CMC Funded, the proprietary trading evaluation programme operated by FTSE 250-listed CMC Markets, has selected Match-Trader as its core trading platform. The decision pairs Match-Trade Technologies‘ technology infrastructure with CMC Markets’ market expertise to support CMC Funded’s entry into the challenge-based prop trading sector.

  • Platform Type: Progressive Web App (PWA) delivering a consistent experience across web, mobile, and desktop
  • Core Features: Challenge configuration, multi-phase evaluation workflows, trader monitoring, and real-time performance analytics
  • Customization: Full branding flexibility, configurable account size, leverage, trading periods, loss limits, and profit targets
  • Founded: CMC Markets was established in 1989; now operates in London, Sydney, Singapore, Canada, Dubai, and across Europe

Match-Trader’s architecture combines an intuitive interface for newer traders with advanced charting tools and analytical capabilities for experienced market participants. The platform operates as a Progressive Web App, eliminating the need for software installation while maintaining functionality across devices. CMC Funded will integrate artificial intelligence to track trades, orders, and executions in granular detail, providing traders with performance analytics beyond standard ratio calculations.

Match-Trader was a deliberate choice for our initial offering. We tested the platform extensively against our requirements for security, performance and functionality. The depth of prop trading experience behind the platform, combined with its integration capabilities, gave us the foundation to build the trading experience we wanted.

– Benjamin Charbonneau, CFA, Managing Director and Head of CMC Funded

The platform equips CMC Funded with operational tools to administer challenge stages, monitor trader activity across program phases, and manage real-time account performance visibility. A unified dashboard consolidates challenge administration, tournament tracking, affiliate-program management, and trader-performance oversight, with built-in analytics covering participation rates, challenge fees, payouts, and success metrics.

A successful trading platform must deliver a seamless trader experience without compromising the functionality expected by serious market participants. With Match-Trader, CMC Markets Funded gains a modern and flexible technology foundation that’s intuitive for traders, capable to run a challenge-based program end-to-end, and designed to scale as the firm’s prop offering evolves.
