Is there any way to directly access the server - say if ihad my own algo container or charting package and wanted to access the cTrader provided liquidity and server side trading

Is the protocol open and/or documented ?

Not at the moment. We may provide this in the future.

Errm !

Then how does the Open API work - does it require that you run a local cTrader to perform the communication with the server ? Does the Open API allow a connection to cTrader - then on onto the server.

This question is similar to that for which metaquotes is often criticised and spotware is advertised as a saviour - products can connect to Mt4 server using an embedded EA and bridging commahnds (as you can with a cTrader robot) but most prefer DIRECT CONNECTS which MQ is attempting to eradicate- which, according to you - does not exist for spotware at all 

 

So how/where is it more Open ?

 

"Spotware Systems, developers of the FX platforms cTrader and cAlgo, have released details about their upcoming open API called Spotware Connect. The project will help third-party application developers easily build their own cTrader systems, and integrate existing FX related products into the cTrader platform."
