# cTrader

> OAuth read-only. The trust-friendliest path.

The most trust-friendly path. You authorize a read-only connection through Spotware OAuth. We never see your password and **cannot place trades** on the account from our infrastructure.

## When to pick it

* You're starting fresh and want the cleanest permissions story
* Your broker offers cTrader as a platform option (most do)
* You're OK running the compiled `.algo` cBot on your own cTrader Desktop install for execution

## How to connect

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    In the app sidebar, click **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Connect cTrader">
    The browser opens Spotware's OAuth consent screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize the connection">
    Spotware shows the scopes we're requesting. Click **Authorize**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Land back on Settings">
    The page lists your connected cTrader accounts. From here, tag each one with a
    firm in **Track** to enable Firm Mode.
  </Step>
</Steps>
