Some forex brokers regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) offer their clients the well-known cTrader platform as one of their trading platforms. This platform was developed by the Cyprus-based company Spotware all the way back in 2011, and has since become a fairly strong competitor to the much better known MetaTrader platforms.
When cTrader was first released, the creators’ stated goal was to develop the “fastest and most reliable platform on the market” for the retail trading community. To what extent they succeeded with this is of course up for discussion, but it is a fact that many independent traders continue to use cTrader as their preferred trading platform today.
