Spotware, the developer of the multi-asset trading platform cTrader, has released version 5.4 of its platform. The update introduces native Python support for algorithmic trading, WebView plugins for mobile integration, and an advanced risk-reward tool. The release also includes expanded APIs and enhanced charting features.

cBots, Indicators Now Built with Python

With Python support, traders and developers can now create cBots, indicators, and plugins using one of the world’s most widely used programming languages. This complements existing C# support and provides greater accessibility for algorithm design.

Linux users can access cTrader through an officially supported Docker image, allowing full console functionality, including running cBots and performing backtests.

“With native Python support within cTrader, we are opening the platform to an even wider community of algo developers, giving them the freedom to work in the language that suits them best,” Ilia Iarovitcyn, CEO of Spotware, commented.

Plugins Gain Custom Settings, Dashboard Integration

The update brings expanded API capabilities. Developers can now include user-configurable settings in plugins, embed custom pages and dashboards in the main interface, and display indicator outputs as bars or candles.

Risk-Reward Tool Added for Mac

For Mac users, the update introduces a risk-reward tool. Traders can calculate deal volumes based on risk tolerance or target reward. Stop-loss and take-profit levels can be aligned automatically. Mac APIs have also been expanded, including interfaces for risk-reward visualization, price alerts, inter-algo messaging, transaction tracking, and content tabbing.
