When MetaTrader at some point was banned from prop firms, Match-Trader appeared as a natural replacement. And it was a success.
Although MetaTrader is back to prop firms, Match-Trader kept its place and a lot of traders still use this platform to pass their challenges and trade their funded accounts.
Today, we’ll look into proprietary firms that have the Match-Trader platform available to trade and why it makes it a potential good solution.
Let’s start with the list.
Here’s the list of the forex prop firms that give you access to the MatchTrader platform:
Prop Firm | Profit Split | Cost | Max Balance | Rating | Review | Visit |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| up to 100% | from $119 | $2,500,000 | 4.8 | Read review | |
| up to 80% | from $99 | $6,400,000 | 4.7 | Read review | |

I understand it may not be easy to choose a prop firm. What may be a good one for a particular trader, may not meet the requirements for another trader.
One thing that can help you to choose is to compare the prop firms.
You can use this handy tool that I coded. Select the two firms you want to compare and check what they offer.
Match-Trader was built as a forex trading platform but gained a lot of popularity when it started to be used in the prop trading industry.
We can say it’s a MetaTrader competitor.
Match-Trader wins for its charts, using TradingView charts, modern architecture, and designed with mobile-first users in mind.
On the other hand, it lacks the huge library of third-party tools, indicators, and EAs that MetaTrader has.
It all starts with customization and branding. It’s easy for prop firms to customize the platform according to their branding and needs.
Probably that isn’t very important for you as a trader, so let’s move on.
Let’s talk about the technology. Match-Trader is a high-performance trading platform, with fast execution speed and flexibility. You don’t need multiple separate applications. It’s optimized for web, desktop, and mobile.
It’s also easy to use. This is particularly important if you are in a rush to start your prop firm challenge. The interface is highly intuitive and user-friendly.
It’s cheaper for brokers and prop firms. Although forex trading platforms are often “offered” to you at no cost, the prop firms must pay for them. We can consider that its cost is included in the evaluation’s price. Match-Trader has a competitive pricing model, making it accessible especially for smaller firms. This will result in lower costs for you when you buy the challenges.
Let’s talk about the advantages of using this platform for your challenge or funded account. This is what I like about Match-Trader:
