3 Ways Social Trading on cTrader Boosts Trading Volumes

Basics
Increase trading volumes

cTrader by Spotware is a widely popular platform trusted by 4 million traders and 100+ brokers worldwide. Despite its popularity, brokers face the ongoing challenge of increasing trade volumes. Copy trading, a growing trend in the trading world, offers significant potential to address this.

However, traditional copy trading solutions often limit traders to copying signals within the same platform. So cTrader traders can’t copy MT4 or MT5 users and vice versa—missing out on trading opportunities.

The latest integration between Brokeree Solutions’ Social Trading and cTrader solves this limitation. It not only enables cross-platform signal copying but also has key features for cTrader users that are designed to increase trading volumes.

Here are the top three:

Cross-Platform Signal Sharing

As mentioned earlier, one of the biggest advantages of the integration between cTrader and Social Trading is the ability to share trading signals across different platforms. A signal provider using cTrader can now attract followers from MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms. This means more potential followers for each strategy and more trading opportunities across platforms.

For example, imagine a successful trader who specializes in forex pairs trading using cTrader. Previously, their strategies were only available to other cTrader users. Now, they can share their signals with MT4 and MT5 traders, too. So, if they open a EUR/USD position, followers across all three platforms can automatically copy that trade.

What makes this even more powerful is the proportional copying feature. Let’s say the signal provider trades with a $100,000 account and opens a one-lot position. A follower with a $10,000 account can copy this trade proportionally at 0.1 lots, maintaining the same risk-reward ratio while trading within their means. This risk-adjusted copying encourages more traders to participate, as they can follow larger accounts without overexposing their capital.

When traders can easily share and copy signals regardless of their preferred platform while managing their risk appropriately, it naturally leads to increased trading activity.

Mobile Trading Access

The Social Trading mobile app works on both iPhone and Android, giving traders easy access to the market wherever they are. This means they can respond to trading signals right away, even if they are away from their computers. For example, when a signal provider trades, followers get instant notifications and can copy them straight away so they don’t miss out.

The app also helps traders stay more engaged. Customizable notifications let them track specific signal providers or strategies they care about most, making them more likely to participate. And with simple controls for managing copying settings, traders can follow multiple strategies and increase overall market activity.

This always-on connection to trading makes it easier for traders to check positions, follow signals, and adjust strategies at any time—whether they’re commuting, on a break, or after hours. For brokers, this higher engagement translates directly into increased trading volumes across the platform.

Real-Time Performance Data

Ratings Module helps traders find and choose signal providers more easily. When traders can see real-time performance data through charts and graphs, they’re more confident about who to follow. It’s like having a scoreboard of the best performers. When traders can easily spot successful strategies, they’re more likely to start copy trading.

The widgets on the broker’s website also spark interest from new traders. When visitors see live trading performance, it encourages them to sign up and start copying trades. And once they’re in the trading room, these same performance dashboards help them stay active. They can quickly spot new trading opportunities and switch between different signal providers.

Having all this information in one place—performance charts, trader statistics, and copying options—makes it simpler for traders to make decisions. The easier it is to find and follow successful traders, the more copying activity happens. More copying means more trading volume.

Conclusion 

For brokers, this integration offers a practical way to increase trading activity without providing additional incentives. It makes trading more accessible, keeps traders better informed, and helps them manage risk effectively.
