Custom trading & broker software development

It depends on scope more than anything else. A single component — a web trading terminal, a forex CRM, or an MT5 plugin — costs a fraction of a complete broker stack with apps, client portal, payments, and platform integrations. The other big drivers are how many trading platforms and payment providers you connect, your regulatory requirements, and whether you want a proprietary trade server. After a short discovery we give you a written estimate by phase, so you can launch the most valuable part first.

A focused component such as a web terminal, CRM, or liquidity bridge typically takes 2–4 months. A complete broker platform — terminal, mobile apps, client portal, CRM, payments, and platform integrations — is usually 4–8 months, with workstreams running in parallel. You get a realistic timeline after discovery, not before.

A white label is the fastest way to test a market, but you rent someone else's product: the same features as other brokers, licence fees that grow with you, and no ownership of the code. A custom platform takes months instead of weeks, but it is yours — your features, your brand, no per-account fees, and no vendor lock-in. A common middle path is a hybrid: keep MT5 or cTrader as the trading core and build a custom terminal, CRM, and back office around it.

Yes. We plan migrations so clients keep their accounts and history and your back office keeps working: account and group mapping, parallel running of old and new systems, and a cut-over plan agreed with your dealing desk. The same approach covers MT4 to MT5 and moves between trading platforms.

A forex broker typically runs a trading platform (MetaTrader 5, cTrader, DXtrade, Match-Trader, or a proprietary one), a liquidity bridge to its liquidity providers, a CRM with a client portal or trader's room, an IB portal, KYC/AML onboarding, payment service provider integrations, risk management for A-book and B-book flow, and regulatory reporting. We build each of these or integrate the ones you already have.

Yes. Most brokers start with one component that plugs into what they already run — a web terminal on top of their MT5 server, a CRM that syncs with cTrader, or a bridge to a new liquidity provider. We integrate through each platform's own APIs, so nothing you run today has to be replaced first.

A custom forex CRM with client portal, KYC onboarding, deposits and withdrawals, and an IB portal typically takes 2–4 months as a focused project, longer when it replaces an existing CRM and its data has to be migrated.

With the MetaTrader 5 Manager and Web APIs we build account and group management, automated deposits and withdrawals, real-time position and exposure sync, and reporting for your CRM and back office. Server plugins add logic inside MT5 itself — dynamic leverage, risk and dealing rules, bonuses, and copy trading — and the Gateway API connects MT5 to liquidity providers and custom price feeds.

In copy trading, followers keep their own accounts and a strategy provider's trades are mirrored into them proportionally. In a PAMM account, investors' funds are pooled and a manager trades on their behalf, with profit and loss allocated by each investor's share. In MAM, a manager trades one master account and the trades are allocated to separate investor accounts by lot or percentage rules. We build all three, including performance fees calculated on a high-water mark.

Yes. We build prop firm challenge platforms with a rule engine for daily drawdown, maximum loss, profit targets, and consistency rules, plus automated account provisioning, payouts, fraud checks, and support for more than one trading platform — which matters since MetaQuotes' 2024 licence actions pushed prop firms toward cTrader, DXtrade, Match-Trader, and TradeLocker.

Yes. AI connects through the same APIs as the rest of your stack: a support agent that reads the CRM, risk scoring on live trade events, fraud and AML monitoring on payments, or a trader assistant inside the terminal. Every AI feature runs with PII redaction, audit logs, and a human in the loop for compliance and money decisions, and models can run on your own servers.

We use Go for low-latency services such as gateways, price feeds, and trade servers; C++ for MetaTrader server plugins; Python for data, risk, and AI work; and TypeScript with React and Next.js for web terminals and portals, with React Native for mobile apps. Data lives in PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB for ticks and Redis for real-time state, connected over REST, WebSocket, and FIX.

Yes. We debug live trading platforms, including ones other teams built: rejected or stuck orders, MT5 plugin and Manager API failures, FIX session drops with liquidity providers, price spikes, terminal lag, and balances that don't reconcile between the CRM and the platform. Every engagement ends with a written root-cause report, the fix, and a test or monitor that keeps it fixed.

We integrate with MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 through the Manager and Web APIs and server plugins, with cTrader, DXtrade, and Match-Trader through their own APIs, and with liquidity providers over FIX. We also build proprietary trade servers for brokers who want to own their core.

You do. Source code, infrastructure, and intellectual property are transferred to your company. There is no licence fee per account and no lock-in to us as a vendor.

Yes. Besides fixed-scope projects, we provide a dedicated senior team — architect, engineers, QA, and DevOps — that works inside your repositories, tooling, and sprint rhythm, with documentation and handover built in from day one.

We stay on to operate and evolve the platform: monitoring, support, upgrades when trading platforms change their APIs, and new features as your volumes, regions, and products grow.

Yes. Audit trails, role-based access, encryption, incident logging, and reporting pipelines are designed in from the start. Jurisdiction rules — such as ESMA's retail leverage caps from 30:1 on major FX pairs down to 2:1 on crypto, the 50% margin close-out, and negative balance protection — are enforced per client group in the engine, while your compliance team stays in control of policy.
