cTrader CodePilot – Free vs Paid Version

cTrader CodePilot is your intelligent assistant for developing algorithmic trading robots (cBots) in C# for the cTrader platform. Whether you're just getting started or are already experienced, CodePilot helps you build, debug, and enhance your trading systems faster. To support traders at all levels, Open AI offer both a Free and a Paid version of CodePilot. Here's a breakdown of what each version offers:

Free Version – Get Started Instantly

The free version gives you access to the same GPT-4 Turbo engine that powers ChatGPT, making it a great starting point for learning cTrader Automate and basic cBot scripting. You can ask questions, get help with everyday coding tasks, and see example snippets—but there are some trade-offs.

It doesn’t remember your previous sessions, so there’s no continuity between chats. Responses tend to be more general, and you won’t have access to the advanced templates or structured development patterns found in professional-grade bots. Still, it’s a helpful option for exploring or building simple automation projects.

What’s included:

• ✔️ Access to the GPT-4 Turbo model (ChatGPT)

• ✔️ Help writing simple cBot templates and indicator scripts in C#

• ✔️ Basic error troubleshooting and explanations

• ✔️ Guidance on using cTrader Algo and backtesting features

• ✔️ Short snippets and examples for everyday tasks

• ✔️ No installation required – works directly in the trading platform

Limitations:

• ⚠️ Limited message history and memory per session

• ⚠️ No access to premium prompts, templates, or advanced coding patterns

• ⚠️ Cannot retain your project context or code between sessions

• ⚠️ Slower performance during peak times
