Silent tutorial — everything is written on screen.

Install the cBot

  • Download the .algo file from the Download the robot page.
  • Double-click it. cTrader installs it and adds it to your cBots — nothing to compile.
  • Open cTrader Automate and start it on the account used for the demo test.

Expected settings

Enter only these technical fields:

text 
AccountCode=YOUR_ACCOUNT_CODE
AccessKey=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
The cBot Parameters panel
The cBot Parameters panel

Keep cTrader open and check that Automate permissions allow the cBot to communicate with TheConnector. The endpoint is built into the package.

Before a real alert

Confirm that the bridge is connected, the account is live or demo as expected, and the cTrader broker symbol matches the route. TheConnector routes instructions; the broker remains responsible for order acceptance.
