market to the extent that several brokers now offer both cTrader and MetaTrader to clients.
Understandably, cTrader has tried to improve upon MetaTrader’s faults given its late release date by comparison. The platform looks and feels sleeker, and is noticeably more modern in terms of both aesthetic looks and functionality. cTrader also sports more order types and a sleeker and more intuitive platform navigation.
The interface is clean and there is not a great deal of noticeable difference between cTrader and other retail platforms including MetaTrader. This is especially the case for beginners. The same features such as charts, trade logging, account management tools, back testing and technical indicators are all available.

c Trader Indicators

cTrader has a full set of technical analysis indicators and studies. You can also use custom indicators in cTrader, which you can download from cTDN.com.

You can download custom indicators by going to cTDN.com/algos/indicators.
cTDN is a dedicated community for cTrader users to share and collaborate on trading robots and indicators.
To add a downloaded indicator to your cTrader platform

  1. Download or move the indicator to My Documents > cAlgo > Sources > Indicators.
  2. Open the cAlgo platform. If you don't already have it, you can download cAlgo from your broker's website (or download here if you're just using the demo fromSpotware.com).
  3. Click on the Indicators tab from the Robots/Indicators menu on the left.
  4. Find the Indicator you want to use.
  5. Click the Build icon http://ctdn.com/bundles/ctraderctdn/...icon_cuted.png. If the build is successful, the icon appearance will change to http://ctdn.com/bundles/ctraderctdn/img/build_icon.png.

The Indicator will now be available in your cTrader platform under the Custom category.
