c# developer here and just got started looking into cbot.

 

Am wondering whether cbot can run independently outside of ctrader, or is there a hard dependency so that cbots must be run within ctrader?

 

How about "open api"? What can it / cannot do compared to "cbot"?

Hi C# developer,

A cBot cannot run outside cTrader since it uses the cTrader Automate API, which is dependent to the desktop app. Open API is a lower level API that allows you to communicate to cTrader server. Open API is similar to the internal API cTrader apps use to communicate with their backends. You can use it to build your own trading apps on top. But you will need to build the entire client side from scratch.
