Spotware at iFX EXPO Dubai 2026: cTrader's Best Trading Platform award and cBridge debut

At iFX EXPO Dubai (11–12 February 2026), Spotware stepped onto the event floor as a multi-product developer. Alongside cTrader and cTrader Store, we officially debuted cBridge, a standalone cost-efficient liquidity bridge.

cTrader wins Best Trading Platform award

The Expo brought industry-wide recognition for our flagship trading platform. Spotware is proud to announce that cTrader has been named Best Trading Platform at UF AWARDS MEA 2026. This prestigious award highlights сTrader’s leadership as a premium trading platform that sets a benchmark for transparency,speed and innovation across the industry, with Traders First™ approach at the core. Trust in cTrader is reflected in its growing community – in 2025, 2 million traders joined cTrader, bringing the total to over 11 million. For brokers and prop firms, cTrader is built to help them scale and enhance competitive standing. Last year, cTrader saw 105% growth in trading volume and 104 new clients were onboarded, underlining its rising demand across both established and entry-level businesses.

cBridge debut

Our team was excited to officially unveil cBridge – a cost-efficient liquidity bridge designed to remove volume-based fees and hidden charges entirely. This price model enables brokers to cut bridge costs significantly, as trading volume doesn’t become a cost driver. As a fully standalone solution, cBridge provides connectivity to all major trading platforms while applying intuitive routing logic.

“Game of Flows: Inside Broker Liquidity Strategies”

At iFX EXPO Dubai 2026, Victor Ivanchenko, cBridge General Manager, brought his extensive liquidity and risk management experience to the panel “Game of Flows: Inside Broker Liquidity Strategies”. He shared expert commentary on the decisions brokers face under pressure, from XAU concentration risk during volatility spikes and limits on internalisation capacity to hedge triggers, risk controls and how far liquidity providers can realistically support brokers in unpredictable market conditions.

cTrader Store: a global marketplace driving broker and prop firm growth

During the expo, the Spotware team also walked visitors through cTrader Store, a central hub for traders. In 2025, Store purchases increased sixfold, reinforcing its role as a global marketplace for high-demand tools – bots, indicators, copy strategies, prop challenges and plugins. For brokers and prop firms, cTrader Store significantly increases visibility among prospective traders through dedicated Brokers, Props and Prop Challenges sections, driving up to 10,000 daily visits.

    Executive Interview | Brendan Callan | CEO, TRADU | FMLS:25

    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.
