it's coming

Linked charts are in our plans. Development has not started yet, but the requirements are ready and will go to development in a couple of months.

The feature will be combined with "timeframe favourites shortcuts", to the left of every chart. You will be able modify which timeframe shortcuts are present there.

Spotware CEO replies

Uche, BeardPower,

I would like to address your open letter.

Firstly let me share with you where Spotware is now. We're a company in Cyprus of around 100 people, just over 7 years old. We have 4 major technology teams for Server, Windows, Web and Mobile development. Then we have product teams consisting of Product Managers, Business Analysts and Quality Assurance, they are supported by Deployment Engineers, DBA/DBP, System Admins, Designers and the Service Assurance team. This is the muscle part of the company - some serious muscle I have to say - my guys kick ass like no other in the industry. And a bit of fat: me, sales, finance, marketing, HR. The plan is to grow to around 150 people in the short to medium term. 

As for products, apart from all the infrastructure (cServer, cHub, Proxy Cloud, cBroker), which is mostly of interest to brokers we have cTrader, cAlgo, cMirror. Some of it is in the downloadable, some on the web and on the mobile. cTrader has been a major focus for us and as you see we are delivering there constantly, we will also soon release Renko, Range, super-fast ticks as well as some new interesting order types like MOO and OCO. cMirror has been gradually progressing; it now can hold over 1000 followers per strategy, it's ROI is just about to change to daily TWRR. cAlgo was in maintenance mode for a long time, I will not make a secret out of this, that's changed - it is now under new management of a promising professional who I hope will engage with you here and his plans are vast, including: API growth vertically and horizontally, IDE and backtesting improvements, monetization for you guys through a cBot store, maybe even cloud execution. We will soon release brand new mobile native applications with smooth charts, fast loading time. You may be pleased to know that we are currently merging all applications into one - i.e. cAlgo will go inside cTrader. An amazing PAMM solution will be released soon. There is a lot we have to do due to regulatory changes, many other broker requests, but we always stay true to Traders First (TM) and brokers still cannot inject prices or use things like "virtual dealer" as in other platforms or interfere in any other way. I won't even go into all the stuff we have done on the infrastructure, connectivity side of things - we all know that cTrader execution speed is unsurpassed. 

In regards to our broker clients. We are currently the second largest platform provider in the industry. Part of the reason we are not the first is that we do not onboard all the brokers that come to us. Not only that, we let some brokers go when they are not treating their clients properly. We will not tolerate bucket shop operations under the cTrader name. Another part is that the competitor does have some strengths like the algo community. But word on the street is that only 1/3 of competing platform brokers are legit operations, many of which are also our clients. The other 2/3 we just wouldn't onboard. The beauty of it for traders is that with cTrader you can be sure that you are dealing with a legit broker - as legit as it gets. Our plan is to grow further, while maintaining the Traders First (TM) approach. We do not look for short term gains. 

You also mentioned lack of communication. I hope this post shines some light. We do a good job informing you on what's delivered. We will make an effort to see how we can engage you guys in what's in the making - maybe here on cTDN. I think it is not a bad idea for Product Managers to talk to you on the subject of what's in development now, maybe even sharing feature requirements here with you for feedback. Importantly, we understand that in the end of the day it is you guys voting for platforms with your trades and therefore it makes sense to build what you need, not what maybe assumed that you need. Also, we will see how to make this forum more useful - with less canned responses and more meaningful engagement. After all we all love cTrader.

Oh, in case you did not read the whole of the above - we are building a store for you to sell your cBots! Get ready.
