Barely a month after the landmark acquisition of OANDA by the Czech-based prop trading giant FTMO, the latter is boosting its prop trading business. The latest developments are a new prop trading community brand and a loyalty program, which signal the independence of the prop trading business unit in OANDA's offerings.

“Tie that in with a full-fledge store so their users can redeem discount coupons using their hard-earned coins, and man, it's an absolute beauty,” he added.
