cTrader and Traders United (TRU) forged an alliance to champion traders’ empowerment on September 10, 2025.
This partnership highlights the advocacy of both brands for traders’ empowerment through education, allowing them to make informed and sound financial decisions in their trading journey.
Why Empowerment Matters in Modern Trading
In today’s saturated and fast-moving financial markets, empowerment is just as vital as, if not more than, profitability.
Traders, new and experienced alike, are looking for platforms that do not just execute orders but also help them understand, trust, and control every aspect of their trading journey.
Traders’ empowerment refers to giving them the knowledge and necessary information to make informed decisions.
Empowerment in modern trading is about giving traders the right tools, knowledge, and visibility to navigate markets responsibly.
The partnership between cTrader and TRU embodies this aspect, ensuring that traders are always at the forefront of their efforts.
