Superior Local Trade Copier

Superior Algorithms 

The Superior Local Trade Copier is a professional-grade cBot (algorithm) for the cTrader desktop platform that automatically and instantly reproduces trades from one account onto one or many others. You load the same cBot twice: once in Sender mode on the source (master) account, and once in Receiver mode on each follower account. When the master opens, modifies, or closes a trade, every follower does the same within about a second.

It is a local copier: the master and all followers run on the same Windows PC (or VPS) and communicate through cTrader's own device-scoped local storage — never over the internet. That means no third-party server, no subscription relay, no network latency, and complete privacy. The Sender simply publishes the master's trades to a shared channel (the File identifier); the Receiver reads that channel and reproduces the trades, reshaped to whatever risk profile you choose.

The problems it solves

Run many accounts from one strategy — place a trade once (manually or from any EA/robot) on the master and it appears on every follower automatically.
Prop-firm / funded trading — mirror a master onto evaluation and funded accounts (or vice-versa) while each follower keeps its own size, drawdown limits, and rule preset.
Different risk per account — the same entries can run at half size on a small account and full size on a large one, each with its own stops and baskets.
Hedging / reversing — copy the master in reverse or onto an opposite account for hedging strategies.
Privacy and speed — because it's local, there is no external service and no network delay between accounts.
Who it's for

Multi-account retail traders holding several cTrader accounts (or accounts at several brokers) who want them trading in lockstep.
Prop-firm / funded traders juggling challenge and funded accounts who need per-account risk and compliance tools.
Signal providers and money managers running a master account copied to client accounts on the same machine or VPS.
Strategy / EA developers running one master robot and fanning its trades out to several test or live accounts.
Full feature set (all configured on the Receiver)

With all input settings, the copier can mirror trades exactly as-is, or completely reshape each follower's behaviour:

Identify & link — Transmitter Account Number and matching File identifier connect each follower to its source; multiple pairs on one PC use different identifiers so they never cross-talk.
Filtering & scheduling — copy only chosen symbols, directions, or magic numbers; restrict copying to specific days and trading hours.
Trade types & execution quality — control which order types copy, plus slippage and spread protection for clean fills.
Stops & take-profit — copy the master's SL/TP, override them in points or pips, or add your own; break-even and trailing-stop management.
Partial closure — proportionally mirror the master's partial closes on the follower.
Lot sizing & exposure — multiple sizing models: copy-exact, fixed lot, multiplier, and risk-% (size so hitting the stop loses a set percentage), plus a hard Maximum Receiver Lot Size cap. Includes a built-in "which model should I pick?" decision guide.
Trade management & timed actions — automated management rules and time-based actions on open trades.
Basket management — treat all open copied trades as one group and exit everything together when the combined result hits a profit or loss target.
Symbol mapping — copy between brokers whose symbol names differ (e.g. EURUSD ↔ EURUSD.r).
Prop-firm compliance & stealth — daily-loss and drawdown protection, rule presets, and stealth mode to keep funded accounts compliant.
Emergency protection — an emergency cut-off that closes/blocks trades when limits are breached.
Notifications & the File identifier — status alerts plus the all-important shared channel name.
Live dashboard

The Receiver shows an on-chart SUPERIOR COPIER panel with real-time connection status and one-click controls for everyday use, so you can see at a glance that copying is live.

Requirements

The cTrader desktop app (cBots do not run on the web or mobile versions).
Both master and follower accounts logged in on the same PC, each in its own window via Start-up → Multiple profiles.
A Hedging follower account is recommended (Netting accounts can net off opposite copied trades).
Every symbol the master trades must exist on the follower (name differences are handled by Symbol Mapping).

Superior cTrader To Discord Notifier

Superior cTrader to Discord Notifier

Superior cTrader to Discord Notifier is a utility designed to connect the cTrader desktop terminal directly to the Discord application. It utilizes the cAlgo API to monitor trading activity and broadcast formatted text updates to Discord channels, servers, or groups using webhook integrations.

Core Use Cases

1. Signal Providers & Communities

This tool is built to assist Signal Providers who manage public or private Discord servers. The bot automatically publishes trade entries, modifications, and exits directly to Discord. Because the message formats are customizable (e.g., hiding lot sizes or ticket numbers), providers can broadcast clean, professional trade signals to their VIP channels or free community spaces without exposing private account details.

2. Personal Remote Monitoring

Retail traders can link the bot to their personal Discord server. This allows you to monitor your cTrader account's performance, open positions, floating profit, and risk levels from your mobile device while away from the trading desk.

Technical Features

Real-Time Trade Monitoring

Monitors the cTrader account for changes in positions and pending orders, triggering real-time notifications for:

- Market Executions: Position Opened, Position Closed, Position Partially Closed, and Position Modified (SL/TP adjusted).

- Pending Orders: Limit/Stop Order Placed, Order Modified, and Order Deleted.

Interactive On-Chart Dashboard

Includes a custom-built, draggable GUI dashboard rendered directly on the cTrader chart. The dashboard allows users to change settings on the fly without needing to restart the cBot or open the parameters menu.

- Tabs: Features categorized tabs (Trades, Orders, Format, Actions).

- Toggle Switches: Checkboxes to instantly enable/disable specific event notifications (e.g., turn off order modifications, or turn on partial close alerts).

- Manual Triggers: Buttons to trigger a Daily Report, or send a Test Connection message.

- UI Management: The dashboard can be minimized into a slim title bar to save chart space.

Customizable Message Formatting

Provides strict control over what data is included in the Discord broadcast. Users can toggle the visibility of the following variables to protect privacy or clean up signal formats:

- Show/Hide Ticket Numbers

- Show/Hide Lot Sizes (Volume)

- Show/Hide Stop Loss and Take Profit prices

- Show/Hide Net Profit on closed trades

Automated Reporting & Risk Alerts

- Advanced Daily Report: At a user-defined hour, the cBot generates a comprehensive summary of the day's performance. This includes total closed trades, net daily profit, current floating P/L, and a list of all active/closed trades.

- Account Status Updates: Sends periodic updates containing the current Balance, Equity, and Free Margin at a set interval (e.g., every 60 minutes).

- Risk Management Alerts: Monitors account health and sends emergency warnings if Floating Drawdown exceeds a specified percentage, or if the Margin Level drops below a defined safety threshold.

ReversalPivot3 is a semi-automatic cBot for cTrader that detects reversal patterns (spike candles) across 3 independent, fully configurable timeframes (default M15, H4, Daily — freely adjustable). It plots Fibonacci or Classic pivot levels on a Daily/Weekly/Monthly basis directly on the chart. It includes a PROTECT system: if a position moves into loss down to the next pivot level, it automatically opens an opposite-side hedge with configurable volume, instead of closing on a fixed stop loss. Master buttons let you turn entries and PROTECT on/off in real time, without restarting the cBot. Works on any symbol supported by cTrader (one instance per chart/symbol).Opening entries and PROTECT hedges is fully automatic; closing the hedged pair of positions, however, is left to the trader's discretion — they decide the best time to close it (at breakeven or in profit) based on their own market assessment. The cBot does not yet manage the hedge's exit or re-arm on its own.It is recommended to use it on a demo account first: being an algorithmic trading system that operates autonomously only in part, it still carries the risk of losing the invested capital and does not rule out the possibility of liquidation of the position or the entire account in the event of adverse market movements. No guarantee of profit. Test thoroughly on demo before any use on a live account.Italiano:ReversalPivot3 è un cBot semi-automatico per cTrader che rileva pattern di reversal (candele spike) su 3 timeframe indipendenti e completamente configurabili (default M15, H4, Daily, liberamente modificabili). Traccia i livelli pivot Fibonacci o Classic su base Daily/Weekly/Monthly direttamente sul grafico. Include un sistema PROTECT: se una posizione va in perdita fino al livello pivot successivo, apre automaticamente una copertura di segno opposto con volume configurabile, invece di chiudere in stop loss fisso. Pulsanti master permettono di attivare/disattivare le entrate e il PROTECT in tempo reale, senza riavviare il cBot. Funziona su qualsiasi simbolo supportato da cTrader (un'istanza per grafico/simbolo).L'apertura delle entrate e delle coperture PROTECT è interamente automatica; la chiusura della coppia di posizioni in copertura resta invece a discrezione del trader, che decide il momento più opportuno per chiuderle (in pareggio o in profitto) in base alla propria valutazione del mercato — il cBot non gestisce ancora in autonomia l'uscita o il rearm della copertura.Si raccomanda di utilizzarlo innanzitutto su conto demo: trattandosi di un sistema di trading algoritmico che opera in autonomia solo in parte, comporta comunque il rischio di perdita del capitale investito e non esclude la possibilità di liquidazione della posizione o dell'intero conto in caso di movimenti di mercato avversi. Nessuna garanzia di profitto. Testare a fondo in demo prima di qualsiasi utilizzo su conto reale.

Semi-automatic cBot: multi-timeframe reversal detection, Fibonacci/Classic pivots, PROTECT via hedging.

ReversalPivot3 is a semi-automatic cBot designed for the cTrader platform that identifies reversal patterns, specifically spike candles, across three independently configurable timeframes (default settings: M15, H4, Daily). It visually plots Fibonacci or Classic pivot levels on Daily, Weekly, and Monthly bases directly on the chart. The cBot features a PROTECT system that automatically opens an opposite-side hedge with configurable volume if a position moves into loss down to the next pivot level, instead of closing with a fixed stop loss. Traders can enable or disable entries and the PROTECT system in real time via master buttons without restarting the cBot. Entry and hedge openings are fully automated, while closing hedged positions is manually controlled by the trader based on market conditions. ReversalPivot3 supports any symbol available on cTrader, with one instance per chart or symbol. It is suited for swing trading with medium trade frequency and uses a fixed lot risk model. The system incorporates key levels, support and resistance, and Fibonacci analysis. Backtesting data covers over a year with leverage up to 500. The cBot does not autonomously manage hedge exits or re-arming. Users are advised to test thoroughly on demo accounts before live use.
