Here’s an in-depth look at what this integration entails and the benefits it brings to brokers and traders alike.

Advanced Functionality to Support Broker Customisation

To cater to the unique requirements of brokers, Acuity’s integration with cTrader includes advanced functionalities that support customisation and control. Brokers can now:

  • Restrict Tool Access to Specific Servers: Brokers can choose which servers the tools are accessible on, giving them more control over distribution and user segmentation.
  • Limit Displayed Content Based on Account Balance: This feature allows brokers to use content restrictions as a targeted acquisition or retention tool, making certain features accessible based on account tiers or balance thresholds.
  • Direct Trade Execution from cBots: Traders can execute trades directly from within cBots, streamlining the trading experience by removing the need to switch between tools and trading screens.

These features offer brokers a high level of flexibility, enabling them to tailor the toolset to match their business models and client needs. With the ability to select which tools are installed and accessible, brokers can create a seamless, customised experience for their users.

Flexible Installation Options for Brokers

Recognising the diverse needs of brokers, Acuity has made it easy to install and manage these tools through multiple channels:

  1. Dashboard Installation: Brokers can select specific tools from the dashboard and download only the ones they want to offer to their users, reducing complexity and resource usage by avoiding unnecessary installations.
  2. cTrader App Store Availability: The tools will also be accessible via the cTrader App Store. While users can download the plugins, they will need to contact their broker to obtain an API key for access. This approach expands user reach, while also providing brokers control over access.

Enhanced Trading Experience with Native Integration

This integration allows cTrader users to benefit from Acuity’s features almost as though they were built into the platform itself. The tools are available as part of the Plugins functionality within cTrader, creating an experience that brings Acuity’s market insights and data to traders in a seamless, intuitive way. The available functionalities out of the box include:

  • Opening Trade Tickets: Traders can open trade tickets directly from the tools, streamlining the process of turning insights into action.
  • Live Pricing Updates: Acuity’s tools display real-time pricing updates using cTrader’s data, ensuring that users have the most accurate, up-to-date information when making trading decisions.

Why This Integration is a Game-Changer for Brokers and Traders

The integration of Acuity Trading tools into cTrader represents a new era of accessible, data-driven trading insights for brokers and their clients. By incorporating tools like the Research Terminal, AnalysisIQ and Calendars directly into the cTrader environment, brokers can now provide their users with an unparalleled trading experience by enhancing engagement and satisfaction.

For brokers, the ability to restrict access based on account balance or server ensures a more strategic deployment of these tools, supporting business goals while delivering targeted value to traders. For users, having these insights integrated into the cTrader platform offers a seamless trading experience that combines powerful analytics with intuitive functionality.
