Prop Firm
For Traders has integrated futures trading into its simulated trading platform
through a partnership with Devexperts’ DXtrade system, the companies announced today
(Thursday).

For Traders
is thus joining the ranks of challenge-based retail trading companies that are recently
expanding their existing services to include trading on regulated derivatives
markets.

For Traders Expands
Offering with Futures Trading via Devexperts Platform

The
addition of futures contracts expands For Traders’ existing portfolio of
assets, which already includes CFDs, spot trading, and swaps. Clients of the
simulated trading and evaluation firm will now have access to both Level 1 and
Level 2 US and European futures market data.

“This
is an important step for For Traders as we add futures trading capabilities to
our existing offering,” said Jakub Roz, CEO of For Traders.
“Simulated trading is becoming increasingly popular, and we are proud to
be at the forefront of this wave, offering traders everywhere an opportunity to
showcase their talent.”

The futures
market has emerged as a new trend in prop trading, observed since late 2024. As
exclusively reported by FinanceMagnates.com last week, FundedNext launched a
dedicated brand, FundedNext Futures, for this purpose.

For many
firms, this serves as a regulatory workaround to resume offering MetaTrader or
to operate in the USA. A similar move was recently made by FundingPips, which
launched FundingTicks, and FunderPro, which added futures access in November of
last year.

DXtrade Offering for Prop
Firms and Traders

The
integration allows traders to access the new futures functionality through the
For Traders X application, available on both web and mobile platforms. The
DXtrade-powered system includes trading journal for strategy management,
fractional trading and advanced charting tools.

Two months ago,
DXtrade expanded its offerings for brokers and prop firms by integrating
AI-powered tools for sales strategy and risk management, named AI BI.

For
simulated trading participants, the platform supports various order types
including stop market, stop limit, and trailing stop orders. The system also
enables real-time monitoring of trader performance and rule compliance, with
features like maximum account position limits and custom trading day schedules.

“We
see that simulated trading firms are increasingly looking beyond CFDs, with a
clear trend towards futures trading,” commented Jon Light, Head of OTC Platform
at Devexperts. “Adding futures trading technology to its offering will
undoubtedly serve to strengthen the For Traders brand, within what is an
increasingly competitive international market.”

The DXtrade
platform also allows For Traders to run challenge accounts and integrate with
their existing simulated trading CRM systems.

In August
of last year, Devexperts reported that its platform had gained significant
popularity among prop trading firms. Within a year, it added over 40
challenge-based trading companies to its list of partners.
