Prop Challenge Boost Add-On

We’ve developed a Challenge Boost add-on, enabling traders to dynamically increase their Max Loss and Max Daily Loss limits during prop trading challenges. Now, a critical moment pop-up alerts traders at loss threshold proximity, a dedicated informational interface outlines the add-on’s benefits and conditions, and a streamlined purchase section offers immediate access. The CRM features a comprehensive configuration tab, allowing brokers and prop firms to define, manage, and monitor Challenge Boost parameters for each challenge, including dynamic fee structures and CSV export of applied boosts. This prop infrastructure enhancement delivers bilateral value, expanding trader flexibility while centralizing broker oversight and control.

Benefits:

• Direct revenue stream: Monetizing risk tolerance through paid boosts creates a new source of income for brokers.
• Increased retention: Challenge boost availability prevents automatic disqualification at critical thresholds, extending the trader lifecycle on the platform.
• Automated upselling: The “critical moment” pop-up acts as a proactive sales tool, presenting solutions exactly when the user needs them.
• Operational oversight: The centralized CRM tab ensures full control over fee structures and easy reporting through CSV exports.

Self-Service Webhooks Management Interface

A new Webhooks management interface resides within the CRM’s API Access section, enabling brokers and partners to configure, test, and monitor real-time integrations for event-driven workflows. Authorized users can now independently create and manage webhook configurations, specifying trigger events and applying granular account or branch-level filters.

The interface incorporates built-in connectivity testing for immediate validation feedback and automatically deactivates failing webhooks, preserving system integrity. This self-service tool simplifies the integration of external systems – including marketing automation or reporting platforms – while ensuring transparent, controlled, and reliable data delivery.

Supported Event Types:

• Accounts and Trading: Account creation, updates and login events.
• Financial Operations: Deposits and withdrawals.
• Management and CRM: Manager assignments, tasks, notes, and their corresponding timeline events.

Benefits:

• Operational automation: Business processes are streamlined through instant, real-time notifications for critical platform events. 
• Targeted integrations: Granular filtering ensures external systems receive only the necessary data, enhancing both security and efficiency. 
• System reliability: Built-in testing and automatic error handling reduce integration downtime and manual troubleshooting.
• Enterprise credibility: Enterprise-grade webhooks infrastructure signals platform maturity and delivers scalable third-party connectivity.

Advanced Chart and Candle Customization 

We’ve introduced a full-spectrum visual customization suite, placing aesthetic control over the trading interface appearance directly in traders’ hands. Various interface elements – including backgrounds, grids, axes, crosshairs, and candlestick components – are now independently configurable in both color and visibility, with live preview and one-click reset to default functionality. Backend synchronization maintains consistent workspace configurations across all devices, ensuring seamless continuity whether traders operate from desktop or mobile platforms.

Benefits:

• Strategic value: Tailored visual interfaces reduce cognitive friction and enhance analytical precision during critical decision-making. 
• Multi-device consistency: Cloud-native settings eliminate the cost of switching devices between desktop and mobile.
• Reduced friction: Risk-free experimentation architecture encourages traders to identify their optimal visual setup. 

Percentage-Based Y-Axis Display

Traders can now visualize the Y-axis on charts as a percentage change from a base value, rather than absolute price. This relative movement framework fundamentally reframes market data interpretation: bid/ask spreads, take-profit levels, stop-loss parameters, and pending order positions now communicate in terms of relative momentum rather than nominal values. The calculation engine operates continuously with incoming market information, ensuring analytical relevance in real-time.

Benefits:

• Accelerated cognition: Relative price movement is easier to pattern-match, streamlining decision cycles.
• Cross-instrument analysis: Direct comparison across different instruments appeals to professional-grade user segments.
• Competitive signal: Improved analytical tooling elevates market positioning and attracts a broader audience.

New Area and Bar Chart Visualizations

We’ve expanded the platform’s toolkit with two additional chart visualization types – Area and Bar formats. These options provide traders with alternative market data analysis methods suited to distinct trading styles and preferences. The update ensures smooth transitions between chart types, maintaining performance integrity across all device categories.

Benefits:

• Analytical flexibility: Visualization diversity supports heterogeneous trading strategies and analytical approaches.
• Market attraction: Feature depth appeals to sophisticated user segments and professional trading operations.
• Broker differentiation: Expanded charting capabilities strengthen competitive positioning in broker evaluations.

Dynamic Widget Positioning in Fullscreen Chart Mode

The Quick Trade and Advanced Order widgets now feature enhanced repositioning capabilities within fullscreen chart mode, supporting both native and TradingView chart integrations. Widget positioning resets to default upon fullscreen exit or re-entry to maintain interface consistency, while the added visual drag indicator makes desktop manipulation intuitive. This upgrade enables traders to optimize workspace ergonomics according to individual workflow requirements.

Benefits:

• Execution optimization: Customizable workspace architecture improves execution efficiency and reduces operational friction.
• Professional signaling: Interface flexibility signals platform sophistication to power users and facilitates multitasking.
• Retention mechanics: Workspace customization drives client acquisition, habit formation, and long-term platform retention.

Horizontal Chart Screen View

Automatic horizontal chart mode activation is now supported upon device orientation change, allowing users to analyze charts more comfortably. This new feature ensures that the chart occupies a larger portion of the screen, maximizing screen utilization for immersive analytical experiences. The horizontal mode is activated automatically upon device rotation while vertical orientation automatically restores standard display mode without manual intervention.

Benefits:

• Spatial intelligence: Expanded screen space enhances pattern recognition and deepens chart analysis.

• Effortless adaptation: The intuitive orientation-based switch delivers a seamless user experience without explicit configuration.
• Mobile elevation: Mobile trading becomes more competitive with a modern, responsive charting interface.

Translation Mechanism (i18n) and Global Language Packages 

We’ve deployed a comprehensive translation engine, supporting dynamic language delivery across 15 languages: Arabic, Portuguese, Czech, German, Spanish, Persian, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Chinese.

Benefits:

• Global growth: Multi-language coverage directly expands addressable market segments and eliminates geographic barriers to entry. 
• Broker acceleration: Brokers gain operational capability to pursue international growth strategies without engineering dependencies or deployment complexity.

Max Trailing Drawdown for Prop Trading

The introduction of the Max Trailing Drawdown feature allows brokers to offer a dynamic drawdown management for prop trading challenges. Rather than enforcing static loss limits, the maximum allowable drawdown now adjusts in real time relative to the trader’s peak equity achievement. This performance-linked approach creates more compelling offerings for prop firms while aligning risk controls with actual trading performance. Automated calculation and reset logic during phase transitions and withdrawals remove manual oversight while maintaining complete transparency and fairness for both traders and brokers.

Benefits:

• Competitive differentiation: Dynamic risk parameters enable prop firms to differentiate their challenge offerings with advanced risk management options.
• Engagement amplification: Flexible, performance-based loss limits improve trader psychology, increasing engagement and challenge completion rates.
• Operational automation: Automated drawdown calculations and resets eliminate manual intervention requirements for brokers.

Consistency Rule for Profit Targets and Withdrawals

The Consistency Rule has been implemented across both demo and funded phases of prop trading challenges, introducing a new standard for evaluating trader performance and managing withdrawals. In the demo phase, the system recalculates profit targets based on a configurable consistency threshold, ensuring that only traders with sustained, consistent results can progress. In the funded phase, withdrawals are automatically blocked if a trader’s daily profits are not consistent with overall performance. Restoration occurs automatically once consistency criteria are satisfied. Brokers configure the consistency rule percentage for each challenge phase directly through the CRM, with real-time synchronization across all trading dashboards. This unified approach provides transparent oversight and enforces more rigorous challenge integrity conditions for all participants. 

Benefits:

• Risk mitigation: Precise control over challenge progression and payout eligibility reduces the risk of one-off high-profit trades distorting results.
• Performance clarity: Real-time feedback on consistency status ensures fair evaluation and clear withdrawal eligibility for all traders.
• Operational efficiency: Automated rule enforcement and recalculation minimize manual intervention for brokers and prop firms.
• Configurable standards: Adjustable consistency rules enhance the platform’s competitiveness by enabling tailored challenge requirements and transparent risk management.

Promo Code and Add-On Management for Existing Accounts 

Brokers can now assign or remove promo codes and add-on features for trading accounts in the post-creation, pre-payment state. This configuration flexibility enables targeted incentive deployment and feature adjustment prior to payment completion, with immediate synchronization across CRM and statistical dashboards. The update also ensures that affiliate and referral commissions are calculated correctly, contributing to stronger marketing and partnership strategies. 

Benefits:

• Conversion optimization: Offers and incentives can be tailored for traders before payment, increasing conversion rates.
• Campaign agility: Dynamic marketing campaigns and affiliate programs are supported with accurate commission tracking.
• Operational flexibility: Account features can be adjusted in response to trader needs.

Prop Withdrawals via CRM Bank Transfer Gateway 

Bank transfer processing has been integrated as a native CRM withdrawal method for funded prop accounts, complementing existing manual payout workflows. The system automatically calculates profit splits and updates account balances, creating a frictionless experience for both brokers and traders. This operational upgrade delivers dual value: expanded withdrawal optionality and reduced administrative overhead.

Benefits:

• Method plurality: Multiple withdrawal methods increase flexibility for brokers.
• Error elimination: Profit split calculations are automated, reducing manual workload and errors.
• Elevated trader experience: Faster, smoother payout options compound trust and satisfaction.

Equity Value Recorded Before Financial Operations 

The ledger system now records the equity value immediately preceding each financial operation – deposits, withdrawals, and credit adjustments. This creates complete audit trails supporting ROI analysis, performance attribution, and regulatory compliance requirements.

Benefits:

• Analytical precision: Precise historical equity data enables accurate performance attribution for brokers and analysts.
• Regulatory readiness: Accuracy in ROI calculations and financial audits is improved.
• Enhanced compliance: Transparent visibility into all account types and changes builds credibility.

Balance Push After Leverage Change on Trading Account 

A new mechanism automatically sends a balance update after leverage changes on trading accounts. This ensures margin calculations and displayed account balances remain accurate and up-to-date following any leverage adjustments. The automation prevents discrepancies and maintains information reliability across trader and broker touchpoints.

Benefits:

• Trust maintenance: Real-time balance accuracy stops trader and broker confusion, reducing support inquiry volume.
• Account clarity: Immediate updates improve transparency and trust in account information.
• Risk reduction: Accurate margin data mitigates unintended liquidation risk. 

Additional Validation to GTD Orders 

Good-Till-Date (GTD) orders now require additional validation and enforce temporal boundaries: maximum 100-day forward placement and minimum 10-second advance placement. This change protects brokers and traders from submitting erroneous or unintended orders, reduces operational risk, and aligns with industry best practices.

Benefits:

• Error prevention: Validation rules eliminate error vectors before order placements. 
• Reliability perception: Fewer invalid orders make the platform more professional and reliable.
• Regulatory foundation: Compliance with industry standards supports regulatory expectations. 

MIFID Request Management Module

A dedicated MIFID tab within the Actions group enables brokers to manage centralized regulatory requests from traders directly within the CRM. The module allows for manual acceptance or rejection, detailed request reviews, and role-based access controls.

Benefits: 

• Regulatory efficiency: All compliance workflows are centralized within the CRM, reducing context-switching and improving efficiency.
• Operational flexibility: Auto-accept configuration suits high-volume brokers with automated onboarding workflows.

Virtual Scroll for Money Manager Leaderboard 

To support growing communities, the Money Manager list within the Match-Trader UI now employs virtual scrolling technology. It significantly improves responsiveness by only rendering the elements currently visible on the screen. This ensures a lag-free experience, even when browsing through thousands of entries. 

Benefits:

• High-performance experience: Interface remains lag-free during scrolling, searching, and sorting.
• Business scaling: Frictionless scrolling allows brokers to host an unlimited number of Money Managers without degrading UI performance.
• Engagement depth: Smooth, efficient navigation encourages deeper exploration of the leaderboard.
