|---|---|
| What it is | A web-first forex and CFD platform from Match-Trade Technologies, offered by prop firms that want a platform without MetaQuotes licensing and with no residency restriction. |
| Prop firms on it | FundingPips, FundedNext (CFD), Alpha Capital Group, City Traders Imperium, Funded Trading Plus, Top One Futures |
| TradingView | Embeds TradingView’s charting library inside the platform; that is charts, not the TradingView alert system. Execution from TradingView alerts needs an external relay. |
| Bridges that connect | Firm-specific; Match-Trader exposes an API and some firms expose webhook endpoints, but there is no standard bridge — verify with the firm before buying for automation |
| Automation | No Expert Advisors. Automation, where a firm permits it, runs through the API or a third-party relay rather than inside the platform |
| Cost on a prop account | Included at the firms listed |
| Notable | The platform most often offered to US residents at CFD firms that cannot offer MT5 or cTrader there |
What this means for a systematic strategy
Match-Trader is the platform you get, not the one you choose: firms add it for residency coverage. For a systematic strategy that is a problem, because there is no EA layer and no mainstream bridge. Treat a Match-Trader-only account as discretionary or semi-automated unless the firm confirms a working webhook path.
Top One Futures lists Match-Trader as an option next to Tradovate and NinjaTrader; for a futures strategy the other two have working bridges, so pick them.

FAQ
Which prop firms use Match-Trader?
On the rules cards, verified September 2026: FundingPips, FundedNext (CFD), Alpha Capital Group, City Traders Imperium, Funded Trading Plus, Top One Futures.
Does Match-Trader support EAs or bots?
No Expert Advisors. Automation depends on the firm exposing an API or webhook path, which is not standard.
Is Match-Trader available to US traders?
That is why firms offer it: it carries none of the US distribution limits attached to MT5, so firms that restrict MT5 by country usually route US residents here or to cTrader. Confirm per firm.
Platform availability taken from each firm’s rules card, verified September 2026 against the firm’s program pages and current trackers; several cards carry a “verify with firm” note because firms change platforms with weeks of notice.
