Indicator: Market State Pro by Firat Aslan

Market State Pro is a macro and intermarket HUD indicator that displays broader market context directly on your cTrader chart. It combines cross-asset flows, broker price action and Federal Reserve data in a compact dashboard.

Rather than providing simple buy or sell signals, it focuses on market regimes, USD pressure, liquidity, volatility and risk sentiment, helping traders view macro conditions from one screen.

🔎 Indicator functionality:
• Analyses cross-asset flows, market structure and USD pressure
• Detects risk-on and risk-off conditions alongside key market regimes
• Integrates FRED macro data, treasury yields and liquidity conditions
• Displays macro context in a compact HUD with automatic broker symbol detection
• Supports local price data mode without FRED

Market State Pro is especially useful for traders who follow macro, indices, gold or FX majors and want a quick view of the wider market environment without switching between multiple tools.

⭐️ Trader's feedback:

Market State Pro is one of the more advanced macro/intermarket HUD tools currently available for cTrader. After proper setup with a valid FRED API key and correct broker symbol mapping, the indicator delivers genuinely useful market-context analysis including USD pressure, liquidity conditions, yield curve behavior, volatility, and risk sentiment. A strong institutional-style dashboard for discretionary and macro-focused traders.

cBot: Lisa EURUSD Breakout

Lisa EURUSD Breakout is a session-breakout cBot built specifically for EURUSD in cTrader. It forms a session box and uses clear breakout logic to place pending stop orders above and below the selected range.

Instead of using grids, martingale logic or unclear recovery mechanics, the cBot follows a transparent session-based structure with defined entries, exits and risk controls.

🔎 cBot functionality:
• Builds a session box using Tokyo, London, New York, London–NY Overlap or custom times
• Places Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders around the session range with optional OCO cancellation
• Includes flexible SL/TP management, trailing stop, partial close and order expiry
• Adds risk controls such as daily loss/profit limits, max trades per day and max consecutive losses

Lisa EURUSD Breakout is especially useful for traders who prefer a structured and disciplined breakout framework. Its pending-order logic, OCO handling and risk controls make it a clean automated approach for testing EURUSD session breakout scenarios.

⭐️ Trader's feedback:

“Lisa EURUSD Breakout feels like a clean and disciplined session-breakout engine rather than a typical overhyped retail bot. The execution logic is transparent, the pending-order framework is implemented properly, and there are no dangerous martingale tricks hiding underneath. The edge itself is relatively narrow – which is normal for modern EURUSD breakout trading – but the system behaves professionally and honestly during runtime.”
