Active Symbol Panel

Active Symbol Panel (ASP) is now available in cTrader Desktop 3.5. It provides detailed symbol information including Market Sentiment, Market Details, Trade Statistics, Market Hours, Inverted Rate, Leverage, and Depth of Market. The ASP panel has fast controls enabling traders to quickly open new charts, create new orders and change symbols. They can now also link charts not only between the different charts but also charts with the ASP panel, as well as switch symbol from ASP panel in Watchlists. The introduction of ASP panel allows traders to quickly grasp the current market situation for the symbol of their interest and take fast actions when the opportunity strikes increasing their trading possibilities.

Merged Side Menu

The new cTrader Desktop also has a new side menu merging all the applications, settings, fast controls and watchlists under one hood. The new menu contains full-screen mode, theme switching, sounds, and language selection controls at the top. The symbol finder and watchlists are embedded in the side menu under Trade application, followed by Automate, and Analyze applications. The merged menu not only greatly improves navigation but also saves more space once collapsed comparing to the previous version.

New Accounts Menu

The new Accounts menu provides fast access to traders’ accounts that are linked to their cTrader ID.

New Layout Modes

New cTrader application layouts have been introduced, such as Show Active Symbol Panel and Show Tradewatch. By removing the ticks from both and collapsing menu, traders will be able to see only charts on their screen, thus expanding their view. The new layout options are available in the menu bar and settings panel.

Added Live Renko Bar

For a fuller picture of the price movement, Renko charts have a live bar now.
