Do you feel that new automated trading tools make it easier for you to manage investments?

Spotware Systems has launched a feature allowing brokers and proprietary trading firms to pre-install custom plugins for their clients. These tools now operate across cTrader Mobile, Web, Windows, and Mac applications.

Why it matters

The move leverages AI-assisted coding to help firms deploy proprietary tools without undergoing costly, complex platform integrations. By automating distribution, brokers can streamline their service offerings for traders globally.

The cTrader Store currently hosts 19 cross-platform plugins and 59 desktop-only tools, with Spotware taking a 30% commission on all paid products. These custom tools function independently of core platform releases.

The players

Spotware Systems

A Cyprus-based fintech company that provides the cTrader trading platform to brokers and proprietary trading firms.

MetaQuotes

The developer of the MetaTrader platform that previously enacted restrictions on access for proprietary trading firms.

The details

Firms can choose to automatically push specific tools to all client accounts or host them privately within the cTrader Store environment. This strategy facilitates quicker feature deployment across the 300 brokers and prop firms currently utilizing the Spotware ecosystem.

Timeline

  1. February 2024: MetaQuotes restricted prop firm access to MetaTrader.

  2. November 2024: Spotware introduced cTrader plugins.

  3. June 2025: Spotware added WebView plugins.

  4. October 8, 2026: Spotware announced automatic pre-installation for client tools.

The Tech Race

This rollout serves as a direct expansion of Spotware's capabilities following the February 2024 MetaQuotes restrictions on MetaTrader. It positions Spotware to capture market share by offering firms more flexibility in deploying proprietary trading software.

Traders using cTrader will see custom plugins and tools automatically appear in their accounts without needing manual installation. This integration improves workflow speed and removes technical hurdles for accessing specialized firm research or trading utilities.

The takeaway

Brokers are increasingly moving toward automated software distribution to remain competitive in a landscape marked by platform-access shifts. Traders benefit from this by receiving immediate access to professional-grade tools directly within their existing application interface.
