cTrader has long supported automated trading. The traditional route usually starts with a bot, rules, settings and the work of deciding how that automation should operate.
That is useful for people who want to build or manage trading automation. It is a different job from simply wanting software to carry financial-market work for you.
What does no-code cTrader automation mean with Chilla?
You start with the goal, not code.
Tell Chilla what you want in ordinary language. When the job needs a cTrader account, connect one. Chilla handles the machinery, brings you the decisions that actually need you, then gets to work and reports back.
You do not need to write a cBot or maintain trading code to use Chilla.
Do I need to connect another AI app to cTrader first?
No. cTrader now supports ways to connect external AI assistants and agents, which can be useful if that is the setup you want.
Chilla is a different product relationship. You use Chilla directly as the financial worker, then connect your cTrader trading account when the work needs one. You do not need to choose a separate general AI assistant first and assemble the experience around it.
If you specifically want the bring-your-own-AI model, see how that differs from using Chilla.
Do I still choose how Chilla works?
Yes. No-code does not mean no control.
When a style, trading account or market choice is material to the work, Chilla can simplify the available options and explain them in plain language. You choose what to run.
Chilla can then carry the ongoing work inside the boundaries you approved without turning every individual market action into another manual setup step.
Can I use my existing cTrader trading account?
Bring the cTrader account you already use. Chilla can check how to connect it and help you through setup. Your money stays with your provider.
What if I do not know how to connect or set up the account?
You do not have to figure out every provider screen yourself. Chilla can use its own computer to help set the account up and handle ordinary account work.
When a password, OTP/MFA, identity check, legal declaration, approval or money-moving step needs to be yours, Chilla hands that step back to you.
Is this the same as installing a trading bot?
No. A trading bot is usually a program built around predefined trading logic that someone installs, configures or maintains.
Chilla is a financial worker you talk to. You tell it what you are working towards, make the material choices that belong to you, and Chilla carries the market work you approve from there.
For the broader distinction, see AI trading agent vs trading bot.
Do I need a VPS or keep a trading computer running?
No. Chilla is hosted software, so your personal computer does not have to remain on just to keep authorized Chilla work running.
If you are comparing self-hosted automation with hosted software, see when automated trading needs a VPS.
Do I need to watch cTrader all day?
No. Chilla reports back in conversation. When you want more detail, ask Chilla for the decision report about what happened and why.
An active task also does not mean constant market activity. Chilla can stay out when conditions do not fit the way the authorized work is meant to run.
What happens after you activate?
You choose your trading account and approve the Plan before Chilla starts. Chilla works within the boundaries you approve, watches for the conditions that matter, and reports back on what it did.
The short version
Yes. You can automate cTrader work with Chilla without writing the bot yourself. Start with the goal, connect the account when the job needs it, and let Chilla carry the machinery.
Chilla works towards your goals in the financial markets and reports back.
