    Adding Negative Balance Limit to Group Settings

    application, you can now add a negative balance limit in USD. If the negative balance of any account belonging to this group drops below the defined limit, the protection will not be triggered, and the server will not top up the account balance automatically. Otherwise, the negative balance protection is triggered, and the account balance is restored to zero. This is a handy functionality for brokers to avoid manual reviews and manage risks.


    Reordering Sections and Applications in the Main Menu

    Reordering Sections and Applications in the Main Menu

    The main menu of cBroker is now customisable. You can drag and drop application sections and change the order of applications within each section as you find convenient. Just note that the ‘Favourites’ section always remains at the top. The sequence of sections and applications is saved per manager per environment. When a new section or application is added to cBroker, you will find it at the end of the main menu or respective section. Setting your preferred order of sections and applications, you will navigate around cBroker most efficiently.


    Improving the ‘Home’ Application UI

    Improving the ‘Home’ Application UI

    application has been reorganised to adopt a consistent approach across cBroker, structuring its elements into tabs that are familiar to users.

  • cBroker 8.9 Updates - February 2024 03 Feb

    Version 8.9 adds several major improvements to the **Dealing Settings** and **Dealing Blotter** applications by revising their UI and adding several quality-of-life features. The rules for sharing accounts with other users can now be set at the group level. The **General Settings** application (which was previously the **General** application) has been made similar to the GUI Settings application in terms of its structure. This release also adds the option to charge custom commissions when force opening positions. In the **Journal** application, you can generate reports that only contain information about your managers’ activities. In the **Deals**, **Orders**, and **Positions** applications, you can now filter data by asset class. Additionally, price filtering settings can be transferred between several symbols in the **Symbols** application. In the same application, the FIX API Access section has been hidden for all sub-accounts. The cBroker installer should now be more reliable and accessible regardless of the restrictions imposed by your network provider.

    cBroker

    Refactoring and UI Improvements in the ‘Dealing Settings’ and ‘Dealing Blotter’ Applications

    Refactoring and UI Improvements in the ‘Dealing Settings’ and ‘Dealing Blotter’ Applications

    and Dealing Blotter applications have been revised to provide a smoother and quicker action flow for your dealing desk. You can now open the Dealing Settings application (including timeout settings) in a detached window directly from the Dealing Blotter application, which is crucial for reacting quickly to changing market conditions. The process for creating max auto execution size profiles has been changed to resemble the same process for group profiles. The settings of max auto execution size profiles can also be transferred from one profile to another, simplifying the management of complex dealing desks.


    Defining Shared Access Rules at the Group Level

    Defining Shared Access Rules at the Group Level

    Adding another tool for complying with various regulatory demands, version 8.9 allows for configuring the availability of shared access at the group level. You can enable shared access only for accounts that are subject to regulatory requirements that do not prevent account sharing and disable this feature for all other accounts. This change also entails that the shared access functionality, which has previously been only available in non-branded cTrader applications, can now be added to your branded cTrader apps. To request the implementation of shared access in your branded apps, please contact Spotware’s service assurance team.


    Revising the UI of General Settings

    Revising the UI of General Settings

    application (formerly known as the General application) has been revised to closely match the UI of the GUI Settings application. Now, all sub-sections are displayed as rows in the central grid. On selection, the settings related to the chosen sub-section are opened in the right-most column of the UI. This change makes managing general settings more convenient, particularly if you are used to the flow of the GUI Settings application.


    Charging Custom Commissions on Force Open

    Charging Custom Commissions on Force Open

    When force opening positions, you can now charge custom commissions rather than having to charge commissions according to the settings specified in the related commissions profile established at the group symbol level. As a result, you gain more control over trading conditions in the event you need to reopen a particular position. Note that if no custom commission is set during force open, the commission specified in the commission profile will apply to this action.


    Adding New Report Parameters to the ‘Journal’ Application

    Adding New Report Parameters to the ‘Journal’ Application

    application, you can now generate reports that only contain records about the actions performed by your managers. To do so, enable the ‘Only Manager Activity’ checkbox in the Account Activity tab and click on ‘Run Report’. Furthermore, the Journal application can now generate reports that contain data for more than one day. Note that you can only select a time period longer than one day if the ‘Only Manager Activity’ checkbox is enabled. You can use multi-day manager activity reports to optimise your risk management processes and fine-tune the delegation of access rights to various managers.


    Adding Filtering by Asset Class to Orders, Deals, and Positions

    Adding Filtering by Asset Class to Orders, Deals, and Positions

    , Orders, and Positions applications now have an additional ‘Asset Class’ filter option. Asset classes allow for grouping symbols by custom criteria (such as separating US indices from EU indices). As a result, you should now be able to filter order, deal, and position data by whatever custom classes you have created. This quality-of-life feature is particularly useful if you have several asset classes that you need to closely monitor.


    Transferring Price Filtering Settings

    Transferring Price Filtering Settings

    application, you can now transfer price filtering settings between two or more symbols. This makes it possible to quickly apply your preferred price filtering rules to a large number of symbols, which can be a useful tool for risk management.

The cBroker installer has also been made more accessible for locales in which network providers have previously imposed restrictions preventing users from opening this file.


  • cBroker 8.8 Updates - October 2023 07 Oct

    Version 8.8 adds a convenient means of viewing your next update date, simplifying operational planning. The **Accounts** application now allows for transferring essential settings between accounts which should facilitate the management of densely populated trading servers. In the same application, managers with sufficient permissions should now be able to withdraw funds from Copy sub-accounts regardless of their copying status. Adding one more Copy-related feature, the **Deals** application now contains the History per Strategy tab which can be used to generate deal reports on a per strategy basis. The **Symbols** application has also been improved so that it is possible to perform certain actions (updating and archiving symbols) in bulk.

    cBroker

    Displaying the Next Update Date

    Displaying the Next Update Date

    application now includes a new ‘Next Update’ section. In it, you should see the start and end times of the next update of cBroker and/or the cTrader backend. This information can be used to plan your operations around the times of brief service unavailability. As updates usually occur on the first Saturday following the release of US employment data, the section also includes a button leading to the official employment releases calendar. You can add this data to your calendar of choice so that you are fully prepared for future updates. In rare cases, updates may occur outside of the usual schedule. If this happens, the ‘Next Update’ section will still provide accurate and reliable information.


    Transferring Settings in the ‘Accounts’ Application

    Transferring Settings in the ‘Accounts’ Application

    application has been made to offer the ‘Transfer Settings’ functionality. After selecting an account in the central grid, you should see the new ‘Transfer Settings’ button to the right of the account number in the entity details column. Click on it, and you will be prompted to transfer several essential account settings (e.g., the group to which the selected account is attributed) to one or more accounts.


    Allowing for Withdrawing Funds From Sub-Accounts Regardless of Copying Status

    Allowing for Withdrawing Funds From Sub-Accounts Regardless of Copying Status

    Previously, it was only possible to withdraw funds from Copy sub-accounts if their copying status was set at ‘Stopped’. Starting from version 8.8, you will be able to withdraw money from sub-accounts even if these sub-accounts are actively investing in a strategy and their copying status is set to ‘Started’. This provides a valuable mechanism for managing Copy-related flows of funds.


    Deals Statistics per Strategy

    Deals Statistics per Strategy

    application now contains the History per Strategy tab. It provides several report parameters and UI filter options that you can use to attain fine-tuned reports about the deals generated by sub-accounts investing in various Copy strategies. The reports include detailed information about essential metrics including the total number of sub-accounts that have traded during the chosen report period, the total number of deals generated by these sub-accounts, and the total traded volume.


    Allowing for Updating Symbols in Bulk

    Allowing for Updating Symbols in Bulk

    application, it is now possible to upload locally stored .CSV and .XLSX files containing symbol settings. On a successful upload, all matching symbols that exist on your server will be updated to match the settings from the chosen file. To access this functionality, open the new ‘Bulk Actions’ menu (located to the left of the ‘New Symbol’ menu) and select ‘Update’. If matching symbols are not found or if the new settings fully match the existing symbol settings, the corresponding data will not be displayed in the upload window.


    Archiving Symbols in Bulk

    Archiving Symbols in Bulk

    application. However, it was only possible to perform this action for individual symbols. Starting from cBroker 8.8, you will be able to archive large numbers of symbols or even entire symbol categories. To access this functionality, open the ‘Bulk Actions’ menu in the Symbols application and select ‘Archive’.


    Changing the Logic of Configuring Popular Markets

    Changing the Logic of Configuring Popular Markets

    application, the ‘Display in Popular Markets’ flag has become the ‘Global Popular Markets’ flag. Its logic has also been changed: if this flag is enabled for a particular symbol, the symbol will be displayed in the ‘Popular Markets’ display in cTrader but only when the terminal is accessed from a country that is not included in any custom country sets in the ‘Popular Markets per Country’ section of the GUI Settings application. In the GUI Settings application itself, it is now impossible to configure the default watchlist for the ‘Popular Markets’ display.Email and in-app trade notifications are essential for accurate risk management. To simplify configuring notifications profiles (which determine when and how trade notifications are triggered), we have added the ‘Notification Profiles Settings’ button to the Trade Notifications application. Upon clicking on it, cBroker should open a new detached window displaying the Notifications Profile tab in the Group Profiles application.


    Adding the Option to Delete Assets in Bulk

    Adding the Option to Delete Assets in Bulk

    application now includes the ‘Bulk Delete’ button. Upon clicking on it, cBroker will prompt you to select the assets/asset classes that you would like to remove from your server. If it is impossible to delete an asset (e.g., if it is used in any symbol(s) as a base/quote asset), it will be greyed on in the ‘Bulk Delete Assets’ window.


    Skipping Empty Values When Performing Bulk Actions

    Skipping Empty Values When Performing Bulk Actions

    When performing bulk actions that involve uploading locally stored files (e.g., the new ‘Bulk Update’ action for symbols), you should be able to leave fields that you do not want to update empty in the files that you choose to upload. All relevant upload windows now include the ‘Skip Empty Values’ flag. If it is enabled, and you upload a file with one or more empty fields, cBroker will not raise any conflicts and, instead, will retain the corresponding existing settings of the matching entities. As a result, the process of creating the files necessary for bulk actions and successfully uploading them is made much quicker.


    Uploading .XLSX Files in All Major Uploading Features

    Uploading .XLSX Files in All Major Uploading Features

    In past versions of cBroker, several major uploading features (e.g., mass importing symbols) differed in their behaviours in that some of them allowed for uploading both .CSV and .XLSX files while others only accepted .CSV files. With this new release, all important uploading features have been changed to process both .CSV and .XLSX files. If you prefer working with .XLSX, there is no longer a need to keep separate .CSV files just for cBroker.


    Increasing the Accuracy of Exposure per Symbol Reporting

    Increasing the Accuracy of Exposure per Symbol Reporting

    When performing bulk actions that involve uploading locally stored files (e.g., the new ‘Bulk Update’ action for symbols), you should be able to leave fields that you do not want to update empty in the files that you choose to upload. All relevant upload windows now include the ‘Skip Empty Values’ flag. If it is enabled, and you upload a file with one or more empty fields, cBroker will not raise any conflicts and, instead, will retain the corresponding existing settings of the matching entities. As a result, the process of creating the files necessary for bulk actions and successfully uploading them is made much quicker.


    STransferring Accounts Between DD and NDD Groups

    STransferring Accounts Between DD and NDD Groups

    application, select an account that you would like to transfer and then click on the ‘Change Group’ button to the right of the ‘Group’ field in the entity details column.

    Improved Navigation in the cBroker User Guide

    application includes several new options for convenient navigation. Using dedicated buttons, you can now go back/forward between previously and currently open pages or go back to the user guide home page. Alternatively, you can use standard browser shortcuts (such as ‘Alt + ←’) to access the same functionality. Last but not least, you can search the contents of the currently open page by pressing ‘Ctrl + F’.


    New Counters in the Deals Application

    New Counters in the Deals Application

    application, the History per Account, History per Symbol and History per Channel now include entity counters in their footers. These counters summarise the number of rows in their respective grids. This UI improvement makes it easier to track the total number of accounts/symbols/channels/partners for which deals are generated.


    New Column in the Symbols Grid

    New Column in the Symbols Grid

    application now contains the ‘Subscribed for Quotes’ column (note that it is hidden by default). The column shows whether a given symbol can receive new quotes from your LP. You can use it to easily filter symbols that are currently subscribed/unsubscribed to/from quotes.


  • cBroker 8.7 Updates - August 2023 05 Aug

    Version 8.7 simplifies the management of Copy strategies that originated on your server or that traders from your server are invested in; these strategies are displayed in the new Strategies application. In this application, you can make informed decisions about blacklisting various strategies for certain White Labels. The strict requirements for the order of columns in the .CSV files uploaded into cBroker have been lifted, allowing for a greater degree of freedom when uploading new settings or server entities. When generating reports in the Deals application, you can now import the names of specific groups and cBroker will run reports about the accounts belonging to these groups.

    cBroker

    Easy Management of Copy Strategies

    Easy Management of Copy Strategies

    app (previously known as the Strategy Providers app) displays information about all Copy strategies whose providers are from your trading server as well as the strategies that have been followed by investors from your server. In this application, you can filter strategies using several newly-added options such as filtering out all blacklisted strategies. When a strategy is selected, you should see detailed statistics for all sub-accounts to which you have access including how much funds they have invested into the strategy and their current equity and P&L rates. As a result, you can make informed decisions about whether or not certain strategies should be blacklisted for various White Labels.


    Removing Strict Requirements for the Order of Columns in Uploaded Files

    Removing Strict Requirements for the Order of Columns in Uploaded Files

    Previously, you could only upload .CSV files into cBroker if the order of columns in these files conformed to narrowly-defined requirements. This restriction has been removed, meaning that you can now upload .CSV files in which columns are listed in any order, provided that these files still contain all the required columns. This improvement greatly simplifies the creation of all server entities for which there is a mass import option (or similar functionality). To save time, you can export entire grids containing already existing entities, modify them accordingly, convert them into .CSV and upload these files into cBroker.


    Importing Groups for Deal Reporting

    Importing Groups for Deal Reporting

    application, you can now import .CSV files containing the names of several groups. Upon clicking on ‘Run Report’, cBroker will provide deal data for all accounts that belong to the specified groups and fit other reporting criteria. This feature can save time if you repeatedly deal generate reports for certain groups which is usually the case if you have many White Labels on your server.


    Allowing to Change the Total Margin Calculation Type After Account Creation

    Allowing to Change the Total Margin Calculation Type After Account Creation

    To extract additional value and manage risks, you can now change the total margin calculation strategies of different accounts after account creation. Note that this action cannot be performed if the account in question has open positions at the time when you want to perform the change. Furthermore, if the account that you would like to configure is a limited risk account and its limited risk margin calculation strategy is either ‘According to GSL’ or ‘According to GSL and Leverage’, you will also be unable to change the total margin calculation type.


    Adding the Option to Configure the Maintenance Margin

    Adding the Option to Configure the Maintenance Margin

    application. To perform this action, choose a symbol for which you offer the futures contract functionality, and type a suitable value into the new ‘Maintenance Margin’ field. Note that enabling maintenance margin will mean that used margin for positions involving futures contracts will always equal the position volume in lots multiplied by the specified maintenance margin.


    New Loading Bars for All Transfer Settings, Bulk Update and Mass Import Actions

    New Loading Bars for All Transfer Settings, Bulk Update and Mass Import Actions

    Whenever you transfer settings, bulk update certain server entities or create new entities using mass import, cBroker will display an informative circular progress indicator summarising the progress in completing the requested action. If any errors occur, the progress window will also display the exact number of settings and/or entities for which the requested action has not been completed due to exceptions. At the click of a button, you will be able to download these exceptions into a .CSV file, which should help with identifying the cause of errors.


    Quickly Configuring Notifications Profiles

    Quickly Configuring Notifications Profiles

    application. Upon clicking on it, cBroker should open a new detached window displaying the Notifications Profile tab in the Group Profiles application.


    New Column in the ‘History per Deal’ Tab

    Clarifications in the ‘Accounts’ Application

    application has been renamed to FIX Access. In this section, you can check the FIX API password for authenticating the currently chosen account and configure the availability of authentication using a correct FIX API password.

  • cBroker 8.6 Updates - June 2023 03 Jun

    Version 8.6 introduces the option of monitoring the status of your LP connections which is done in the Liquidity Feeds tab of the Liquidity Feeds application (previously known as the Feed Symbol Settings application). You can now enable/disable investments in certain strategies on a per-White Label basis, allowing you to safely manage flows of funds generated via the cTrader Copy service. Moreover, you can restrict certain managers from accessing sensitive symbol settings related to markups and pricing/trading feeds. The Transfer Settings Between Servers feature has been improved by making conflict resolution for absent LP feeds more transparent and easy to use.

    cBroker

    Monitoring the Status of Connections to LPs

    application is a renamed version of the Feed Symbol Settings application that includes several new features; chief among them is the ability to monitor the status of your connections to LPs in real time. The new Liquidity Feeds tab contains a list of all sessions you have opened to receive data from your LPs. The orange counter to the right of the Liquidity Feeds application in the application bar always shows the current number of non-established connections you have, allowing you to quickly react to any disruptions (the same information is shown in the Liquidity Feeds tab itself).


    Adding the Option to Enable/Disable Investments in Strategies

    Adding the Option to Enable/Disable Investments in Strategies

    app now includes the option to manage the ability to invest in strategies on a per-White Label basis.

After blacklisting a strategy, all accounts registered under the selected White Labels will not be able to start investing in it; similarly, already existing investors who choose to stop investing will not be able to invest again. Note that blacklisting does not prevent existing active investors from copying a strategy. However, these investors will not be able to deposit funds to their sub-accounts.


    Expanding Managers’ Access Rights

    Expanding Managers’ Access Rights

    application now includes the ‘Liquidity Feeds’ permission. This permission regulates whether a manager can access the Liquidity Feeds application and the Pricing Settings and Data section in the Symbols application.


    New Tab in the Accounts Application

    Amended Markups Upload Logic

    Amended Markups Upload Logic

    application has been made more clear and more transparent. If you attempt to upload an invalid file or if your file cannot be parsed, cBroker will now display an error message alerting you to the fact that your upload has been unsuccessful. cBroker now also correctly recognizes ‘true/false’ as valid values in the ‘Enabled’ column of any markup settings files you may be attempting to upload. Last but not least, the ‘Markup Type’ column in such files should now contain either ‘Points’ or ‘Percent’ in plain text.


    Modified Upload Flow in the Swaps and Dividends Application
