Shared Access
Users can share, revoke, and reject access to trading accounts. Access is limited to trading activities and does not include deposits and withdrawals on behalf of the account owner. Account managers can access and manage several shared accounts of different users.
About Shared Access
Shared Access gives cTrader users the opportunity to delegate trading to account managers and professional traders. Access can be revoked by the owner of the trading account at any time. Similarly, the manager can reject access whenever necessary. When managing a shared account, it is impossible to follow a cTrader Copy strategy or make deposits and withdrawals. As a result, the owner retains control of their account and can trust their manager.
Benefits
Ease of Use
To share an account, all you need is an email or a cTrader ID of the person to whom you would like to provide access.
Guarantee of Security
Both owner and manager can revoke or reject access at any time.
Full Transparency
With Shared Access, both parties can see detailed trade statistics (such as deal or position reports) of each other’s actions.
Protection of Owner’s Funds
Managers of shared accounts cannot deposit or withdraw funds on behalf of the account owner.
Algo Trading Support
Managers of shared accounts can use cBots and custom indicators for trading.
Cross-platform Availability
Shared Access can be used in all cTrader applications including Desktop, Mobile, and Web. Therefore, owners can track the actions of their shared account managers on the go.
