01About the broker
cTrader at a glance
cTrader is a multi-asset trading platform developed by Spotware Systems, a company established in 2010 in Limassol, Cyprus. Spotware does not deal with retail investors itself; it licenses cTrader to FX and CFD brokers and prop firms, and traders use it through an account with one of those brokers. Depending on the broker, cTrader can trade currency pairs and CFDs on stocks, indices, commodities, ETFs and cryptocurrencies.

- Regulation
cTrader is a trading platform, not a broker. Spotware Systems Ltd (Cyprus, incorporation no. HE301668) develops it and licenses it to many FX and CFD brokers, and ctrader.com is run by cTrader Ltd. Neither holds your money: your account, the instruments on offer and the regulator that protects you all come from the broker you open an account with, and cTrader says it does not verify the regulatory status of the brokers it lists.

06FAQ
cTrader and Algomatex, answered
Answers about cTrader come from its own pages and regulators' records, checked 26 Oct 2026.
Is cTrader a broker?
No. cTrader is a trading platform developed by Spotware Systems Ltd. You open your account with a broker that offers cTrader, and that broker holds your funds and is the regulated party.
Is cTrader regulated?
Regulation applies to the broker, not the platform. Check your broker's licence directly with its regulator: cTrader states that it does not verify or endorse the regulatory status of the brokers it lists.
Can U.S. residents use cTrader?
cTrader Ltd states that its services are not available to citizens or residents of the USA.
Does Algomatex hold my money?
No. Orders go to your own cTrader account and your funds stay at cTrader. Algomatex never receives, holds or moves them.
Which cTrader markets can I automate?
The ones marked supported in the table above. Anything cTrader offers that the table marks as not available isn't automated yet.
Can I stop automation on cTrader at once?
Yes. Pause cTrader alone from its broker page, or use the kill switch to halt every account. A paused account places no new orders until you resume it.
