Verdict

cTrader is a forex and CFD platform from Spotware with cBots for automated trading, backtesting and optimisation, cloud execution and a copy-trading service. Like MetaTrader, it is free and offered through brokers, which set the fees and decide who can sign up. Its store also sells third-party bots whose performance claims are the sellers’ own.

PROS+ cBots with backtesting and optimisation+ Cloud execution and copy trading+ Free through brokers
CONS− Availability depends on your broker− No stock trading in cTrader Copy− Third-party bots carry unverified claims
