The cTrader Windows 5.0 update also allows users to export algos as securely encrypted files that can only be opened by a designated user.

Advanced IB tools boost referral conversions and engagement

cTra​der’s sui​te for in​tro​du​cing bro​kers (IBs) has con​si​sten​tly di​stin​gui​shed itse​lf in the mar​ket.
