Prop firms
Prop firms that use cTrader: the rules compared
Confirmed on each firm’s own site or help centre, with the date it was looked at. Third-party lists of cTrader firms disagreed with the firms themselves twice on 2026-09-10, which is why none of them is a source here. The firms with a rule table have a page of their own.

Also on cTrader
| Firm | What the firm says | Source |
|---|---|---|
| PipFarm | cTrader only - the firm says it "runs entirely on the cTrader platform". Daily loss is measured against the EOD reference, which is the higher of the previous day's end-of-day balance and equity, less 3%, or 4% from Rank 4 of its Experience Program. A new trading day starts at 22:00 GMT, and 21:00 GMT during U.S. daylight saving. (source) | Firm’s site Checked |
| BrightFunded | One of three platforms, beside MetaTrader 5 and DXtrade. | Firm’s site Checked |
A firm that is not here either does not offer cTrader or could not be confirmed on its own site on the checked date. FTUK names MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker and Match-Trader and no cTrader on its own site (Checked ), despite appearing on several “cTrader prop firm” lists.
