Auto-Sync cTrader Trades to Vigil

cTrader is the platform forex traders choose when they want something more modern than MetaTrader. Clean interface, transparent pricing, and execution quality that attracts both retail and institutional traders. FundedNext, Phidias PropFirm, and FunderPro run evaluations on cTrader, and the platform's built-in copy trading and algorithmic trading support make it popular with systematic traders.

The cTrader interface is better than MT4's. The execution is faster. The analytics are more visual. But it still does not solve the compliance problem. cTrader shows your equity curve, your position history, your win rate. It does not tell you that your lot size on GBPJPY was 50% above your maximum, that you opened a position 3 minutes before NFP when your rules say to flatten, or that your daily loss crossed the 5% threshold at 15:41 UTC.

Vigil connects to your cTrader account and syncs trades automatically. Every position gets pulled into Vigil's compliance engine and checked against your prop firm rules and your personal trading plan. For cTrader prop firm traders, this means real-time visibility into where you stand against daily loss limits, drawdown thresholds, and consistency requirements. You find out about rule violations from Vigil, not from your prop firm's risk department.
