cTrader Read-Only Access: Statistics Links and OAuth
For read-only cTrader reporting, distinguish a public statistics link from an application authorised through cTrader Open API. Do not follow a MetaTrader investor-password tutorial as if it were the documented cTrader connection process.
MyVeridex does not currently offer a cTrader connection. This page explains the documented cTrader sharing routes and how to check their permissions, rather than directing you to an unavailable MyVeridex setup.
Choose the access you actually need
| Purpose | Documented route | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Let someone view account statistics | A cTrader Mobile Stats to share link. | This is a public viewing link. It is different from granting account trading rights. |
| Let a supported application read account data | cTrader Open API authorisation with the appropriate scope. | Review the application, selected accounts and requested permissions before consenting. |
| Satisfy identity or evaluation requirements | The account provider's own process. | A statistics page or application connection is not a substitute for identity checks, account rules or an audit. |
Share a statistics page in cTrader Mobile
The official Stats to share guide describes this route: open My cTrader, choose the account, select Stats to share and generate a link. Open the resulting page before sharing it so you can see which account details and history it exposes.
The guide explains that the link remains available until deleted through Stats to share. Deleting it invalidates copies already shared. Trading access rights are a separate feature. A public statistics link therefore should not be described as a private investor-password login or a grant of trading authority.
Check the intended audience and the information shown before publishing a link. Anyone who receives a public link may be able to pass it on. Removing access later does not retrieve screenshots or files another person has already saved.
Check an external application's OAuth request
The cTrader Open API authentication guide documents an OAuth authorisation flow for applications. The accounts scope permits account information and statistics without trading operations; trading also permits trading operations.
- Confirm that the reporting service actually supports cTrader and your intended account.
- Review the selected accounts and the actual consent request. The word analytics in a service name does not establish its permissions.
- Check what data is read, retained and displayed, and how access can be managed through the documented account controls.
- After an authorised connection, compare the account identity, dates and available records with the original account history. A successful consent screen alone does not establish a complete import.
This is not an instruction to grant trading rights. A reporting task should be evaluated against the access it requires. Read-only access still exposes account information, so it does not eliminate privacy or data-handling risks.
What a connected report establishes
A report can describe the account data actually received and the calculations performed on it. Record the provider, account type, date range, currency and any missing history. A demo account should remain labelled demo in any shared record.
Neither a viewing link nor an OAuth connection, by itself, proves identity, ownership of every decision, a complete historical equity path or future profitability. They do not make a report immutable or independently audited. Ask a recipient which original records and checks it requires instead of assuming that every prop firm demands the same external report.
Current MyVeridex availability
MyVeridex currently offers MT4 and MT5 account connections using a read-only investor password, plus supported MT4/MT5 closed-trade statement imports in HTML, XLSX and CSV formats. cTrader, DXtrade, Match-Trader and TradeLocker connections are not currently offered. A broker-directory entry does not override those platform limits.
Do not enter cTrader credentials into a MetaTrader form or rename an export to force an import. The documented cTrader routes above are separate from MyVeridex's current MetaTrader connection and statement-import features. For interpreting the account's statistics, see the cTrader analytics review workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Is a cTrader statistics link a MetaTrader investor-password login?
No. The documented Stats to share feature creates a public viewing link. cTrader Open API uses application authorisation and scopes. For an external application, review its documented authorisation route and actual permissions.
Can every cTrader Open API permission be treated as read-only?
No. The accounts scope permits account information and statistics without trading operations; the trading scope also permits trading. Inspect the actual request and selected accounts.
Does sharing account statistics verify identity or future profitability?
No. A viewing link or application connection does not replace identity checks, provider account rules or an independent audit, and it does not predict future results.
Can I use this route to connect cTrader to MyVeridex?
No. MyVeridex currently offers MT4 and MT5 connections and supported MT4/MT5 statement imports. It does not currently offer a cTrader connection. Do not enter cTrader credentials into a MetaTrader connection form.
