cBots¶

In cTrader, cBots offer automated trading strategies using algorithmic logic. They remove the need for manual trade execution while allowing full control over parameters and behaviour.

This section includes official sample cBots that demonstrate a range of strategies, from breakout detection to momentum reversal. These examples show how cBots automatically respond to technical signals, manage risk and adapt to market conditions. Each sample includes clear parameters, embedded logic and real-time trading decisions written for cTrader Algo.

While the available cBot templates continue to grow, this section highlights the following widely used cBots and their typical applications.

• Breakout cBot detects key support or resistance breakouts and places orders to capitalise on sharp directional movements.

• Martingale cBot increases position size after each loss to recover previous losses when a trade eventually wins.

• Grid cBot places a series of buy and sell orders at fixed intervals to exploit market volatility within a range.

• RSI cBot automates buy and sell decisions based on Relative Strength Index thresholds to catch overbought or oversold conditions.

• Trend cBot opens trades in the direction of a detected market trend using price action or indicators to follow momentum.
