CONNECTED JOURNALING

Keep Trading Records Moving Into Your Journal.

Connect the account you want to review, receive completed trading records and keep control of execution in cTrader.

Authorise Through cTrader

Sign in on cTrader’s official authorisation page and approve the matching trading account. Grayrock does not ask you to enter your cTrader password into the journal.

Sync Without a Desktop Connector

After authorisation, synchronisation runs through Grayrock’s server. There is no Expert Advisor to install, and cTrader desktop does not need to remain open.

Keep Execution in cTrader

The connection provides read-only information for journaling and account monitoring. Grayrock cannot place, modify or close trades.

OFFICIAL AUTHORISATION

Connect the Account You Want to Review.

Start in Grayrock, approve read-only access through cTrader and return to check your first synchronisation.

1. Add Your Broker Account

Select cTrader in Grayrock’s Broker accounts and enter the broker name and exact trading account number.

2. Choose Connect Securely

Open Connections and find the matching cTrader account. Continue to cTrader’s official authorisation page.

3. Approve the Matching Account

Review the requested access and select the trading account that matches the one saved in Grayrock.

4. Confirm the First Sync

Return to Grayrock, choose Sync now and check the connection status and last-sync time. Compare a completed trade with its broker record.

Automatic Sync must be available on your Grayrock account.

FROM BROKER HISTORY TO JOURNAL

Bring Completed Trades Into Your Review Process.

Synchronise completed cTrader trades with their available execution details and trading costs. Review the resulting journal records, then add your own classifications and context.

Review symbols, direction, entry and exit details, and recorded quantities.

See available Gross P/L, commission, swap and Net P/L.

Add strategies, sessions, tags, mistakes and notes for deeper review.

Available fields depend on the information supplied by the broker and platform. Classifications and review notes are journal context you add in Grayrock.

READ-ONLY ACCOUNT CONTEXT

Check the Connection and the Information It Reports.

Review recent synchronisation activity, reported open positions and available account snapshots from the Connections workspace.

See When Your Connection Last Updated.

Check connection status and last-sync times, then review recent synchronisation results. Activity entries distinguish received records from new or refreshed records.

A completed sync can report no new trades when the received records are already present.

Keep Reported Positions Within Reach.

Check open-position summaries from Dashboard or Market Intelligence. See the reported instrument, direction, quantity and floating P/L, then open the full positions view for additional details.

Open positions are read-only monitoring information. They enter journal performance only after closure and receipt as completed trades. Manage positions in cTrader.

Dashboard

Review open-position and account counts, total floating P/L and individual position summaries.

Market Intelligence

See reported positions alongside market reference prices and news.

Connections

Open the detailed positions view and check the available information and last-seen time.

Keep Account Snapshots Within Reach.

View the balance, equity and available margin information reported for your connected account. Use the update time to judge the freshness of the snapshot.

Use cTrader or your broker platform for immediate position-management and margin decisions.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

About cTrader Sync

Understand authorisation, synchronisation and the difference between account monitoring and completed journal records.

Need More Help?

How do I connect cTrader to Grayrock?

Add the cTrader broker account in Grayrock, open Connections and choose Connect securely. Complete the official cTrader authorisation flow, select the matching account and return to Grayrock to check the first sync.

Do I need to keep cTrader desktop open?

No. After authorisation, cTrader synchronisation runs through Grayrock’s server. You do not need to leave cTrader desktop or the authorisation page open.

Do I need to install an Expert Advisor or connector?

No. cTrader uses its official authorisation flow. There is no MetaTrader-style connector installation, MetaEditor compilation or WebRequest configuration.

Does Grayrock receive my cTrader password?

You sign in through cTrader’s official authorisation page. Grayrock does not ask you to enter your cTrader password into the journal.

Can Grayrock place, change or close trades?

No. The connection is read-only. Order placement, position changes and trade closure remain in your broker platform.

Do open positions affect my journal performance?

Not while they remain open. They are displayed for read-only monitoring and enter journal performance only after closure and receipt as completed trades.

What if I have already imported some of the same trades?

Grayrock uses duplicate protection to reconcile broker identity and matching execution details when previously imported trades arrive through synchronisation. Check the first sync against your existing records, especially if earlier imports contain incomplete details.

How often does cTrader Sync update?

Grayrock synchronises automatically through its server. Check Last sync and recent activity to see when your connection updated, or use Sync now to request an update. Reported account information should not be treated as an execution-price feed.

What happens if I disconnect?

Future synchronisation stops. Trades already recorded in your journal remain available for review.

Is cTrader Sync included in every plan?

Access depends on whether Automatic Sync is included and enabled for your Grayrock account. Check the current plan comparison for availability.
