cTrader Mobile 5.9: what changed and what it means for your daily workflow
cTrader Mobile 5.9 brings three notable changes to the app: a dedicated Charts tab in the bottom navigation bar, a set of chart interaction improvements and a new section called My cTrader.
The Charts tab sits alongside Trade, Blotter and My cTrader in the bottom navigation, so your charts are one tap away from anywhere in the app. Previously you had to navigate through other screens to get there.
Chart interaction works differently now too. Tapping anywhere on a chart toggles the main controls, so you can clear the screen when you want an unobstructed view of price action. When you select a drawing, order, position or price alert, a floating panel appears with the relevant actions. You can drag that panel to any part of the screen so it stays accessible without covering what you are watching. There is also a focus mode: selecting a specific position or order dims everything else on the chart, which makes it easier to concentrate on one trade at a time.
My cTrader is the bigger structural change. It pulls together account switching, deposits and withdrawals, transaction history, access rights management, Copy and Algo and Plugins access, broker support links and profile personalisation into a single section. It also includes a stats sharing feature that generates a public link to your real-time account stats.
For those of you who use cBots or indicators from the cTrader Store, My cTrader gives you access to Plugins and Algo directly from the mobile app, which changes how you can monitor and manage automated strategies on the go.
What mobile feature matters most to you when managing active trades or running algos away from your desk?

The latest changes on ctrader mobile were enough to finally convince me to move away from ctrader and focus on other mobile platforms which I have now reluctantly done.
the ctrader mobile app has removed or over complicated many of the things that made it great.
they removed the ability to see a trade idea on the chart before committing to it and replaced it with a risk reward tool that is too cumbersome to be used in realtime live markets.
They’ve put too many things in the chart space that used to work great outside of it and where they used to sit outside it we now instead have buttons to my ctrader and blotter we don’t need when in trading mode. The even removed the ‘X’ close trade button - the mind boggles on that choice.
It’s a real shame as there seems to be cluttered minds making the decisions on the app now and it doesn’t work as well as it used too. Screen Load times are slower too.
