    This tool has been developed to help customers who use the cTrader trading platform test their email, telegram and SMS settings to make sure they are working correctly for trade alerts sent by the platform, a custom indicator, automated trading system or an Add-On application. Many of the core of our product messaging features use these three types of instant alerts, so we mainly created them for our own customers to make their life easier.
