Deriv cTrader
Yes, Deriv cTrader offers stop loss, take profit, pending orders, and other risk-management tools.
This depends on the margin required for each asset. You’ll be able to see the required margin for each asset before opening your position.
You don’t need separate login details for your Deriv cTrader account — it uses the same credentials as your main Deriv account.
To log in, simply:
- Go to the Deriv cTrader platform from your CFDs section or directly through your browser.
- Enter your Deriv account email and password.
- Once logged in, you’ll see your cTrader account ID displayed on your cTrader dashboard. You can also view your account ID anytime from the CFDs tab in your Deriv account.
Note: If you have multiple Deriv cTrader accounts, each account will have its own unique ID, but all share the same email and password for login.
Deriv cTrader uses your Deriv account credentials, so there’s no separate cTrader password to reset.
If you’ve forgotten your password or need to change it, you can do it in either of the following ways:
Option 1: Reset from the login page
- Go to the Deriv login page
- Select Forgot password?
- Enter your Deriv account email address.
- Follow the instructions in the password reset email to set a new password.
Option 2: Reset from your profile
- Log in to your Deriv account.
- Go to your Profile.
- Select Password.
- To confirm your identity, you’ll need to enter a one-time password (OTP) sent to your registered email.
- Once you have entered the correct OTP, you can enter a new password.
Once you’ve updated your Deriv account password, you can use the new password to log in to Deriv cTrader.
Once your Deriv cTrader account is activated, you can transfer funds directly from your Deriv Wallet.

You can create up to five Deriv cTrader accounts under a single Deriv profile.
Each account can be used independently, giving you flexibility to manage different strategies, assets, or risk levels.
You can also choose to make one of your cTrader accounts a strategy provider account if you want to offer copy-trading services. However, this change is permanent and cannot be reversed.
Keep in mind:
- An account cannot be both a strategy provider and a fee collection account.
- You’ll need to keep at least one account free from being a strategy provider to manage fee-based strategies.
You can manage up to five Deriv cTrader accounts, each linked to your Deriv login credentials. Here are some important things to know before creating or managing strategies on cTrader.
Login details
Use your Deriv account email and password to log in to cTrader. There’s no separate login or password for this platform.
Account limits
You can create up to five Deriv cTrader accounts. Any of these accounts can be made a strategy provider account, but once assigned, that change is permanent.
Strategy activity
If your strategy stays inactive for 30 days, it will be automatically deleted. You can create a new one on the same account at any time afterwards.
Fee settings
When setting up a strategy, you can impose fees for followers.
To do this, assign one of your existing accounts as an “Account for fees.” This account can handle multiple fee-based strategies.
- Free strategies do not need an Account for fees.
- Keep at least one account free from being a strategy provider so it can process fees.
Important note
An account cannot be both a strategy provider and a fee collection account. Maintaining at least one non-strategy account helps you manage fee-based strategies effectively.
