Cross-broker app¶

The cross-broker app carries the list of every broker that offers cTrader. After you sign up, the cross-broker app lists featured cTrader brokers for you to open a live or demo account and dive into trading. You can view a full list of brokers by tapping More. The screen reappears on every log-in until you have an account.

Note

If an account you hold does not appear, contact your broker.
