Trading platform setup, administration and migration
Platform settings decide how every trade is priced, filled and charged. Wrong contract sizes, swaps or session times cost money quietly and create trader complaints loudly. We set platforms up correctly, keep them that way, and move firms between platforms without breaking accounts.
Platforms we work with
MT4 and MT5, Match-Trader, cTrader, DXtrade and TradeLocker, plus the liquidity bridges that connect them to the market and the CRMs around them.
Our founder has designed two trading platforms and owned every platform at a prop firm as Director of Risk and Platforms, so we know these systems from the configuration screen up.
Setup and administration
- Symbols and contract sizes, groups and leverage, spreads and commissions, swaps and rollover, session times, margin levels and order limits.
- Weekend, holiday and session-close handling, which is where many firms lose money or trigger unfair stop-outs.
- Day-to-day administration as part of a retainer: changes, new symbols, new groups and fixes, with a change log so you always know what changed and why.
Platform migrations
- Moving to a new platform or liquidity provider is where things break: symbol names differ, contract sizes do not match, swaps and leverage behave differently, and traders notice immediately.
- We build a full mapping between old and new, check it line by line, plan the account and balance migration, and run the cutover on a planned night with a rollback plan.
- Our team has migrated more than 200,000 accounts to a new platform in seven days with no downtime. Every migration is different and planned case by case.
What you get
- A clean, documented platform configuration
- A change log for every adjustment
- For migrations: a full symbol and contract-size mapping
- A cutover runbook with owners, times and rollback
- Post-cutover reconciliation of accounts and balances

Questions
Which trading platform is best for a prop firm?
There is no single best one. The right choice depends on your traders, budget, liquidity setup, payout model and how much control you need. We compare options against your business, not a feature checklist.
How long does a platform migration take?
It depends on account volume and complexity. Planning usually takes longer than the cutover itself. Our team has moved more than 200,000 accounts in seven days; each project is scoped individually.
Can you fix our existing MT5 or Match-Trader setup?
Yes. A configuration review is part of the diagnostic audit, and fixes are made with a change log and your approval.
Are you affiliated with the platform vendors?
No. Platform names are trademarks of their owners. We work independently across platforms.
