Octa aims to make trading more accessible for investors.
For Octa, a global broker with more than 13 years of experience, 2024 was a year focused on researching clients' needs and using the results to incrementally improve their trading platform, OctaTrader. According to the broker's statement, OctaTrader showed a fivefold increase in the number of open orders year-on-year, proving its growing popularity among traders. Below are some of the main areas in which OctaTrader currently excels as well as some key avenues for its future growth.
OctaTrader: a year of progress
In 2024, OctaTrader's progress was reflected in the yearly number of orders placed by its users, which grew five times as of October 2024, year-on-year. What's more, the Octa team has been working hard to streamline OctaTrader as a holistic ecosystem that empowers traders by expanding the ordinary trading experience.
With a wide variety of features centred around facilitating a more comprehensible and accessible trading process, OctaTrader positions itself as a holistic ecosystem. It aims to make each stage of the journey logical and intuitive. Octa's platform enables informed decisions, offering step-by-step support in building your portfolio, analysing the markets, and opening and closing orders within the trading area. Merged together within OctaTrader as a single cross-device application, all these elements contribute to making trading an accessible and enjoyable experience instead of a time-consuming, energy-draining routine.
OctaTrader provides a smooth workflow across all devices. That means you can pick up your trading session on mobile from where you left it off on your desktop—and vice versa. This approach is ideally suited to the modern hyper-accelerated pace of life, where every minute counts, allowing traders increased flexibility in scheduling their sessions.
Some of the most recent improvements introduced within the OctaTrader ecosystem include accelerated chart loading, new analytical tools and indices, and improved UX and ergonomics in the trading terminals.
Space: OctaTrader's analytical hub
Space, a trading insights and news feed embedded into the OctaTrader app, currently offers around 130 daily posts to support well-informed decision-making and decrease the cognitive load that traders face in their daily sessions. In 2024, OctaTrader introduced user reactions and comments to Space posts. The platform's clients can now express their sentiment towards analytical posts in their Space feed and prioritise the posts with the most favourable reactions. The Space feed within the OctaTrader app is curated by Octa's in-house experts and customised based on user preferences, with trendy topics getting the most exposure.
With Space, OctaTrader embraces the latest AI and ML technologies. Octa experts tap into the power of pattern recognition engines, applying their extensive hands-on experience to pick the most valuable information and offer clients the most precise. and timely market insights. Space also features rich onboarding content, including two dedicated courses aimed at familiarising clients with the entire range of its features and helping them trade with OctaTrader in the most efficient way. By studying these educational materials and following the tips in the app, OctaTrader clients can become fluent in Space-assisted trading and make the best of its analytical expertise.
Flexibility and customisation
Within OctaTrader, users can manage all their trading accounts, effectively making the solution an all-in-one trading hub. Users can switch between their demo and real accounts in a couple of clicks, apply different leverage options, test strategies, and make deposits—all within a single trading ecosystem. With OctaTrader, education, analytics, transactions, and actual trading are one step away from each other, which constitutes a genuinely holistic trading experience.
Boasting a well-rounded trading area, OctaTrader is well-suited for those who value interface flexibility. For example, each of the many indicators available within the app can be hidden so that clients can easily focus and prioritise their tasks. With its highly customisable interface, OctaTrader caters to the needs of both seasoned and emerging traders, creating an enabling environment for any client, regardless of their trading style and asset preferences.
Conclusion
As a global broker, Octa aims to make trading more accessible by lowering the skill cap and facilitating decision-making. With OctaTrader, the broker takes over the routine side of trading, making the process engaging and accessible. Octa’s dynamically evolving ecosystem also offers a wide variety of embedded tools to enable data-driven and precise decisions, reduce cognitive load, and lower stress.

Self-Hosted Trading Platforms for Brokers: Myths, Benefits and a Smarter Way to Scale

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
