Marketing Team
CMC Funded has selected Match-Trader as the technology foundation supporting its entry into the prop trading market.
The decision brings together an arm of CMC Markets – the FTSE 250 company and global multi-asset financial services firm – and Match-Trade Technologies, whose Match-Trader platform has established itself as one of the leading technology solutions for brokers and prop firms worldwide.
CMC Funded draws on CMC Markets’ technology, market expertise and trader insight. It operates separately to CMC Markets and is not a regulated product or service provided by CMC Markets.
Why Match‑Trader Fits CMC Funded’s Prop Trading Strategy
As CMC Funded enters the prop trading market, its priority is to offer traders a modern, accessible, and professional trading environment while retaining the flexibility required for a challenge-based model.
Match-Trader combines an intuitive interface with the functionality expected by active traders. Built as a Progressive Web App (PWA), the platform delivers a consistent trading experience across web, mobile, and desktop – without requiring a traditional software installation.
The platform’s clear and responsive user interface makes essential trading functions easy to navigate, helping newer traders become familiar with the environment quickly. At the same time, advanced charting, analytical tools, and professional trading features give more experienced traders the depth they need to analyze markets, manage positions, and execute their strategies efficiently.
Benjamin Charbonneau, CFA, Managing Director and Head of CMC Funded, said:
“Match-Trader was a deliberate choice for our initial offering. We tested the platform extensively against our requirements for security, performance and functionality. The depth of prop trading experience behind the platform, combined with its integration capabilities, gave us the foundation to build the trading experience we wanted.
“We have combined that functionality with advanced AI integrations, tracking every trade, order and execution in granular detail. That puts meaningful insights at traders’ fingertips, with analytics that go well beyond standard ratios to help them understand their decisions, identify weaknesses and develop their edge.
“We are not here simply to sell challenges. We are genuinely looking for trading talent and equipping the next generation with the tools to develop it. CMC Funded brings the discipline, market expertise and standards associated with CMC Markets to a sector where trust needs to be earned. Our responsibility is to raise those standards through what we deliver, not just what we promise.”
Wide customization capabilities enable CMC Funded to deliver a trading experience under its own brand, aligning the platform’s interface with the brand’s look and feel. The ability to customize challenges according to traders’ preferences also creates additional opportunities to engage prospective traders, encourage participation, and introduce users to the firm’s challenge-based environment in a structured way.
Key Match-Trader Platform Capabilities for Prop Firms
Prop trading programs place distinct demands on technology. In addition to a high-quality trader experience, firms need tools to configure challenges, define trading conditions, monitor performance, and manage participants as they progress through evaluation stages.
Match-Trader provides a prop-focused technology environment that brings these capabilities together, supporting challenge configuration, multi-phase evaluation workflows, rule controls, trader monitoring, and program analytics.
“A successful trading platform must deliver a seamless trader experience without compromising the functionality expected by serious market participants,” said Serhii Poplavskyi, Head of Match-Trader platform at Match-Trade Technologies. “With Match-Trader, CMC Markets Funded gains a modern and flexible technology foundation that’s intuitive for traders, capable to run a challenge-based program end-to-end, and designed to scale as the firm’s prop offering evolves.”
The Match-Trader ecosystem enables CMC Funded to configure and manage key program parameters, including account size, leverage, trading periods, loss limits, and profit targets. It also supports the administration of challenge stages, monitoring of trader activity, and real-time visibility into account performance.
A unified operational workspace brings together challenge administration, tournaments, affiliate-program tracking, and trader-performance oversight. Built-in analytics provide visibility into participation, challenge fees, payouts, and success rates, helping the firm monitor program performance and make informed decisions as it develops its offering.
The Outcome
The cooperation with Match-Trade Technologies equips CMC Funded with the essentials to enter the prop trading market quickly and credibly: proven infrastructure, full operational control, and the flexibility to adapt and scale seamlessly. At the same time, it reinforces Match-Trader’s position as a technology platform trusted by both brokers and prop firms, including large-scale trading groups expanding into funded trading. For traders, the outcome is access to a challenge-based evaluation experience delivered under the CMC Funded brand, with program structure and monitoring supported directly within the trading platform.
