Switch between trading accounts effortlessly

To log in to the mobile app, you can use the same login credentials that you received during your Purple Trading cTrader demo (or real) account registration. The mobile app can manage multiple cTrader accounts at once.

You can switch in between the account either by:

Clicking on trading account number.
Clicking on “+” symbol and choosing “create a new demo or live account” on the main page.

From here you can continue by swiping left or right where you will find the basic platform functions as well as many subfunctions. We will show you more on other videos.

Seize control over your trades

Probably one of the most important functions - favorite markets - can be found right on the second page. These can be adjusted according to your own preferences. Once you click on any of the markets multiple panels will pop up. The first one is the basic Buy and Sell field where you can choose your desired trading volume. Another is the simple price chart which will surely come in handy during your everyday analyses. The chart can be zoomed in or out, rotated horizontally, enhanced by indicators, and much more.

Easy to use

The cTrader mobile is certainly not just a stripped-down version of the standard desktop trading platform. Spotware developers strived to use smartphones to their maximum potential and the result shows it!

Pocket-Arsenal of features

Once you start exploring the features of cTrader mobile, you will find out that this platform is something totally different. Gone are the days when the only purpose of mobile trading platforms was to view charts.

On cTrader mobile you will find:

Over 50 indicators and 26 timeframes
Market sentiment and market depth
Economic calendar

What is the market depth and why it is important to know about it?

There are several different types of analyses and each of them is built on a slightly different principle. Watching the market depth is somewhere in the middle between the technical and fundamental analysis. It monitors the market from a different, let’s say third, dimension and it’s built on the main market concept which is supply and demand.

Market depth shows us the amount of realized trades on a bid and ask (long and short) positions. It’s absolutely essential for the managers of big investment funds who are trading exclusively according to market depth and waiting or realized trading orders. This way it’s possible to closely watch the big players who have the potential to impact the market price.
