Brokers and prop firms can now offer their own plugins – pre-installed in cTrader for existing clients or listed in cTrader Store. There's no need to wait for a core-platform release: plugins are built and launched independently, so brokers and prop firms can bring new services to their clients faster without extra effort and give their offering a stronger point of difference.
Build it your way
cTrader is designed to be open – giving brokers and prop firms space to extend the platform with functionality that reflects their real business needs. Pre-installed plugins make that possible by giving specialised tools a dedicated space directly inside cTrader, while the core platform experience stays untouched.
Now there is an opportunity to deliver a wide range of services: AI assistants and trading journals, signals and trade ideas, trading calculators, market analysis, economic calendars and news, analytics dashboards, client support and engagement tools, bespoke dashboards, gamification tools and other services.
Less development effort
Plugins are multi-platform, available across cTrader Mobile, Web, Windows and Mac, so firms do not need to build separate solutions for each platform and can bring their existing web tools into cTrader often with minimal adaptation.
And if the right tool does not exist yet, it can be built with a technology or content provider. There is no need to search far for the right expertise either. cTrader already has a global community of experienced developers and algo creators who know the platform and can help turn an existing service or new idea into a branded product.
Choose how your plugin reaches clients
Automatic delivery – the plugin is pre-installed for every client of the broker or prop firm.
cTrader Store only – the plugin is listed in cTrader Store, but it is not accessible to clients of other brokers or prop firms.
Business value
The plugins give brokers and prop firms the ability to shape their cTrader offering around their own brand.
The first advantage is differentiation. An exclusive tool or service sets the firm apart, gives a significant competitive advantage and makes the offering more distinctive.
The second is customisation around specific trader needs. Plugins can be tailored to a particular trader segment, business model or use case. This is especially relevant for prop firms, where services can support specific challenge rules, trader journeys, analytics, risk requirements and other needs unique to the firm's model.
Additionally, the plugin can be listed in cTrader Store and reach 12M traders there, giving brokers and prop firms another opportunity for lead generation.
Sergey Borisov, Head of Product Development, said: "cTrader is an Open Trading Platform™, built to be flexible – brokers and prop firms decide how their offering looks, not us. In today's world, where AI has made coding far more accessible, plugins are becoming a powerful tool for our clients. Creating a more personalised experience no longer means a complex development project – now, the value can be quickly delivered to market without costly integrations. That’s what the plugins offer: a new way to differentiate, retain and acquire clients on their own terms, with tools built specifically for their business."
