* Once you logged in to the cTrader paltform (web, desktop or mobile) you need to accept the License Agreement.
* After that, in the FundX platform in the connection manager, select cTrader Gateway connection with Demo or Real and press **"Connect"** button. An authorization form will appear, where you need to specify an email or cTrader ID, as well as a password. This is a standard OAUTH authorization where you can see the connection information. **Allow access** and start trading :)
