    Free Version — cTrader CodePilot

    The free version of CodePilot is a simple AI assistant that uses ChatGPT to help traders learn cTrader Automate and basic cBot scripting. It is a useful starting point for asking questions, generating small code snippets, and understanding how the cTrader API works.

    Because it runs as a standard AI chatbot, it has some limitations when working on larger projects or maintaining context between sessions.

    What's included:

    • ✔️ 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 common development tasks
    • ✔️ No installation required — runs directly through ChatGPT

     

    Limitations:

    • ⚠️ Limited message history and session memory
    • ⚠️ Cannot retain your code or project context between sessions
    • ⚠️ Less specialised for complex cTrader development
    • ⚠️ Slower responses during peak usage
