What a ridiculous statement...you do have an initial stop, right? So you need to figure out the size of the position, otherwise how would you know how much are you going to lose if the trade goes against you and hits your stop?
This feature would merely save those of us who utilize proper risk management some time and hassle. It has got nothing to do with trailing stops. Also, if calculation of position sizing is too complicated for you, maybe you should stay away from trading the financial markets...

Personally I found it very stable (no crashes in 6+ months, while the same cannot be said for MT4) and fast too, but the memory consumption is an issue. An MT4 loaded with charts eats around 50-60 MBs of RAM, while cTrader with less charts (around 10-15) is eating 5-600 MBs. Definitely need to work on this.

I'd say this should be implemented not only for moving averages, but for all visual objects. MT4 has this functionality, and it's pretty useful for any kind of multi timeframe technical analysis.

Tick charts are already available. Setting a custom amount of ticks would be new, but then again setting a custom amount of minutes for time based charts would be too.

Renko would be certainly nice though...

You mean what you can already do by right-clicking on a symbol in the list, and chose "Information"?

I'm pretty sure what you want is impossible, eg. to trade the same account balance with cTrader and MT4 in a parallel way.

Also, as far as I know cTrader developers have already stated, that CFD trading is dependant on the broker, and is not a limitation of the platform itself.

You can do almost all of it now in cTrader. Not everything, but most of it.

So what you should do, is enter one pending order 3x the size of your regular size (so it will essentially become 3 orders). Set up all 3 take profit levels, with a third of the whole volume for each. Also, set the breakeven pips amount to be the same as tp1. You can also set a simple trailing stop to start from tp2, which is not the same as what you want (because it will start from the entry, and not from tp1) but it's more than nothing.

This has been implemented in the latest update, and so should be removed from the feature suggestions.

This has already been implemented for limit orders, sweet. But it would be nice to have this for stop orders too.

Not necessarily, Anonymous. Single-chart mode - which I happen to use most of the time - has indeed a "selected" chart at all times.

Could you describe what is exactly the point of this? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely interested, but I don't get it from the description.

Charles, this has nothing to do with cTrader, if you don't have NZD/JPY you should contact your broker and ask them about the issue. I use Trader's Way and IC Markets cTrader, both have the pair.

This is definitely a limitation by the broker, so it should be removed from feature requests, and anyone who has such problems should adress their broker with the issue...

I tried cTrader with both Trader's Way and IC Markets and both allow 1k steps for sure.

Since when does Pepperstone offer cTrader? Can't find cTrader as a listed platform on their site...

Maybe I don't understand your idea, but isn't this already possible? You can enter any lot size you want. Or maybe it is a broker restriction? I'm able to enter any "amount of k" I wish to trade.

Or in other words, a setting for a default lot size - if I understand you correctly. A must have!

Absolutely agree. Very important feature that cTrader is in need of!
