Exclusive: Helio Completes Web and Mobile Broker Interfaces, Targets Q4 Client Trades

Helio completed web and mobile trading interfaces and expects the first client trades through them in the fourth quarter. The applications are not live yet, and brokers are evaluating both products, Ahmad Said, Founder & CEO of Fintake, told FinanceMagnates.com.

The interfaces add a customer-facing layer to the Helio backend introduced by Fintake in March. Published pricing begins at $2,950 a month, while implementation costs $6,500.

One unnamed broker already routes live client flow through the backend using its own front ends. A second relationship remains in pilot, but no broker has deployed Helio's new web or mobile applications to end clients.

Live Backend Client Remains Unnamed

This includes outcomes such as return above inflation as opposed to gauging performance against standardized benchmarks.Given the composition of multi-asset classes, they need to be dynamically Composed of varying asset classes, multi-asset is a blanket designation combining different classes such bonds, equities, cash equivalents, fixed income, and alternative investments.When compared to traditional balanced funds, multi-asset solutions differ because they target specific investment outcomes.

The broker operates the system under its own brand and interfaces.

"Their brand is the one clients see, not ours," Said explained.

Helio said the client requested confidentiality, and the two sides are discussing a joint announcement. An answer is expected by mid-September.

FinanceMagnates.com could not independently verify the live deployment or pilot. Helio did not disclose the brokers' names, jurisdictions, client numbers or trading volumes.

Web Interface Covers Basic and Advanced Order Flows

The web demo reviewed by FinanceMagnates.com included charts, positions, orders, market depth and an order ticket that can run in configurable workspaces.

For a first trade, a user selects a market, enters the size and reaches the order button without moving through separate screens. Take-profit and stop-loss controls are optional.

The order ticket displays leverage, required margin, estimated cost, tick value and the market movement needed to break even. The demo also showed margin use against available funds.

Users can open multiple chart panels, add indicators and work with a depth-of-market ladder. Position controls include protective orders, reversals and size increases.

Helio lists FX, stock CFDs, crypto derivatives and perpetual futures as supported markets. Prediction markets and spot crypto remain in development.

The product enters a category already occupied by MT5, cTrader, DXtrade and Match-Trader. Their commercial and integration models differ, but each combines trading interfaces with broker administration and multi-device access.

Mobile Product Uses a Browser-Based PWA

Helio's mobile interface is a progressive web application (PWA). It runs through a browser and can be added to a phone without an app-store download.

Helio says the PWA includes charting, market depth Market Depth Market Depth is a characteristic of a given market and its ability to handle large order sizes without materially affecting the price of the underlying asset or currency pair. Broad-based definitions of market depth characterize it as a function of liquidity and trading volume.In its most simplistic sense, market depth reflects a real-time list displaying the quantity to be sold versus unit price. This in turn is organized by price level and is reflective of real-time market activity.

Helio also says layouts can synchronize between desktop and mobile devices.

FinanceMagnates.com reviewed the desktop terminal but did not test the mobile version.

"I expect first client trades in Q4," Said told FinanceMagnates.com. He did not provide a launch date because it will depend on a broker's rollout schedule.

Devexperts released a mobile web interface for DXtrade in July 2025, alongside its standalone applications. The webview format allows brokers to place the trading interface inside their own mobile products.

Spotware updated cTrader Mobile to version 5.4 in June 2025, adding time navigation, chart themes and automatic time-zone adjustments.

The TradingView Connection Is Built, but There Is No Badge

Helio has also clarified the unnamed integration discussed in March. Said confirmed that the connection was built and tested with TradingView for a broker served by both businesses.

TradingView did not operate a certification program for infrastructure providers when the work took place, according to Helio. The connection is onboarded through the client, so Helio does not hold a separate vendor approval badge.

The integration is ready to carry client flow when the common broker launches it, according to Said. Helio has not disclosed that launch date or the name of the client.

In March, Said told FinanceMagnates.com that the unnamed partner would be disclosed within weeks. "I was wrong on the timing," he said in the latest exchange.

Other technology providers use a similar broker-led route. Blueberry added direct TradingView access through DXtrade in June 2025, including access for smaller firms operating as its sub-brokers.

MT5 Alternatives Are Competing on the Whole Stack

The market Helio is entering is no longer a contest between trading screens alone. Vendors increasingly bundle liquidity connections, risk tools, broker administration, mobile access and third-party integrations around the execution engine.

MetaTrader 5 still ran on roughly 68% of global brokerages when FinanceMagnates.com profiled Helio in March. MT5 had also overtaken MT4 by trading volume on MetaQuotes platforms, according to FM Intelligence data cited in that article.

Match-Trader has been expanding from a smaller base. Its developer reported a 290% rise in server clients between January 2024 and August 2025, although it did not provide the absolute number in that announcement.

Spotware moved in the other direction, from a trading platform into standalone infrastructure. It launched cBridge in March 2026 with fixed pricing based on servers and connections instead of trading volume.

Helio combines a trading server, administration console, web and mobile interfaces and direct liquidity routing. Brokers can use the complete package or retain other interfaces and connectivity.

What the Full Stack Costs

The published pricing follows active accounts rather than trading volume. Helio's Launch plan costs $2,950 a month and includes 750 active accounts, one brand and two liquidity connections. Implementation costs $6,500.

The Growth tier costs $6,950 for 3,000 active accounts and four liquidity connections. Scale costs $14,950 for 10,000 accounts, three brands and unlimited liquidity connections.

An account counts as active if it executes a trade, makes a balance transaction or holds an open position during the month. Demo and inactive accounts are free, and Helio says it does not charge volume-based fees.

Native market-data sourcing and direct routing allow a new brokerage to connect to a prime broker, prime-of-prime or liquidity provider without first buying a separate bridge.

Said described the direct-routing option as a design choice and said Helio was not claiming to replace bridge providers. Established firms can keep existing bridge and venue relationships.

Price competition has already moved in the same direction. Leverate introduced a free entry tier in February 2026, while its paid plans also use live account counts instead of revenue or volume thresholds.

FinanceMagnates.com reported at the time that cTrader white-label packages started with a $5,000 setup fee and $2,000 monthly charge. Match-Trader started at $2,000 a month, while Soft-FX used separate implementation and subscription fees.

Helio's standard service-level commitments are 99.95% for Launch and Growth and 99.99% for Scale. According to Said, a 99.999% SLA is also available for enterprise deployments running active-active across multiple regions.

Annual payment reduces the subscription by 10%, and Helio says annual price increases are capped at inflation plus 3%.

Helio plans to demonstrate the interfaces at Forex Expo Dubai in September, Said told FinanceMagnates.com. It also expects to attend iFX EXPO Hong Kong in October, although that appearance has not yet been confirmed.
