Feature Request: cTrader & CFD Broker Integration with Cross-Trading and Micro-Lot Sizing

Overview

Requesting a native connection to cTrader (and general CFD broker endpoints) that enables cross-asset execution. This would allow traders to perform order flow analysis on centralized futures feeds (e.g., Rithmic, DxFeed, CQG) while executing corresponding trades on CFD platforms like cTrader (e.g., NAS100, US500, GER40).

Key Components

1. Native cTrader / CFD Connector

Integrate cTrader Open API (or cTID integration) directly into ATAS's connection list alongside existing futures and crypto feeds.

Allow ATAS to act as the primary execution frontend while routing orders to cTrader / CFD accounts.

2. Symbol Mapping / Cross-Trading Engine

Data Feed: CME Futures via Rithmic, DxFeed, or CQG (e.g., NQ, ES).

Execution Endpoint: cTrader CFD symbols (e.g., NAS100, US500, USTEC).

Enable one-click execution from ATAS charts/DOM (analyzing CME order flow/footprint) that immediately places the equivalent order on the connected CFD instrument.

3. Fractional & Micro-Lot Sizing Support (Down to 0.01 Lots)

CFD brokers allow precise risk management with flexible contract sizes starting from 0.01 lots.

ATAS UI Requirement: Ensure order entry modules, DOM, chart trading panels, and risk parameters allow entering fractional trade sizes (e.g., 0.01, 0.05, 0.10) rather than restricting inputs to integer contract amounts.

Why This Adds Value to ATAS

Expanded User Base: Many retail traders and prop firm account holders use cTrader due to lower leverage restrictions and competitive fees, but lack high-grade order flow and volume profile tools on cTrader's native charts.

Capital Efficiency: Traders can analyze pure institutional volume/footprint data on futures without needing the large capital/margin requirements of trading full CME contracts.

Flexible Risk Control: Supporting 0.01 lot increments makes professional order flow trading accessible to smaller account sizes and traders managing strict risk percentages on prop accounts.
