What do plugins do?

Plugins extend the cTrader platform by adding tools, services and interface elements.

The creator of a plugin determines its possible placement areas, and you cannot define brand new placements. However, you can control the visibility of certain plugins in specific UI areas.

Why can’t I see my installed plugin in cTrader?

You might not see an installed plugin in your cTrader app because the plugin is:

• disabled in that particular cTrader app
• not configured to show in the UI area you are checking
• not supported in that particular cTrader app

How can I start using a plugin?

After installation, check the supported UI areas to start using the plugin.

Which cTrader apps support plugins?

Multi-platform plugins from cTrader Store work across all cTrader apps, while desktop plugins function only in cTrader Windows and Mac.

How do plugins use data?

Can plugins trade?

Are my plugins synced across my cTrader apps?

With enabled cloud synchronisation, plugins supported in all cTrader apps are automatically synchronised across Mobile, Web, Windows and Mac using your cTrader ID, while plugins limited to cTrader Windows and Mac are synced across those apps only.
