Full MetaTrader 5 Integration for Prop Trading Backend
This update represents a significant advancement for the Match-Trader Prop Trading platform. We’ve achieved complete integration between our proprietary backend and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) via a dedicated connector and service framework. Prop firms can now link their prop trading programs directly to MT5, enabling multi-platform capabilities (MTR + MT5) and delivering a cohesive experience across both trading ecosystems.
The integration manages the full prop cycle on MT5 accounts: account creation and blocking, equity calculation, challenge and competition mechanics, trading restrictions, and violation monitoring – supported by real-time data alignment and operational consistency. The Match‑Trader interface has been refined to present MT5 prop accounts with live balance updates and complete challenge information, providing excellent transparency for brokers and traders.
Benefits:
- Prop firms: Direct MT5 prop challenge deployment and management connects your operation to MT5’s worldwide trader base, expanding market reach while giving traders the execution environment they prefer.
- Admins: Unified backend supports both MTR and MT5, with separate analytics, multi-currency capabilities, and effortless configuration for each trading system.
- Traders: Platform choice without sacrificing functionality ensures a uniform, transparent experience with real-time account information, challenge monitoring, and complete access to essential prop trading features – now supported on MT5 accounts.
- Future growth: Extensible architecture creates a foundation for further platform scaling and connectivity options, preparing the solution for changing market conditions and continued competitive edge.
Integration of Ondato as a New KYC Provider
Complete Ondato support as a Know Your Customer (KYC) solution is now implemented across both the CRM and Match-Trader platforms. Brokers can choose between multiple KYC providers – Ondato and SumSub – directly from their configuration panel, providing enhanced flexibility and authority over compliance workflows. Improved onboarding and verification sequences accommodate Ondato’s requirements, including a dedicated verification button and adaptive configuration features. These improvements simplify KYC administration for brokers while guaranteeing a smooth verification experience for end users.
Benefits:
- Strategic optionality: Brokers’ ability to choose between Ondato and SumSub as KYC solutions enables customized compliance approaches aligned with specific business objectives.
- Reduced complexity: Easier configuration and validation workflows minimize administrative burden and technical complexity.
- Clear verification path: A more intuitive, understandable verification process provides traders with clear instructions and immediate access to provider-specific sequences.
- Operational adaptability: Enhanced flexibility enables adjustment of KYC workflows to regulatory or commercial requirements, removing technical obstacles for prop firms and partners.
Split Payment for Each Challenge Phase
A dynamic, stage-specific payment framework for prop trading challenges has replaced the earlier model. Prop firms can now establish individual pricing for each challenge stage, supporting installment payments and allowing traders to pay only for the stages they access. This adaptable structure aligns with market developments and creates a more appealing, competitive offering. We’ve also refined the processing of promo codes, affiliate rewards, and add-ons, ensuring precise calculations and a smooth user experience throughout all challenge stages.
Benefits:
- Trader acquisition: Prop firms can draw and keep more traders by offering adaptable, phase-based payment options.
- Lower upfront cost: Traders minimize upfront investment and pay exclusively for stages they advance through.
- Payment accuracy: Affiliate partners and referrers receive awards based on actual payments, improving clarity and motivation.
- Administrative control: Admins gain finer control over challenge setup and fee management.
- Market alignment: The platform stays competitive with sector benchmarks, facilitating business expansion.
New Add-Ons
Max Daily Profit Increase Add-On
A specialized add-on enables brokers to provide elevated maximum daily profit limits for selected challenges. When activated, traders can expand their daily ceiling, providing additional capacity to target greater returns and more versatile trading strategies. This capability is adjustable per challenge and works with the current add-on management workflow.
Benefits:
- Competitive offering: Prop firms can distinguish their challenge selections by presenting improved profit opportunities.
- Trader strategic freedom: Traders can increase their daily profit limits to accommodate more ambitious trading methodologies.
- Tailored configuration: Challenge-specific configurations enable personalized offerings for varied client requirements.
Next Withdrawal Days Decrease Add-On
We’ve introduced an add-on that decreases the waiting period between withdrawals for funded accounts. Prop firms can now present traders with the ability to shorten the gap between withdrawal submissions, boosting flexibility and strengthening the appeal of funded challenges. The add-on is fully adjustable and allows withdrawal terms to be customized to client expectations.
Benefits:
- Faster payouts: Traders can obtain their earnings more quickly, boosting satisfaction and participation.
- Competitive advantage: Prop firms can offer premium withdrawal features that set their challenges apart from rivals.
- Settings management: Admins can establish withdrawal timing and specify add-on costs as required.
Data Export in Import-Ready Format for Accounts/Positions/Closed Trades in Manager 2.0
A new export function provides data from Accounts, Positions, and Closed Trades sections in a format immediately compatible with Manager 2.0’s import capabilities. Exported data requires zero adjustment before re-import, establishing an effortless process between data extraction and system modifications. This improvement removes formatting errors and speeds up operational workflows for admins managing extensive datasets, proving especially valuable during transitions, such as moving from white-label configurations to a server-based setup. Export capabilities are now accessible directly within each primary section to optimize data management and compliance tasks.
Benefits:
- Improved accuracy: Effortless data transfer between export and import functions eliminates manual reformatting, substantially decreasing processing time and minimizing human error.
- Information validation: Reinforced data reliability and consistency during bulk operations guarantee precision across large-scale account migrations and system enhancements.
- Operational efficiency: Accelerated processes enable quicker onboarding and modifications for trading accounts and positions.
Symbol Grouping: Customizable Groups and Advanced Filtering
A thorough symbol grouping capability updates Match-Trader Admin, fundamentally transforming how trading symbols are structured, managed, and used. Brokers can now configure symbol groups independently, minimizing dependence on manual support and accelerating routine operations. Creating, editing, and managing symbol frameworks is possible, substituting the conventional flat list with an intuitive hierarchy that supports volume operations and CSV-based import/export with group assignments.
Building on this foundation, advanced filtering and searching by symbol groups are now available across numerous platform areas, enabling targeted configuration and optimized processes in areas such as liquidity provider settings and price notifications. Automatic categorization keeps all symbols viewable and accessible, while group-based structure directly translates into operational gains and improved system oversight.
Benefits:
- Faster symbol administration: Swift, systematic instrument structuring saves time and boosts operational efficiency for administrators.
- Organized data workflows: Group-level import/export assignments align data administration with specific business frameworks.
- Expansion: Hierarchical grouping accommodates growth as the number of instruments increases.
- Decreased manual effort: Group-level filtering and targeted search reduce repetitive navigation and manual sorting.
Improved Network Reliability and Connectivity Transparency
The stability and transparency of network connectivity across Match-Trader Admin, Manager, and WL Manager applications have been significantly improved. Automatic connection loss identification initiates background reconnection attempts while maintaining active sessions, preventing unnecessary logouts during brief network disturbances. When reconnection proves unsuccessful, clear messaging guides users to verify their connection and log in again. A dynamic Wi-Fi icon has also been added to provide real-time visual feedback on connection quality and to display the current ping measurement. These safeguards keep users aware of their network condition, allowing them to continue working with confidence, even in unstable conditions.
Benefits:
- Interruption reduction: Automated reconnection processing preserves workflow continuity and prevents data loss from unexpected disconnections.
- User awareness: Users gain greater transparency and authority over their network status, with immediate visual feedback and clear notifications during connectivity problems.
- System reliability: Professional-grade network resilience decreases operational risk and strengthens trust in trading operations.
Account Rules Tab: Routing/Hedge/Abuse Rules in Trading Account Details
Trading account profiles now feature a dedicated Account Rules tab that brings together routing, hedge, and abuse rules into a single, comprehensive view. Managers access complete rule inventories, including type classifications, execution sequences, symbol patterns, liquidity provider assignments, and activation states – all supporting informed supervision and regulatory adherence. Access restrictions based on user roles ensure that only authorized team members can view sensitive configuration details, safeguarding critical operational data.
Benefits:
- Account visibility: Direct insight into the complete rule stack affecting each trading account removes guesswork and allows managers to understand order routing behavior and risk controls without ambiguity.
- Troubleshooting efficiency: Greater rule visibility supports faster problem identification and more productive account administration.
- Protection and compliance: Access permissions ensure that strategic configurations and sensitive operational logic are restricted to authorized users.
Exposure Rules: New Counting Mode by Lots (Prop Futures Support)
A new exposure calculation approach based on open-position lot counts complements the current notional value method. Designed specifically for Futures trading, this functionality addresses the challenges that arise when managing mixed contract specifications. Admins can configure exposure rules that seamlessly aggregate (e.g. Standard and Mini contract variants), enabling unified risk limits regardless of contract dimensions. The update also includes UI enhancements for clarity and a smooth migration of existing rules.
Benefits:
- Futures-focused precision: Accurate risk control is possible for portfolios containing multiple instruments with varying contract specifications by standardizing exposure limits based on lot counts rather than notional value alone.
- Flexible risk administration: Risk teams can select between two calculation approaches – lot-based or notional – choosing whichever metric aligns best with the specific asset category.
- Operational continuity: Simple migration guarantees continuity and reduces operational disruption.
“Accepted” Column Added to Terms and Conditions Subtab
The Terms and Conditions subtab has been updated to capture and display exact acceptance timestamps for each supplied consent. An “Accepted” column – which supports sorting – now records the precise date and time of agreement, making this information immediately available during client account reviews. This addition reinforces audit functions and supplies compliance teams with a confirmable consent chronology.
Benefits:
- Streamlined compliance: Timestamped consent records become instantly accessible, simplifying regulatory reporting requirements and due diligence reviews through verifiable acceptance records.
- Client support: Brokers gain clear insights into agreement status and timing, accelerating issue resolution.
- Audit integrity: Detailed audit trails build greater trust and accountability across all operational stakeholders.
Mobile: “Create Request Info” in Deposits and Withdrawals
Mobile Deposits and Withdrawals interfaces now display the “Create Request Info” section, aligning mobile functionality with desktop capabilities. Mobile users can now review complete request details directly on their devices, maintaining consistency and transparency across platforms. This modification enables brokers and support teams to manage financial requests with complete contextual information while working remotely.
Benefits:
- Mobile capability: Full request details become available on mobile devices, allowing brokers and support staff to respond to inquiries instantly without waiting for desktop access.
- Cross-platform consistency: Matching interfaces across desktop and mobile platforms reduces learning curves, eliminates user confusion, and streamlines support.
- Faster resolution: Access to the complete request context enables quicker resolution of deposit and withdrawal questions.
“Branch” Column Added to IB Requests Table
The IB Requests table now includes a “Branch” column, giving brokers and admins instant visibility into each request’s branch affiliations. Clickable branch names provide direct access to detailed branch profiles, while alphabetical sorting functionality enables efficient data organization. This improvement boosts operational performance and data navigation for teams handling IB requests.
Benefits:
- Request processing: Instant branch identification eliminates additional lookups, enabling brokers and admins to direct, prioritize, and process IB requests with complete context.
- Improved navigation: Better data organization accelerates request processing and enables more efficient follow-up activities.
- Performance tracking: Increased visibility enables more effective monitoring of branch-level performance metrics.
