How It Works
TradeLog connects to cTrader's Open API using secure OAuth authentication. Your trades are fetched directly from cTrader's servers - no software to install, no cBot to run. Works even when cTrader is closed.
Click Connect
In your TradeLog settings, click the Connect cTrader button. A secure OAuth popup will open.
Authorize Access
Log in with your cTrader ID and click Allow. TradeLog only requests read-only trading access.
Select Accounts & Sync
Choose which cTrader accounts to link, then click Sync. Your trades will be imported automatically with full P&L details.
Set up in seconds. Works automatically from there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about cTrader API integration
What is the difference between cBot sync and API sync?
The cBot runs inside cTrader Automate and syncs trades in real-time as they close. API sync connects via OAuth and fetches trades on demand - no software installation needed. API sync also supports historical data import from any date range.
Is the API connection free?
Yes. The cTrader Open API is completely free for all users. There are no fees from cTrader, Spotware, or TradeLog for using this integration.
How long does the connection last?
The OAuth token is valid for 30 days and refreshes automatically. You should not need to reconnect unless you revoke access from your cTrader account settings.
Which prop firms are supported?
Any prop firm that uses cTrader as their trading platform is supported, including FTMO, FundedNext, PipFarm, Alpha Capital Group, Funding Pips, FunderPro, Rebels Funding, and many more.
Can I use both cBot and API sync?
Yes, but we recommend using only one method per account to avoid duplicate trades. If you switch from cBot to API sync, any already-synced trades will be detected and skipped automatically.
Brokers that use cTrader API
Trade cTrader API at any of these and TradeLog can read the account.
