What is cTrader ID?

A cTrader ID is a single login you can use across all cTrader platforms to access your linked trading accounts and platform features in one place.

It’s like a universal username and password. Once you have a cTrader ID, you can:

  • Log in to any cTrader platform (desktop, web, and mobile)

  • Use cTrader’s extra features, like cloud workspaces and watchlists

You only need to sign up for a cTrader ID once, and then you use it everywhere in cTrader.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not confuse the cTrader platform with the cTrader ID. For a detailed illustration of the difference between the cTrader platform and cTrader ID, refer to this Help Center article: cTrader: How to Login.
