Prop firms that support Match-Trader
Verified July 20, 2026
7 of the 34 prop firms we track offer Match-Trader. Below: how the platform actually works, what it costs, whether you can automate on it, and which firms to look at.
Vendor
UpTrader / Match-Trade Technologies
Launched
2013
Asset classes
Forex, CFDs, Crypto
Automation
Partial / bridge required
Mobile
Native iOS and Android apps plus a browser-based WebTrader, both built to mirror the same account and layout without a separate install.
Cost model
White-labeled to brokers and prop firms at no direct trader-facing fee; cost is bundled into the firm's evaluation and funded-account pricing, similar to DXtrade and cTrader.
What Match-Trader actually is
Match-Trader (built by Match-Trade Technologies) has become one of the more common white-label alternatives to MetaTrader among newer or growth-focused prop firms, largely because it's cheaper and faster for a firm to license and customize than building a proprietary platform, while still giving traders a noticeably more modern interface than MT4. Like cTrader and DXtrade, Match-Trader is licensed to brokers and firms rather than sold to retail traders directly, so the fee traders actually pay is whatever the firm charges for its evaluation and funded-account plans — there's no separate Match-Trader subscription.
Its strongest selling points are speed of onboarding and social/copy-trading features: many Match-Trader implementations include built-in copy-trading tools that let traders follow or be followed by other accounts on the same broker instance, a feature that isn't native to MetaTrader without third-party plugins. The web and mobile clients share the same account state, so switching between a phone and a browser mid-session tends to feel more seamless than the equivalent MT4/MT5 experience.
The platform's clearest gap is algorithmic trading. Match-Trader has no MQL-style native scripting language of its own, so traders who want to run a custom automated strategy typically need a third-party bridge or the firm's own plugin partnerships rather than writing and deploying an EA directly inside the platform. For discretionary and copy-trading-oriented traders this rarely matters; for systematic traders evaluating a Match-Trader-only firm, it's worth confirming what automation options — if any — the firm has actually enabled before assuming EA-style automation will be possible.
Strengths
- + Has become a popular budget-friendly white-label choice for newer prop firms wanting an MT5 alternative
- + Fast, modern browser and mobile experience with minimal onboarding friction
- + Built-in copy-trading and social features on many implementations
Weaknesses
- − No native EA/scripting language of its own, so serious algo traders usually need a third-party bridge
- − Smaller brand recognition and community support base than MetaTrader or cTrader
- − Feature availability varies by firm since it's a white-labeled, configurable platform
Data feeds and connectivity
Liquidity and pricing come from whichever broker/prop firm has connected its own liquidity bridge behind Match-Trader, so execution quality is firm-specific rather than fixed by the platform vendor.
Automation and API access
Supports copy trading and some algorithmic plugin integrations through its partner ecosystem, but it does not have a native MQL-style scripting language of its own — automation typically comes via third-party bridges or the firm's own plugin choices.

Match-Trader FAQ
- Is Match-Trader the same as MetaTrader?
- No — despite the similar name, Match-Trader is a separate platform built by Match-Trade Technologies. It's a modern white-label alternative that many newer prop firms use instead of MT4/MT5, with its own interface, mobile apps and plugin ecosystem.
- Can I run Expert Advisors on Match-Trader?
- Not natively — Match-Trader doesn't have an MQL-style scripting language. Automated strategies typically require a third-party bridge or whatever algo/copy-trading plugins the specific prop firm has integrated.
- Does Match-Trader support copy trading?
- Yes, on most implementations — built-in copy-trading and social features are one of Match-Trader's core differentiators versus a standard MetaTrader setup, though exact functionality can vary by firm.
- Why would a prop firm choose Match-Trader over MT5?
- Cost and customization for the firm, and a more modern interface for traders. Match-Trader is generally cheaper and faster for a firm to white-label and brand than building a proprietary platform, while giving traders a cleaner UI than MT4 without MetaTrader's licensing constraints.
