What it means
In a prop firm, cTrader is a common alternative or addition to MetaTrader. Spotware licenses it to brokers and has a dedicated offering for prop firms, which firms access directly or through a technology partner.
Traders know cTrader for its depth-of-market display, its cTrader Copy and algorithmic trading features (cBots, written in C#), and its web terminal. Prop firms care about its account management APIs for creating, monitoring and closing accounts automatically.
Terms, pricing and which jurisdictions Spotware serves change over time; check them with Spotware or your provider rather than relying on secondhand summaries.
