Description
DemoTradePro : Live market data. Zero wallet risk.
Practise on your real prices, not on a broker demo.
A broker demo account shows you a balance. Demo Trade Pro shows you how to trade better. It turns cTrader into a complete paper-trading desk on the live prices of the account you are logged in to, and then scores every trade, keeps your journal and tells you what to fix next. Every order is simulated by the plugin and nothing ever reaches your broker.
Why not just open a broker demo account?
- Your real prices, not a demo server's. A broker demo runs on the broker's demo server, and its prices, spreads and costs can differ from the live account. Demo Trade Pro trades on the feed of the account you are logged in to. Log in to your real account and you practise on the same bid, ask, commission and swap as your real trades.
- No second login, no wrong-account clicks. Stay logged in to your real account, with your charts and workspace, and practise right next to it. A Demo Trade Pro order can never reach your broker, so there is no "was that the live account?" moment.
- It doesn't expire. Broker demo accounts can expire or be removed after a while. Your Demo Trade Pro accounts, trades and journal stay on your computer for as long as you want them.
- Real prop-firm rules. A broker demo has no daily loss limit and no profit target. Demo Trade Pro runs prop challenges (10k to 200k, 5% or 10% target, 5% daily and 10% maximum loss) checked on equity on every tick. Break a limit and the challenge fails, just like the real one. Rehearse before you pay a challenge fee.
- As many accounts as you like, reset in one click. Run a demo account and two challenges side by side, with any balance and leverage from 1:50 to 1:500. Reset whenever you want; every earlier run stays saved for comparison.
- It tells you what you are doing wrong. Every closed trade gets a setup score from 0 to 100, a verdict and how to improve. Before you click Buy or Sell, the entry check tells you what speaks against the trade. A broker demo account does none of this.

Everything in detail
Trading
- Market, limit and stop orders with stop loss and take profit. Move them by dragging the lines on the chart or editing the table.
- Close, partial close, move the stop to break-even, close all. ×2 opens a second position with the same volume, stop and target; Reverse closes it and opens the opposite side with the stop and target mirrored.
- The order panel shows what the stop and target would lose or make at your volume, with the reward-to-risk ratio; every line on the chart shows its pips and money while you drag it.
- Volume in lots or from your risk %, margin, free margin, margin level and a stop-out below 50%.
- Realistic costs: your broker's own commission for each symbol (or a fixed amount per lot, or none), overnight swap with the triple day, optional slippage, and P&L converted to your account currency at live rates.
- Nothing is missed: trades are tracked whenever cTrader runs with the plugin started, with or without a window open. When you reopen cTrader, the time it was closed is settled from one-minute bars.
Prop challenges
- Account sizes 10k, 50k, 100k and 200k, a 5% or 10% profit target, a 5% daily loss limit and a 10% maximum loss, checked on equity on every tick, with warnings at 75% and 90% of a limit.
- Break a limit and the challenge fails with all trades closed; reach the target with all trades closed and it passes. The top bar shows each account's progress, updated the moment a position closes.
Dashboard
- Overview: live account strip, 8 headline numbers with sparklines, equity and balance curve with drawdown, where your P&L came from (price, commission, swap) and open positions.
- Calendar: each day's P&L, trades, wins and losses, weekly totals, a timeline of any day, a year heatmap and monthly returns.
- Performance and Analysis: statistics in six groups, P&L by day, week, month or year, an edge map, cumulative R, streaks, results by symbol, side, session, weekday or hour, a 24-hour trading clock, distributions, holding time and MAE against MFE.
- Trades, Prop challenge and Runs tabs, with filters for period, run, symbol and side.
Journal
- Overview: your progress against before, a Stick-to-Rules meter, a FOMO-to-patience behaviour gauge, a five-pillar rating of your trading and the mistakes that cost you most.
- Day review, trade journal with filters, chart snapshots at entry and exit (missing ones are rebuilt from your broker's bars), notes with tags and templates, insights in plain words, your own lists of setups, mistakes, emotions and rules, and export to CSV.
- Spell check in every text field (English, American and British spellings, trading words and your symbols).
Trade Analyzer and Trade Coach
- A magnifier icon on every closed trade (History, Dashboard trades, journal): the verdict, a score 0–100 with a grade, what went wrong, how to improve, 22 checks (19 at the entry, 3 for how you managed it) and the trade's chart with the 10 EMA.
- Overview: setup quality of your wins and losses over time, lucky wins, why your trades lose (direction, location, timing, risk, management, behaviour) and what each finding costs you. Analyse all works through your history in the background, or analyse each trade as it closes.
- Entry check: the order panel judges your order (side, price, stop, target, volume, setup) as an entry made now and updates as you change the stop or target. It only warns; you decide.
- What happened next: what each trade would have made left alone with its first stop and target, and whether price reached your target after you closed, measured from your broker's bars.
- Trade Coach: a daily briefing with today's focus, a checklist before every click, a weekly challenge, your strengths and your progress.
- Demo trades only: the Trade Analyzer works on the trades Demo Trade Pro simulated. Want the same analysis on your real account? That is TraderJourneyPro.
Chart
- Seven chart types: candles, hollow candles, bars, line, area, baseline and Heikin Ashi (orders still fill at the real bid and ask).
- 39 built-in indicators, among them MarketStructureLite (BoS and CHoCH with an H1 to MN trend dashboard), OrderBlockLite, FVGContextPro, TheFirstCandle, DayContextPro and LiquidityContextPro, plus moving averages, Supertrend, Ichimoku, Bollinger Bands, VWAP, RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ATR and volume.
- 36 drawing tools (trend lines, channels, Fibonacci, Gann, shapes, text, long and short position tools), snapping to candles, saved per symbol.
- Zoom and pan, crosshair, light and dark themes, local time or UTC.
Made for
- Practising a strategy on your real prices before trading it with real money.
- Preparing for a prop-firm challenge: the same account sizes, targets and loss limits, with no fee to pay.
- Building discipline: rules, reviews, a score on every trade and a progress view that show whether you are really improving.
- New traders learning order types, margin and position sizing without risk.
Good to know
- Fills are simulated on your broker's live ticks. They do not model requotes, partial fills or market depth, and stops fill at the market price, so a gap gives a worse price.
- The prop challenge day runs from midnight to midnight Prague time; swap is charged at 17:00 New York time.
- Time when cTrader was closed is settled from one-minute bars, not ticks.
- The Trade Analyzer reads only your broker's price bars around each trade; its verdicts are an analysis of your demo trades, not trading signals.
- Custom and third-party cTrader indicators can't be added to the Demo Trade Pro chart; the 39 built-in indicators are available.
- Your data is stored on your computer (in cTrader's storage and the plugin's data folder) and is not synced between computers.
- Tested on cTrader for Windows.
Install and launch
- Install Demo Trade Pro from the cTrader Store. It appears under Algo → Plugins.
- Make sure it is switched on in Settings → Plugins (or started in Algo → Plugins). It runs without any special access rights, so no permission prompt appears, and it starts again each time cTrader opens.
- Click the Demo Trade Pro button (a shield with a check mark) in the chart toolbar. It opens full screen in its own window; prefer a tab? Change "Open as" in Settings.
- The first time, the New account dialog opens: choose a demo account with any balance, or a prop challenge, pick your leverage and click Create. Then set your volume, stop and target, and click Buy or Sell.

Disclaimer: Demo Trade Pro is a training and analysis tool. All trades are simulated, and results are not real trading results. Trading involves risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
