As it says here cBroker provides plenty of administrative tools. However there is no price injection, dealing desk, stop loss hunting and other dirty functionalities which are standard for other platforms.
Brokers can specify markups as well as configure commissions. Fortunately, there are many brokers that provide cTrader, so you can choose one that suits your trading system.

Dear Trader,
Almost all our trading servers located in London.
cTrader connects to a "New York" server when I login to my live account
cTrader shows proxy location, not trading server.
Can you confirm where the order server is located and provide an IP address to ping?
IP addresses of trading servers cannot be disclosed because of security reasons. We can recommend you to find VPS in London. You can check server latency inside application.

I was considering posting in the Suggestions forum /forum/suggestions All you need to add are the following methods to the cAlgo API:
BrokerInstance signIn(Username, Password, Server, Port); // Potentially can login to multiple [live and demo] brokers simultaneously but can start with just 1 brokerboolean signOut(BrokerInstance);
We are not going to provide such functionality in cAlgo.API.
boolean subscribe(Symbol); // No more "Attach to Chart" code smell
onTick(Tick, Symbol, BrokerInstance); // Can keep tick and symbol separate or just onTick(Tick) and provide Symbol inside Tick object
boolean unsubscribe(Symbol); // Might as well allow unsubscribe
MarketData.GetSeries automatically subscribes you to quotes for corresponding symbols. There is no need to subscribe and unsubscribe manually.

I am printing Symbol.Ask, Symbol.Bid and MarketSeries.Close.LastValue on every tick and noticed that MarketSeries.Close.LastValue and Symbol.Bid values are always same and also MarketSeries.TickVolume.LastValue is coming as some incremental values.
This should not be the case as this would mean that we always have bid side trades.
MarketSeries.Close is built based on bid prices only.
And also MarketSeries.TickVolume.LastValue doesn't seem to have the correct values.
MarketSeries.TickVolume shows number of bid changes for historical trendbars.
Does it help?

.Dear Trader,
Can cAlgo operate standalone to trade or does it require integration with cTrader?
cTrader is not required to run cAlgo.
Does cAlgo work in Wine?
No, cAlgo cannot be run under Wine.
What is cBot?
It is a .NET library packed to encrypted .algo file. cBot can be run in cTrader or cAlgo.
If you cannot use cAlgo/cTrader we can recommend you to check Spotware Connect: Open API. If you have any question regarding Open API, please contact connect@spotware.com.

Sample Martingale cBot with Quantity as a parameter:
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// This code is a cAlgo API sample.
//
// This cBot is intended to be used as a sample and does not guarantee any particular outcome or
// profit of any kind. Use it at your own risk
//
// The "Sample Martingale cBot" creates a random Sell or Buy order. If the Stop loss is hit, a new
// order of the same type (Buy / Sell) is created with double the Initial Volume amount. The cBot will
// continue to double the volume amount for all orders created until one of them hits the take Profit.
// After a Take Profit is hit, a new random Buy or Sell order is created with the Initial Volume amount.
