Live trading — cTrader bridge?

🔒 Execution layer is private. Exact entries, stops, targets and live positions are never published — subscribers receive the full research stack (strength matrix, best pairings, S&D + option zones, conviction scoring) and the verified journal of closed trades. Build your own execution inside the zones — that is the edge we sell, not copy-paste orders.
