Spotware, the company behind the trading platform cTrader, has introduced free prop trial accounts for proprietary trading firms. The new account type provides time-limited demo access for competitions and lead conversion. The functionality is now available to all prop firms using cTrader.

Several firms, including FTMO, Instant Funding, and Vision Trade, have already adopted the new accounts. They use them to run competitions and trials for thousands of traders globally. Early feedback suggests the accounts can support recruitment and lead conversion while maintaining a standard trading experience.

cTrader Adds Time-Limited Prop Trial Accounts

Free prop trial accounts allow firms to run competitions, trials, and recruitment processes in a controlled demo environment. The accounts carry a “FREE” flag for transparency and expire automatically after the trial period. This helps firms maintain clean sales pipelines and comply with internal policies.

Accounts can be issued instantly through cTrader Admin or the Manager API. They are accessible on desktop, web, and mobile platforms. Traders have access to the full cTrader environment, including charting tools, risk management features, order types, and algorithmic trading, without any fees.

Demo Accounts Facilitate Recruitment, Lead Conversion

“Free prop trial accounts give prop firms a powerful new way to showcase their trading environment and lower the entry barrier for prospective traders,” Ilia Iarovitcyn, Chief Executive Officer, at Spotware commented on the launch.

Prop firms often use free trials and competitions to engage traders and identify potential leads. Spotware’s new account type allows firms to implement this model quickly and at scale, with their own branding and built-in reporting.
