Project Description
Within two open cTrader Web tabs I need a small automation that constantly watches the “signal” tab, spots any fresh position—whether it flags a Buy or a Sell—and, within a couple of minutes at most, places the exact same order in the “execution” tab. The appearance of a position on the signal side is always accompanied by a distinctive keyword in the DOM; that keyword is the trigger you will hook into.
What matters to me is reliability and speed (a scan every few minutes is fine) and the ability to work with both buy and sell positions for any instrument that might appear, such as XAUUSD. I have no hard preference on tech, so feel free to craft it in Python with Selenium, in JavaScript with Playwright/Puppeteer, or any equivalent approach as long as it runs headlessly on Windows or Linux and copes gracefully with cTrader’s dynamic elements.
Deliverables
• A script or small service that:
– Detects the keyword for a new trade in the signal tab.
– Submits the mirrored order (quantity, direction, symbol) to the execution tab immediately afterward.
• Simple configuration file or inline variables for login credentials, polling interval, and default trade parameters.
• README with setup steps and a quick demo video or GIF showing the copier in action inside two live browser tabs.
Acceptance criteria
The order shown on the execution tab must match direction, symbol, and lot size of the source order, and the round-trip latency between signal appearance and new order creation must stay under the agreed polling window.
