Spotware releases cTrader Mobile 5.6 with upgraded charts and clearer equity views

Spotware, the company behind the multi-asset trading platform cTrader, has rolled out cTrader Mobile 5.6. This update focuses on clearer account insights, easier chart analysis, and a cleaner layout. Highlights include a new equity chart on the account dashboard, a candle countdown timer, a refreshed landscape chart view, and chart UI tweaks that improve readability.

Visualizing account performance

cTrader Mobile 5.6 adds an equity chart to the account dashboard. It shows how trades, deposits, and withdrawals affect equity over time. Traders can also pick date ranges, which helps them review changes over specific periods and better understand what moved the account.

Time-based chart analysis

Charts now include a candle countdown that shows how much time is left before the current candle closes, based on the selected timeframe. This helps with timing and makes it easier to plan entries and exits with more accuracy. Spotware says the feature was added after users asked for more control when trading around candle closes.

Bigger charts in landscape mode

The landscape layout has been redesigned to give charts more room. Quick Trade controls and toolbar tools stay available, arranged in a compact single row to keep the screen clean. With less clutter, it’s easier to read price action and manage trades from a phone.

Cleaner chart interface

Spotware also updated chart visuals with a more transparent price axis and removed axis separators. The result is a simpler look with fewer distractions. Charts can be dragged and resized more freely too, making it easier to adjust scale and position without UI elements getting in the way.

Live trading ribbons

Version 5.6 introduces live trading ribbons, which are in-app prompts that show relevant actions based on account status. These can include switching accounts, opening a live account, or adding funds. Ribbons appear only when triggered by certain conditions, such as moving between demo and live, strong demo results without a live account, no live account, or a low live balance. They disappear once the condition no longer applies, and brokers can manage or disable them.

“With cTrader Mobile 5.6, we are strengthening the mobile experience in ways that matter across the trading ecosystem,” said Sergey Borisov, Product Manager for cTrader Mobile at Spotware. “Our Traders First™ approach turns feedback into practical improvements, delivering a premium mobile trading experience for traders and a scalable ecosystem for brokers.”

Together, these updates make cTrader Mobile 5.6 easier to read and use, while supporting faster decisions and smoother trading on the go.
