What can an AI agent actually do with a real trading platform?

Most MCP demos end when the tool call works. We want to see what happens when an agent gets a real trading task.

cTrader MCP can connect AI agents to account and market data, charts and indicators, orders and positions. We’re opening our YouTube channel to creators who want to push it beyond the demo: build a workflow, test it properly and turn the result into a video.

Tutorial, technical deep dive, practical workflow or an experiment that fails in an interesting way — the format is yours. Selected videos will be published as collaborations with cTrader and introduced to our 200K+ YouTube subscribers.

Submissions close September 30.

What would you ask AI to analyse first about your trading?

There's something different about having AI analyse your trading while you sit back and read the report. 😌

With cTrader AI Agent Connect, your AI agent can access account and market data to help you analyse what's happening in your trading.

Getting started with the cTrader affiliate program in one clean walkthrough

The program runs through Impact, a separate platform that handles tracking, reporting and payments. You sign up there and apply specifically for the cTrader program.

Once approved, you only need three sections of the dashboard: Assets, Reports and the link builder. Paste any Store page (a bot, an indicator, a plugin, a seller profile) and it generates a tracked link automatically.

Test that link in a private window before posting it anywhere. It takes seconds and catches most mistakes early.

Where you post it matters more than people expect. It works best inside something already useful, a review, a tutorial, an answer to a real question, rather than as a standalone link drop.

Common mistakes: sharing the plain Store URL instead of the tracked one, linking to the homepage instead of the specific product page, and spreading promotion across too many products instead of one or two.

Full step by step guide here: https://blog.ctrader.com/the-painfully-detailed-guide-to-getting-started-with-the-ctrader-affiliate-program/

Has anyone here actually run affiliate links for Store products, and what converted best for you?

Prop firm traders: do you actually know which rule will end your challenge first?

Most funded traders monitor their daily loss and max drawdown as separate numbers. The problem is that prop firms do not care which one you were watching. They care which one you hit. When both limits are shrinking at once, the one with less room left is the one that ends your account, and it can be a different rule every single day depending on how your session went.

A seller just dropped a video walkthrough of their plugin for cTrader that tackles exactly this. It shows a live cockpit that docks inside the platform and surfaces a single figure called Safe Loss Left, which is whichever of your daily loss room or max drawdown room is smaller at that moment, named, colour-coded and tied to the exact equity level where you are out. The video also walks through the On-Track-to-Get-Paid scorecard, the consistency governor that tells you the maximum profit you can still book today before breaching the firm's consistency cap, and the independent reconciliation layer that re-derives the broker's numbers and proves they match to the cent. Worth a watch if you are mid-challenge right now. What is the one prop firm rule that has surprised you the most when you actually read the fine print?

Backtesting a buy-and-hold strategy against active trading is harder than it sounds

The comparison looks simple on paper: take your trade history, calculate what a held position would have returned, and see which number is bigger. The real complication is that backtesting an active strategy against a passive one requires controlling for compounding, drawdown exposure, margin usage and reinvestment assumptions, and getting any of those wrong skews the result in ways that aren't obvious until you dig into the methodology.

Has anyone built a cBot specifically to run that kind of comparative backtest, where the same capital is modelled under both an active ruleset and a passive hold, using the same historical data?
