What is cTrader Commander?
cTrader Commander acts as a sophisticated bridge between your AI agent and the cTrader trading platform. By wrapping complex Protobuf connections into a simplified local REST API, it allows developers to execute trades, monitor positions, and retrieve historical data without managing complex authentication tokens in every request.
This skill leverages Openclaw Skills capabilities to provide a secure, local-first environment where credentials reside safely in environment variables. It eliminates the need for manual platform interaction by exposing essential trading functions through a simple localhost interface, making it ideal for developers building automated financial tools.
cTrader Commander Use Cases
- Automated algorithmic trading based on real-time market signals.
- Building custom trading dashboards that monitor balance, equity, and margin.
- Executing complex order types like limit and stop orders via simple CLI commands.
- Backtesting or analyzing market trends using historical OHLC (trendbar) data.
- Integrating trading functionality into multi-agent workflows using Openclaw Skills.
How cTrader Commander Works
- The local proxy server is initialized using credentials stored in a .env file on the host machine.
- Users query the proxy to find broker-specific symbol IDs for their desired trading instruments.
- RESTful POST or GET requests are sent to the local endpoint (localhost:9009) to trigger trading actions or data fetches.
- The proxy translates these HTTP requests into cTrader's native Protobuf protocol and communicates with the broker's servers.
- The proxy receives the broker's response and returns a clean, parseable JSON object to the caller.
cTrader Commander Setup
First, clone the proxy repository and configure your environment variables to include your cTrader credentials:
git clone https://github.com/LogicalSapien/ctrader-openapi-proxy
cd ctrader-openapi-proxy
# Add your credentials to .env
make run
Ensure you have curl and python3 installed. To verify that the proxy is running and ready to be used with Openclaw Skills, run:
curl -s "http://localhost:9009/get-data?command=ProtoOAVersionReq"
