RizeTrade helps cTrader traders review what happened before and after the click, so a clean-looking execution history does not hide a trading process that became increasingly improvised.
01 — cTrader
The Trade Can Look Clean Even When the Process Was Not
A well-timed order can still come from a weak decision.
You may enter before the setup fully confirms, reduce a position because open P&L feels uncomfortable, change a stop because the trade is not behaving as expected, then add another confirmation to explain why staying in still makes sense.
Each action can look technically reasonable on its own. The problem appears when you review the sequence and realize the rules were changing as the trade developed.

See Every Decision on the Chart
RizeTrade lets you return to historical dates and view your buys and sells on the chart.
That makes it easier to ask whether your entry came from the setup you planned, whether the partial exit followed a rule, and whether the later adjustment was part of the original management plan or a reaction to price.
The chart gives you the context. Your journal preserves the reason.

Catch Rule Drift After Entry
Many traders focus heavily on entry quality and barely journal what happens after the position is open.
That misses where discipline often breaks down.
A trade may begin with a valid setup and then become a series of exceptions: a slightly wider stop, an early reduction, a second entry, a new reason to hold.
RizeTrade helps you compare your original plan with the actual decisions that followed.

Measure Process Consistency
Track setup, rules, emotions, stops, targets, size, and management decisions together. Over time, you can see whether certain situations produce more rule changes than others.
Maybe losses make you add more confirmation. Maybe open profit makes you exit too quickly. Maybe repeated adjustments happen most often when you entered before the setup was complete.
Those are process patterns, not platform problems.

Review Fewer Decisions More Carefully
A busy trade can generate so many small adjustments that none of them feels important enough to journal. That is exactly when the decision trail becomes useful.
Focus on the moments that changed the trade: the entry, the first stop change, the first partial exit, the first add, and the final exit. Those are the points where your original plan either stayed intact or started drifting. A concise record of those moments is usually more valuable than a long description of every candle.

Ask Trading Mentor AI
Use Trading Mentor AI to ask:
- Which trades had the most rule changes after entry?
- When do I exit winners early?
- What emotions appear before I move a stop?
- Which setups stay closest to the original plan?
cTrader can execute exactly what you tell it. RizeTrade helps you review whether what you told it still matched the plan.

How it works
Three steps, then the reviewing starts. No spreadsheet, no manual entry.
- 1
Bring your history in
Connect cTrader or upload a CSV export. Executions are matched into trades automatically — partial fills and multi-leg options included.
- 2
Tag what happened
Setup, emotion, rule followed, stop and target. A few fields per trade is enough to make the review meaningful later.
- 3
Review the patterns
Filter by any variable and compare. The reports show which setups pay, which habits cost, and whether you followed your own plan.
Questions
- Do you store my cTrader password?
- No. RizeTrade never stores broker credentials, and never places, modifies or touches an order in your account. The connection is read-only.
- How do I get my cTrader trades in?
- Connect the account for automatic sync, or export a CSV and upload it. Either way your existing history comes in on the first import, not just trades from today onward.
- Does it handle options and futures?
- Yes. Verticals, condors, butterflies and diagonals are grouped as single positions rather than loose legs, and expired contracts close themselves. Futures carry their own multipliers and tick sizes.
- What if I have years of history?
- Import it all. A longer record makes the reports more useful, because patterns in setups, times of day and rule-breaking only become visible across a large sample.
- Can I cancel?
- Yes, at any time. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can import your history and see your own numbers before committing.
Stop guessing. Review your trading.
Your cTrader history already contains evidence of what you do well and where your process breaks down. RizeTrade helps you see it.
