ASP Section Example¶

Overview¶

The ASP Section Example plugin creates a dedicated web-based panel directly inside Active Symbol Panel in cTrader through the following key functionalities:

• Embeds a WebView to load and display live content from an external website.
• Launches with default panel size, position and visibility to ensure a clear, organised layout before customisation.
• Opens a specified webpage automatically, making the content instantly available as soon as the plugin runs.

Plugin creation¶

Use cases¶

ASP Section Example provides a flexible way to display web-based content alongside your trading symbols. Below are practical use cases that demonstrate how the plugin can enhance the trading experience.

Summary¶

ASP Section Example shows how to integrate a static web page into cTrader using a WebView in Active Symbol Panel. The page appears in a fixed-height, user-visible section that loads automatically, making it ideal for embedding reference content or update feeds without disrupting the trading interface.
