Spotware has launched cAntifraud, an AI-powered fraud detection solution that enables brokers and proprietary trading firms to identify coordinated trading activity across company boundaries. The product uses behavioural analysis combined with shared intelligence from participating firms to help risk teams detect patterns of abuse that may be invisible when reviewing a single company’s data alone.
- Target use cases: IB commission abuse, latency arbitrage, coordinated trading, multi-accounting, cross-broker hedging, copy trading abuse, and challenge farming
- Data sharing model: Encrypted and anonymised signals exchanged across the network; firms retain data control and cannot access client information from other participants
- Integration: Available as standalone product with universal API support for cTrader, other trading platforms, liquidity bridges, and CRMs; included at no additional cost for cBridge clients
- Monitoring timeline: Evaluates risk signals during onboarding and KYC checks, then continues monitoring throughout the trading lifecycle
Trading abuse doesn’t stop at the boundaries of a single firm, but that’s often where a risk team’s visibility ends. It’s difficult to recognise suspicious patterns when you’re only seeing part of the picture.
– Pavel Demin, General Manager of cAntifraud, Spotware
The solution addresses a persistent operational challenge: potential abuse often surfaces during payout reviews, forcing risk teams to investigate while clients await fund transfers. cAntifraud shifts detection earlier by evaluating risk signals during onboarding and continuously monitoring trading patterns, execution timing, and account relationships. The system prioritises investigations by estimated financial impact, combining trader risk evaluation with payout exposure.
Spotware emphasises that cAntifraud provides evidence for human decision-making rather than automated enforcement. The system does not automatically block traders or approve payouts; final decisions remain with the firm. For prop firms, the platform flags potential rule violations during trading and addresses challenge farming and external hedging schemes. Legitimate, profitable trading is not flagged as suspicious activity.
