In the dynamic world of prop trading, seamless integration and instant access to information are crucial. Match-Trader’s Prop API is designed to revolutionise how brokers and Forex CRM providers interact with trading platform backends, offering unparalleled flexibility and efficiency.

How Prop API Works

Through collaboration with industry partners, we’ve identified a significant market trend: Forex CRM providers and brokers are increasingly seeking prop trading solutions that reduce development complexity and minimise resource investment. Many clients with existing CRM systems are now leveraging our Prop API backend to streamline essential functionalities.

The primary objective of creating Match-Trader’s Prop API is to provide prop clients with real-time notifications through our prop backend infrastructure. By offering a comprehensive stream of prop events, we aim to simplify the integration process, enabling clients to effortlessly collect the data needed to construct their own Prop Client Office. The API’s core value proposition is to centralise complex trading logic on our side. This includes critical calculations such as maximum loss thresholds, daily loss limits and account blocking mechanisms. As a result, clients can focus on presenting relevant information in their Client Offices, eliminating the need to interact directly with Rest endpoints in the Manager API as they currently do. This approach not only simplifies integration but also allows users to quickly expand their range of services without substantial technical overhead.

Benefits for Brokers and CRM Providers

Match-Trader’s Proprietary Trading API presents a robust solution for Forex CRM providers and brokers seeking to optimise their operational infrastructure. By offloading trading logic to our backend, clients can substantially mitigate development complexities and concentrate on enhancing their platforms. Real-time data streams provide instant insights without the need for continuous polling, ensuring users always have up-to-date account information. With fast and efficient integration, providers can easily add prop trading capabilities to their existing CRMs, broadening their service portfolio without requiring extensive development.
