How to connect Grok to cTrader
With TraderWAI, Grok can read live charts, check your cTrader account and prepare orders with stop loss and take profit that you approve. It takes about 2 minutes and you don't need to install anything on your computer.
cTrader: Fast execution and an open API; the most common ECN alternative to MetaTrader.
Step 1: add TraderWAI to Grok
Works on grok.com and in the Grok app. Uses Grok's custom connectors (if you don't see the option, your plan or region may not have it yet).
- Open Grok and go to Connectors (grok.com/connectors, or Settings → Connectors in the app).
- Click «New Connector» and choose «Custom».
- Name: TraderWAI. Server URL: https://mcp.traderwai.com
- Save and sign in with Google to authorize access (if you don't have a TraderWAI account yet, it is created at this step).
- In a new chat, ask Grok to use TraderWAI, e.g. «Show me the EUR/USD H1 chart».
Step 2: connect your cTrader account
In TraderWAI go to Settings → Broker accounts → Add account and choose cTrader.
Click «Connect with cTrader» and sign in with your cTrader ID. You don't share your password with TraderWAI.
cTrader works on the free plan: unlimited charts and analysis, and 5 order executions per day.
Step 3: ask Grok
Open a new chat and try, for example:
- «Show me the gold H1 chart and tell me where the key levels are.»
- «What positions do I have open and how much am I risking?»
- «Prepare a buy limit on EUR/USD at yesterday's low with a 20-pip stop and a 2R target. I'll approve it.»
What Grok can do with your cTrader account
- Read live charts in any timeframe, with the indicators you ask for.
- Check your balance, open positions and pending orders.
- Backtest a strategy idea on historical data before risking anything.
- Prepare market, limit and stop orders with stop loss and take profit that you approve.
- Leave conditional orders that TraderWAI watches every minute.
- Respect your risk limits: maximum daily loss and drawdown, risk per trade, size and number of trades.
Questions
Is it free to connect Grok to cTrader?
Yes. The free plan includes unlimited charts and analysis and 5 order executions per day.
Does Grok place orders on its own?
Only if you want it to. By default every order needs your approval. You can also allow automatic execution for specific symbols, always within the risk limits you set.
Is my cTrader account safe?
Your credentials are encrypted (AES-256) and the key is kept on a separate server. TraderWAI only acts on your account as you instruct and never requests withdrawal permissions.
Does it work with demo accounts?
Yes, with demo and live cTrader accounts. We recommend starting with a demo.
Other AIs with cTrader
Trading involves risk. TraderWAI is a technology tool: it does not provide investment advice and AI analysis is not a recommendation; you decide every order.
