CTP (Comprehensive Transaction Platform) is a highly popular gateway to Chinese futures markets, used by the vast majority of traders who trade Chinese futures instruments.
MAF Cloud allows you to link your CTP account, and hence easily capture (sync) the trades you conducted in CTP with the click of a button (without the hassle of uploading or keying in your trade data manually).
TABLE OF CONTENTS:
1. From the navigation sidebar on the left, click on 'Settings', followed by 'My Profile'. Next, click on the 'CTP Accounts' tab in the selection above.
2. Click on 'Add Record' to link a new CTP account into MAF Cloud.
Afterwards, an empty row will be created, where you may key in the details of your CTP account by double-clicking on a cell and entering the information.

If you wish to delete a CTP account from the table, simply click the 'Delete' button (represented by a 'bin' icon, located on the left in the table), followed by 'Yes, delete!' and the row will be deleted.
