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'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.

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...
