The broker integrated the cTrader Copy widget to simplify access to its copy trading services.
It eliminates the need for a separate login to access the copy trading services.
IC Markets, a forex and contracts for differences (CFDs) broker, has simplified access to its copy trading service for clients by integrating the cTrader Copy widget into its client area. Announced today (Thursday), the integration will allow traders on IC Markets to copy trade without leaving the broker’s website.
Simplifying Access to Copy Trading
“Our goal has always been to offer our clients the most powerful and user-friendly trading solutions available,” said Andreas Papageorgiou, IC Markets’ Head of Engineering, on the integration of the cTrader Copy widget.
“It allows new traders to get involved with minimal friction, while our experienced users can expand their portfolio with just a few clicks. It’s all about enhancing engagement and improving outcomes.”
The announcement highlighted that simplifying copy trading access would boost trading volume, resulting in higher conversion rates, improved client area utility, and increased engagement and retention.
Due to the demand, brokers are also integrating or enhancing their existing copy trading services. Recently, Vantage, another CFDs broker, extended its copy trading feature to its client portal website, which was previously limited to its mobile application.

eToro, which made its name as a copy trading platform and has now transformed itself into a multi-asset broker, recently made its debut on Nasdaq with a bumper initial public offering.
Furthermore, Spotware Solutions, the developer of the cTrader platform, has also kept the integration of its Copy widget simple. Brokers wishing to integrate it on their platform need to activate the embedded cTrader Copy service, ensure their CRM supports user registration and authentication, and apply a simple redirect in the client area to enable SSO-based access.
“By embedding cTrader Copy into their client area, IC Markets is offering instant, transparent access to high-performing strategies without extra steps or logins,” said Ilia Iarovitcyn, CEO of Spotware. “It’s a huge win for trader engagement, onboarding simplicity, and overall platform efficiency.”

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
