# Connect cTrader to your trading journal with Open API OAuth

Connect cTrader with one-click sign-in and view balance, equity, and deal-based daily P/L on /dashboard/ctrader.

## High-level steps

1. Sign in to TradeLogger and open /dashboard/ctrader.
2. Click Sign in with cTrader and approve access once in the browser.
3. Pick your trading account if you have several, and confirm metrics load.

TradeLogger handles the Open API app—you do not register at openapi.ctrader.com. cTrader sync is optional account context; keep screenshot journaling for setup and execution review.
