Spotware Cuts cTrader Launch Time to One Second in Version 5.2

Spotware has launched version 5.2 of its cTrader platform, introducing new risk-reward tools and performance improvements across its mobile, web, desktop and Mac applications.

According to the press release sent to FinanceMagnates.com, the update focuses on helping traders better manage risk exposure while streamlining the trading experience through improved interface customization and faster performance.

Spotware Releases cTrader 5.2 with Enhanced Risk Management Features

For web users, cTrader 5.2 introduces timeframe-specific visibility settings for chart objects and indicators. This allows traders to display technical analysis elements only on relevant timeframes, reducing chart clutter when switching between different time periods.

“Every enhancement in cTrader 5.2 reflects our Traders First commitment,” commented Ilia Iarovitcyn, CEO at Spotware. “With just 1-second from icon tap to first price tick, to advanced risk-reward tools and API-powered automation, we've focused on what genuinely elevates trader performance–bringing institutional-grade capabilities to the cTrader community.”

The update comes two months after the launch of cTrader 5.1 in early March, along with the cBroker v9.4 back-office solution released in the same month.

A new object manager enables bulk modifications to chart elements, while a dedicated notifications tab has been added to the Active Symbol Panel to provide real-time updates on orders, positions and other trading activities.

The platform now supports uploading locally stored algorithm files (.algo) to cloud storage, enabling cross-device algorithmic trading without interruption.

Mobile and Desktop Enhancements

The mobile version now features a risk-reward calculator that allows traders to determine optimal position sizes based on stop-loss levels directly on charts. Users can calculate trades using three modes: risk amount, potential reward, or specific position size.

Spotware has also reduced the application launch time to one second, allowing traders to access markets more quickly when opportunities arise. The company has added in-app notifications for new version releases to keep users informed about platform updates.

The Windows version incorporates risk-reward visualization tools and new API interfaces for programmatic price alert management. Developers can now create applications that set and monitor price alerts automatically.

A new messaging system allows algorithms running within the same cTrader instance to communicate in real time, supporting more sophisticated trading strategies. The update also provides API access to deposit and withdrawal records for improved financial tracking.

The interface now features draggable UI elements and improved tab management for better workspace organization.

In the meantime, the company also launched the cTrader Discord Community, as the platform remains popular among retail traders in both the prop trading and CFD markets.
