Why prop traders pick cTrader for FundingPips challenges
- According to FundingPips, cTrader is available across all its programs (1-Step, 2-Step Standard/Pro and Zero) with a one-time add-on of roughly $20 per account, while MT5 and Match-Trader are provided at no extra charge.
- cTrader offers full depth-of-market (Level II) pricing, advanced order types and detailed order/position management that suit traders who scalp or manage risk tightly around the 3-5% daily drawdown limits FundingPips sets by model.
- Devices: cTrader runs as a desktop app (Windows), a browser-based web terminal and iOS/Android mobile apps, so you can monitor an evaluation or funded account from anywhere - useful for Canadian traders on North American session hours.
- Algorithmic trading is supported through cTrader Automate (cBots) and custom indicators; on FundingPips, Expert Advisors and automation are permitted subject to the firm's rules on third-party tools.
- Same leverage applies on the challenge and the funded (Master) account per FundingPips' published terms - for example FX up to 1:100 on 1-Step and 2-Step Standard - though exact caps vary by instrument and model, so confirm current terms.
- Prop trading on evaluation challenges carries real risk: the account fee can be lost if drawdown rules are breached. Trade the platform on a demo first and confirm current terms with FundingPips before you buy.
