Secure broker connection

Trade MSFT through cTrader

Checking…

Connect a cTrader account. Demo trading is available when the selected broker offers this share CFD; Live trading through Trader Start requires IC Markets, FP Trading or another future supported partner broker and the instrument on that account.

Checking cTrader Gateway…

Broker-aware share trading

The chart uses cTrader when the selected account offers MSFT. If that broker does not expose the share CFD, Trader Start keeps the chart available with delayed market-data fallback and disables execution for that instrument.

Connecting market data…

Trader Start requests MSFT Bid/Ask and trendbars from the cTrader Open API whenever the selected broker account offers the share CFD. When the symbol is unavailable on that cTrader account, delayed market data keeps the chart usable but trading controls remain disabled until a broker/account with MSFT is selected.
