The problem
Why cTrader traders need a dedicated journal
cTrader is built for execution — fast fills, Level II depth of market, and cBots that run your strategy automatically. What it doesn't give you is a record of the decisions behind your trades. You can see that you gave back 5% last month, but not why: revenge trading after a stop-out? Overriding a cBot mid-trade? Scalping the open in a bad headspace?
A dedicated journal connects the data from your cTrader account with the psychology behind each trade — and separates your manual results from your cBot results. That combination is what turns a good platform into consistent performance.
cTrader alone
- Trade history without context
- No emotional tracking
- Manual and cBot trades blurred together
- No improvement feedback
cTrader + Plancana
- Auto-synced trades with psychology tags

What you get
Everything a cTrader trader needs in one journal
Automatic Trade Import
Every position from your cTrader account flows in automatically — manual entries and cBot executions alike. No CSV exports, no copy-paste, no manual logging unless you want it.
Psychology Tracking for Every Trade
Log your emotional state, confidence level, and rule compliance next to each cTrader trade. Discover whether your discipline slips after a stop-out or when you override your own plan.
AI Mentor After Every Session
Plancana's AI reads your cTrader trade data and emotional patterns together, then delivers personalised coaching you won't get from a depth-of-market ladder or an equity curve.
Manual vs cBot Analytics
Win rate, average R:R, drawdown, and best time-of-day at a glance — with the option to split manual trades from cBot results so you know which edge is actually paying off.
Daily workflow

Weekly review
The AI mentor surfaces your emotional patterns, your best setups, and whether your manual trades are really beating your cBots.
"I scalp indices on cTrader and run a couple of cBots on the side. I could never tell if my manual trades were actually adding anything. Plancana split them out for me — turns out my best month came from doing less. The psychology tags finally made my revenge trades obvious."

cTrader journal FAQ
Common questions about the cTrader connection
Does Plancana work as a cTrader journal?
Yes. Plancana offers native, automatic sync for the cTrader platform. Connect your account once with a read-only link and your full trade history — plus every new position — is journaled automatically. It is one of the few mobile trading journals built to support cTrader directly, not just MetaTrader.
Which cTrader brokers are supported?
Plancana connects to accounts on the standard cTrader platform, so the major cTrader brokers — including IC Markets, Pepperstone, and FxPro — are all supported. If you trade cTrader with a regulated broker, your account will almost certainly work.
Does it journal both manual and cBot (automated) trades?
Yes — and this is where a dedicated cTrader journal really earns its place. Plancana imports manual trades and cBot executions together, and lets you tag 'Manual' vs 'Algo' so you can compare them side by side. Many traders discover their manual 'interventions' on an otherwise profitable cBot are quietly draining its expectancy.
Is my cTrader account safe to connect?
Plancana uses a read-only connection. It can see your trade history to journal it, but it can never open, modify, or close trades, and it never needs withdrawal access. Your funds stay exactly where they are.
How often does Plancana sync from cTrader?
Sync runs automatically in the background. Newly closed positions usually appear in your Plancana journal within minutes, and you can trigger a manual refresh at any time from the Integrations screen.
What trade data is imported from cTrader?
Plancana imports the symbol, direction (buy/sell), entry and exit prices, open and close times, volume, profit/loss, commission, and swap for every position. All of your historical closed trades are imported on first connection too.
Is there a free cTrader journal option?
Yes. Plancana is free to download on iOS and Android, and you can journal your cTrader trades manually at no cost — no credit card. Automatic cTrader sync and the full AI Mentor are part of Premium (from $9.99/mo billed quarterly).
