The cTrader developer introduces features allowing brokers to set ultra-high leverage, bypass margin requirements, and force-close positions in bulk.
“Every feature in this release was designed to make operations faster, more adaptable, and more precise,” said Spotware's Irina Olyaeva.
Spotware
has unveiled cBroker 9.5, the latest update to its back-office solution for
trading platforms, introducing several features designed to give brokers
greater control over risk management and client accounts.
The new
release builds upon version 9.4 with capabilities that include leverage
settings of up to 10,000:1, bulk force-closure of positions, and options to
bypass margin requirements during balance operations.

9.5
Among the
key additions is a margin and balance check bypass feature, enabling brokers to
perform account operations even when an account's margin level falls below 100%
or has insufficient balance. This provides greater flexibility in managing
accounts during volatile market conditions.

“With
cBroker 9.5, we're giving brokers the kind of granular control that today's
markets demand,” said Irina Olyaeva, Product Manager for cBroker at
Spotware. “Every feature in this release was designed to make brokerage
operations faster, more adaptable, and more precise.”
The update
significantly increases maximum leverage options from 4,000 to 10,000, with new
preset options at 6,000, 7,000, 8,000, and 9,000.
The update comes less than two weeks after Spotware also introduced the latest version of cTrader, version 5.2, which features risk-reward calculation tools and improved performance across all devices. This iteration has also significantly reduced the platform’s startup time.
Operational Efficiency and
Position Management Tools
For
operational efficiency, cBroker 9.5 introduces a bulk force-close function that
allows managers to instantly close all open positions on a specific account.
This tool enables quick responses to potential policy breaches or sudden market
shifts that might require immediate action.
“This update
goes beyond functionality,” added Olyaeva. “It’s about enabling
brokers to respond decisively in real time, scale with confidence and tailor
the trading experience to their exact business model.”
Position
management has been enhanced with the ability to move open positions between
books, particularly useful for hedging purposes or when a liquidity provider
rejects closure orders. Additionally, the platform maintains continuity in
stock management with a “Keep original book” option during symbol
split operations.
Administrative
improvements include the ability to transfer settings across group profiles and
edit manager names directly within the application. The user interface has also
been refined with alternating grey shades in grid displays to improve readability
and reduce eye strain.
In the meantime, the company also launched the cTrader Discord Community, as the platform remains popular among retail traders in both the prop trading and CFD markets.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

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.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations.
