How to connect cTrader to TradeTrack

TradeTrack connects to cTrader through a secure OAuth login. You never enter your cTrader password in TradeTrack — you sign in through cTrader’s own authorization window. Access is read-only: trades sync for journaling, and TradeTrack cannot place or change orders.

cTrader accounts can generate a lot of executions, and adding them by hand is slow and error-prone. Once connected, your trades appear in TradeTrack automatically, so you can add sessions, setups, mistakes, and notes for review.

• A TradeTrack account
• A trading account in the app set to cTrader
• Your cTrader ID or broker login

You don’t need to keep the cTrader desktop app open — sync runs through the authorized connection. Trades refresh automatically (about once an hour), and you can also run a manual sync from the account page.

1. Create your TradeTrack account — sign up and verify your email if prompted.
2. Add a trading account — give it a clear name (broker, challenge phase, demo or live).
3. Select cTrader as the platform for this account.
4. Choose integration (OAuth), not a one-time file upload.
5. Authorize cTrader — sign in and approve access in the cTrader window.
6. Select your cTrader account (demo or live) to link.
7. Wait for sync — the first import may take longer with a large history. Check the last sync time, or run a manual sync.
8. Review your journal — confirm positions and PnL match cTrader, then add sessions, setup tags, mistakes, and notes (these aren’t imported automatically).

If you prefer not to use OAuth: in cTrader go to History → pick a date range → Export → save as CSV or HTML. Then upload the file in TradeTrack, check the preview, and confirm. Duplicates are skipped.

Sync brings in executions and PnL. You add the rest yourself: session and market context, setup and playbook tags, screenshots and mistake tags, and the comments used in statistics.
