    Add custom panels, frames, analytics blocks or calculators directly into cTrader’s UI to provide traders with instant access to tailored tools and data.

    Plugins can execute trades only with explicit user approval, ensuring transparency and control over trading operations.

- ### Flexible display options

    Custom elements can be docked within the platform or detached into standalone, resizable windows for maximum workspace flexibility.
