Installing cTrader Plugins

When you download a cTrader plugin from a 3rd party website like ClickAlgo.com, you will notice that they are the same as cBots with the .algo extension, so to install a plugin, you follow the same steps as installing a standard cBot. With our downloads, you will need to unzip the file and double click to install automatically. Instructions to install are the same for Installing cBots.

Tip

You can only have one instance of a plugin running at anytime and you can see how many plugins are currently running in the top menu with a green badge telling you how many are currently running. If you click on the plugin icon you will open the settings window where you can manage all plugins.
