User Reviews

Common Issues and Solutions

Platform Freezes During High Volatility
Issue: Some users report occasional freezes during major market events.
Solution: Ensure your internet connection is stable. Close unnecessary applications to free up system
resources. If issues persist, consider using the web-based version of cTrader as a backup.

Difficulty with cBot Development
Issue: New users sometimes struggle with creating and implementing cBots.
Solution: Utilize LiteFinance's educational resources on cBot development. Join cTrader community forums for additional support. Consider starting with simple strategies and gradually increasing complexity.

Order Execution Delays
Issue: Occasional reports of delayed order execution.
Solution: Check your internet connection speed and stability. Use limit orders instead of market orders during high volatility. If problems continue, contact LiteFinance support to check for any known server issues.

FAQ

Can I use my existing LiteFinance account with cTrader?

Yes, you can use your LiteFinance account credentials to log in to cTrader. If you have an MT4 account, contact customer support to ensure it's compatible with cTrader.

How does cTrader's performance compare to MT4 for high-frequency trading?

cTrader generally offers faster execution speeds and lower latency compared to MT4, making it more suitable for high-frequency trading. However, actual performance may vary based on your trading strategy and market conditions.

Is it possible to transfer my MT4 indicators and EAs to cTrader?

While direct transfer is not possible due to different programming languages (MQL4 vs C#), many popular indicators are available in cTrader. For EAs, you would need to recreate your strategies as cBots using C#.
