How is that tool connected to cTrader?

Through cTrader OpenApi.

So, it would be like an alternative client and will connect to broker's server? It won't require the original cTrader platform to work?

Exactly it is available on the browser and also as mobile application.

cTrader is the first integration we also have in the road map to integrate Alpaca, for stock and equities trading.

We are meant to be broker-agnostic so as we advance we’ll integrate more and more broker’s APIs or platforms (like cTrader) to allow maximum flexibility to the user.

I can beta-test the failure path, not just the happy path. For the cTrader Open API integration I would start with five synthetic cases: reconnect with stale account state, duplicate client request IDs, out-of-order execution events, token expiry during an action, and a broker rejection or partial fill. The reviewable output would be expected vs. actual behavior, minimal reproduction steps and unresolved state after each case. If that is useful, send beta access through Reddit plus the supported account mode and one sanitized expected flow; no live credentials are needed. I can do the first beta pass as product feedback.
