Spotware, the company behind leading trading platform cTrader, has announced the global availability of free trial prop accounts – a new account type designed to empower proprietary trading firms with branded, time-limited demo access for contests and lead conversion.
This new functionality is now available to all support firms using cTrader, marking another milestone in Spotware’s commitment to innovation for the prop trading ecosystem.
A new way to attract merchants
Free trial prop accounts allow proprietary companies to run free contests, tests and recruitment funnels in a controlled demo environment. The account type carries a separate FREE flag for transparency and tracking and automatically expires upon completion, helping companies maintain clean sales funnels and full compliance with internal policies.
Companies can provide free trial accounts prop directly via cTrader Admin or Manager API, with seamless integration across desktop, web and mobile platforms. Traders experience the full cTrader environment – advanced charting, risk management, order types and native algorithmic trading – without any entry fees or friction.
Driving growth through engagement
Free trials and trading contests have become a cornerstone of growth for support companies, offering marketers a low-risk entry point while helping companies identify and convert high-potential leads. With cTrader’s free trial accounts, companies can now replicate this model quickly and at scale, with their own branding and built-in reporting.
Ilia Iarovitcyn, Chief Executive Officer, at Spotware added,
“Free trial accounts give support firms a powerful new way to showcase their trading environment and lower the barrier to entry for prospective traders. It’s about creating more opportunities for firms to convert prospective clients into long-term clients by offering traders the full cTrader experience.”
Early adopters of the road lead
A number of industry leaders, including FTMO, Instant Funding, Vision Trade, have already adopted cTrader’s free trial accounts, using them to power free trials and contests that attract thousands of traders around the world.
Spotware said their early success highlights how free trial accounts can accelerate recruiting and conversion pipelines while delivering a premium trading experience.
