IC Markets Customers Can Now Copy Trade Directly from the Client Area

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.

Copy Trading Is a Revenue Generator

Although trending services like prop trading have attracted most of the attention over the last few years, copy trading has remained one of the key revenue generators for brokers. As FinanceMagnates.com reported earlier, copy trading generated between 6 and 20 per cent of brokerages' trading volume over the last couple of years.

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.”
