Tradingview for charting, metaTrader for execution simple

[@j.rjunior5584]

Facts,

[@ecrirey]

I was thinking the same until I got to know more and more features of cTrader, for instance I love that I do not have a limit of candles, I can go back to 50k candles in the 2 minutes timeframe if I want, thing that tradingview does not allow me to do with the Pro version. So are details that are quite important when backtesting. I also find all the indicators I need on cTrader, just because I use simple ones, nothing sofisticated, so Im quite happy with that. I also like that I can have 15 charts open at the same time, with different instruments, or the same one in different timeframes, with Pro version on Tradingview I can only have 2. I can also open multiple instances of cTrader, with Tradingview if I open the iPad app and the browser version I see a message for upgrading to the next verison, which is quite expensive. So, in summury, cTrader is way better in my opinion, as I said, according to what I need :)

The option of dragging stop-loss and take-profit orders on the chart in cTrader is a great tool that simplifies trading as I don’t need to calculate the levels, everything is shown on graphs.

[@ashrafmazlan123]

You can also drag take profit and stop losses on mt4

The most explicative video that I have found! Thank you very much, it was realy helpful. Regards from Agentina

[@elliottgraham2959]

The cTrader trading platform reminds me of a hero who came to save everyone. Seriously. For many trading software, Metatrader was too heavy, and web traders did not have the necessary functionality. cTrader has a clear interface and everyone can understand how to use it all. Despite this, cTrader has great functionality and a large number of analysis indicators. I like how you can work with orders and place pending orders here. This is a big step into the future!

I like cTrader too, but I use MT4, because you have much, much more indicators!

[@EruvwuObuaya]

I've used MT4 for years and only recently started using MT5. However, CTrader's features by far surpass them both, if only for the fact it helps me properly calculate my risks and improve risk to reward at a glance without having to go find a web calculator someplace else. Until now, I was reluctant to start the FTMO challenge, however, I'm quite confident now. So, I'm going to register today and go for the Ctrader option. Thank you for sharing.

[@marvinmariani9131]

Every platform has its advantages and some striking features. But cTrader can definitely be a great competitor to MT4. That's a fact.

[@ajay9642]

Most Awaited update...yeah..! Ctrader finally....

[@fletcherdadcalder2958]

I think cTrader is way better for execution because of you can calculate the order in new order window and directly control your risk management without another position calculator. Also the user interface is clearer and i like the way the different windows can be arranged. I recommend it

[@keanosprong3942]

For several years I've been seeing the mentions of cTrader on trading forums and generally people seemed to be impressed with the platform and especially praised the DoM feature. I recall reading that DoM can also be used to open and close the trades. Yet, I don't see such an opportunity in my cTrader. Is it a demo restriction or there is something else I'm missing? Why can't I trade via DoM?

[@LarsTradeTravel]

Hi FTMO very exiting with cTrader, is it the same datafeed, spreads and commission as on mt4? Thanks

[@Peakprospr420]

Can someone explain what volume means when you place an order on ctrader. I'm used to mt4

[@norbertrabi2516]

You missed out that you can close and open from your existing position so you can partially closed them with no extra commission. So if you made a mistake and you opened double of the position, you can cut it in half. With mt4 you have to close down the whole position and open another half of the size of the previous one. So you would pay 1 and a half more commission than with ctrader.

[@jeanmanofficial]

On mt4 I believe you can partially close part of your order Let's say you have 1 lot order pending, you can close 0.5 lot of it let the rest turn Cheers!

[@1BassJohn]

Thanks for this video. I'm actually still stunned that the trading world is so heavily reliant on MT4 - I guess it's the old, 'if it ain't broke' kind of situation. I find it both sort of useful, and hilarious.. and not in a good way. The fact that you can't place a TP or Stop Loss with your fingers on the mobile app chart to me is beyond insane. I don't know how an app stayed like this for so long. I hope to see much more modern and advanced trading software replace this in the years to come. Ps. As of recently, kind of scary to see that apparently Metatrader got pulled off the iphone store? Could anyone confirm this?

We come to forex to make a profit. Nobody can argue with that, right? Yes, knowledge is certainly important, passion, interest, the opportunity to learn something new. But profit is paramount. Therefore, I have such a question, if we consider trading from the point of view of profitability, on which trading platform is more profit obtained, on Metatrader or cTrader? The question might seem silly, but I guess everything is not that obvious if you dig deeper.

[@billymampe1855]

No one seems to be able to answer my question= why is it impossible to place a position especially a buy position close to a market price on a live mt4/5 but possible to do that on a demo. When I place a buy position on a live account my position goes very and very far away from market price but when I place a sell position it comes close to a market price [ask price line]. When you place a buy position on a demo it comes closer to market price[bid price line] and you would not have to place a take profit very far, you do it where you want.

[@FTMOcom]

Hello Billy Mampe, please note that our Free Trials, FTMO Challenges or also FTMO Accounts are all using the same data feed and the same execution model as well.
