cMind for cTrader traders 📈
You already trade on cTrader. You already juggle a code editor, a backtester, a VPS, and three browser tabs. cMind collapses all of that into one dark, keyboard-friendly console you run yourself — and it's open source, so nothing about your edge, your strategies, or your credentials ever leaves your box.
Self-host cMind on a laptop, a cheap VPS, or a home server. Author, backtest, run, and monitor cBots in one place, with an AI core doing the chores. → Run it in 5 minutes
Why self-host instead of a hosted service?
- Own your stack and your data. Your cBots, credentials, tokens, and equity history live on your infrastructure — no third party, no lock-in, no "we're sunsetting this product" email.
- It's genuinely yours to change. C# 14 / .NET 10, strict DDD, EF Core + PostgreSQL, an MCP server — all open source and hackable. Fork it, extend it, send a PR.
- No per-feature paywall. Bring your own AI key for any provider; every AI feature is on.
Prefer not to run servers yourself? A hosting company can run a managed cMind for you — see For cloud & VPS providers.
One console, no tab-juggling
- Author in a real Monaco IDE (the VS Code editor), with C# and Python templates and
sandboxed
dotnet buildin throwaway containers. → Build & backtest - Backtest across a fleet of nodes and watch equity curves stream back live.
- Run strategies live and monitor them from one dashboard. → Dashboard
- Copy a master account onto many accounts across brokers and cTrader IDs, with reconciliation that survives dropped connections and rotating tokens. → Copy trading
AI that does chores, not small talk
Bring your own API key (any supported provider — cloud or a local model) and get plain-English → a real compiling cBot with a self-repair loop, parameter tuning, backtest post-mortems, and a risk guard that can auto-stop a misbehaving bot. → Meet the AI core
Institutional-grade tooling, for one
The same rigor a desk pays for, on your own box:
- Backtest integrity · Position sizing
- Strategy health · Regime lab
- Execution TCA · Trading journal
- Agent Studio · Contrarian positioning
Runs where you do
Start on your laptop with docker compose up, graduate to a cheap VPS or a home server when you're
ready, and check on your bots from your phone — cMind is an installable, mobile-first
PWA. → Run it locally
Want your AI client to drive it? There's a built-in MCP server.
Help make it better
cMind is open source and MIT-licensed — the roadmap is community-shaped:
- File issues and feature requests, and vote on what matters.
- Add cBot templates, AI provider adapters, or UI translations.
- Send PRs — three test tiers (unit + integration + E2E) and strict DDD keep the bar high, and the Contributing guide walks you through it.
