Spotware launches cAntifraud to flag cross-firm fraud from sign-up. Spotware Systems' new AI-powered fraud detection solution keeps fraud rates below 0.08% of turnover. It combines early behavioral detection, cross-firm analysis, and financial risk assessment, helping companies identify suspicious trading activity before it leads to financial losses, payment disputes or reputational damage. "Trading abuse doesn't stop at the boundaries of a single firm, but that's often where a risk team's visibility ends. It's difficult to recognise suspicious patterns when you're only seeing part of the picture. With cAntifraud, we want to change this. Our goal is to help brokers and prop firms identify potential abuse earlier, uncover connections across companies and understand their financial exposure before financial damage grows. Just as importantly, we want to give trading departments the information they need to assess risk more accurately and support fair and responsible trading practices," commented Pavel Demin, General Manager of cAntifraud at Spotware. Early detection. The earlier a broker or prop firm notices unusual activity, the more options it has for dealing with it. Too often, however, potential violations only come to light during a payout review. At that point a client is awaiting funds, and any hold on a payment can lead to disputes, negative client feedback and pressure on risk and support teams. As trading volumes and payout requests grow, reviewing each case by hand gets harder to sustain. The more elaborate schemes make this even more difficult. Multiple accounts, coordinated trading, third-party account management and activity spread across several companies are hard to spot when a risk team sees only part of the picture. Establishing who makes the trading decisions is also challenging when accounts are run through bots, signals or other people. cAntifraud looks at risk from the earliest stage of the client relationship. Risk signals are evaluated during onboarding, including the initial KYC checks, and monitoring of trading activity continues afterwards. The AI examines trading patterns, execution timing, links between accounts and signs of coordinated activity helps risk teams distinguish potentially abusive behaviour from legitimate trading practices and gives them more context for each case. Cross-firm intelligence. One of cAntifraud's main strengths is that it can detect suspicious links that go beyond one broker or prop firm. Participating companies share intelligence through a common network, so each can benefit from risk signals identified at other firms. When a potential threat is detected, the system immediately notifies other participants. That helps recognise potentially related accounts, coordinated trading schemes and hedging across firms. cAntifraud is fully GDPR-compliant. The network exchanges encrypted and anonymised data. Each company keeps control of its own data and cannot access another participant's client information. Analysing the network's combined signals can reveal patterns that a single firm would not detect on its own data. As more brokers and prop firms join, the shared intelligence becomes richer, improving the detection of suspicious connections and recurring schemes. Financial risk assessment. cAntifraud also helps brokers and prop firms estimate what trading abuse could cost them financially. Its risk assessment tools cover estimated payout exposure and trader risk evaluation, so firms can decide which investigations to prioritise. Flagging suspicious activity within 15 minutes will allow a company to react soon enough to protect the funds fully. Covering the risks brokers and prop firms face. For FX/CFD brokers, cAntifraud targets practices that can affect profitability and operational stability: IB commission abuse, latency arbitrage, coordinated trading, multi-accounting, copy trading abuse, cross-broker hedging and exploitation of bonus or zero-balance protection mechanisms. For prop firms, cAntifraud addresses challenge farming, external hedging, multi-accounting, latency arbitrage and breaches of trading rules. Automated rule monitoring flags potential violations during trading, so firms do not depend only on manual checks ahead of a payout. This eases the burden on risk and support staff as the number of funded accounts and completed challenges grows. Importantly, cAntifraud does not automatically block traders or decide whether a payout should be approved. Instead, it supplies the evidence needed to take appropriate action. The focus is on the signs of abuse, and profitable trading by legitimate traders is not treated as a reason for action. Standalone and platform-agnostic. cAntifraud supports cTrader, MT5 and other major trading platforms, liquidity bridges and CRMs through a universal API. It complements existing risk management systems, allowing companies to improve fraud detection without replacing their current infrastructure. The solution can operate independently or with cBridge, Spotware's fixed-price liquidity bridge. See how cAntifraud could work with your existing trading and risk systems.

Spotware launches a fraud network where brokers and prop firms share alerts. Wednesday, 04/11/2026 | 02:52 GMT-8 by Damian Chmiel * Its cAntifraud service pools anonymized data, so a scheme caught at one company sets off warnings at the others. * The cTrader developer charges $999 a month, or $250 for anyone joining before December 31. Spotware Systems, the Cyprus-based developer of cTrader, today (Wednesday) launched a fraud detection service that pools anonymized data from brokers and prop trading firms. The product, cAntifraud, warns every member firm when one of them flags a trader as a threat, the company said. Abuse spread across several companies is hard for any one risk desk to see. In March 2025, prop firm PipFarm said it had infiltrated a group of about 800 traders who took opposite positions at different prop firms to lock in profits whichever way the market moved. The losses can be outsized. Ruben Abitbol, former head of trading and risk at The5ers, said last year that fewer than 1% of traders can bankrupt a prop firm that fails to identify them. Spotware says cAntifraud keeps fraud below 0.08% of turnover and can flag suspicious activity within 15 minutes. A third new business this year. cAntifraud is the third business Spotware has added alongside cTrader in 2026, by FinanceMagnates.com's count. cTrader itself signed 104 new broker and prop firm clients in 2025, the company said in January. Like cBridge, the fraud service carries a flat fee. Its website lists $999 a month, cut to $250 for firms that join before December 31, with the rate locked for 12 months. It can run alone or alongside cBridge. Warnings shared across firms. Checks start at onboarding, including initial KYC, and continue once the client trades. The system looks at execution timing, links between accounts and coordinated activity, and member firms exchange that data in encrypted, anonymized form, with each seeing only its own records. Pavel Demin, general manager of cAntifraud at Spotware, said a risk team usually sees only what happens inside its own firm. "Trading abuse doesn't stop at the boundaries of a single firm," he said. For brokers, the service targets introducing broker commission abuse, latency arbitrage, multi-accounting, cross-broker hedging and bonus exploitation. For prop firms, it covers challenge farming, external hedging and breaches of trading rules. It does not block traders or decide on payouts, the company said. Risk teams get the evidence and act on it themselves, a stance Match-Prime also took with its HawkEye system, which reroutes toxic flow to separate liquidity pools instead of closing accounts. The nearest model is Centroid Solutions' PropShield, a shared network launched in June 2025 in which prop firms pool anonymized trader data. Spotware's version puts brokers and prop firms in the same network. The service also connects to MT5 and other platforms through an API. cTrader drew about 574,000 organic visits in the third quarter of 2026 against 3.5 million for MT5, FM Intelligence's platform comparison shows, so the MT5 audience is about six times larger.

cTrader showcases AI-powered trading capabilities at The Trading Festival Mexico. Monday, 02/11/2026 | 01:39 GMT-8 by Spotware * Meet Spotware at The Trading Festival Mexico 2026 on 12-13 November. Explore cTrader's innovations for traders, brokers and prop firms, including MCP servers for AI-powered trading. Spotware Systems will be present at The Trading Festival Mexico 2026 on 12-13 November at the World Trade Center in Mexico City, Booth B1, introducing the latest updates to its flagship platform, cTrader. Returning to Mexico after cTrader's Best Trading Platform LATAM 2025 award, the cTrader team will demonstrate a new suite of platform capabilities for traders. The main highlight is AI-powered trading, but there's much more to explore: new cTrader features that make everyday trading smoother and more personalised. Spotware will also welcome meetings with brokers and prop firms to discuss how cTrader can support their business growth. cTrader at the forefront of AI trading. More traders now hand routine market work to AI assistants, and brokers have to keep up. In May 2026, cTrader became the first platform to launch official MCP servers for trading. At the expo, brokers and prop firms can explore how they can simplify their clients' daily trading: for instance, a trader can ask an AI assistant to read market conditions, adjust an open position or rearrange a trading workspace, and the platform executes it on the spot. No in-house development needed. Moreover, with cTrader CLI, traders can perform trading, account and algo operations from the command line, on their own or with AI. At the festival, Ricardo Dias, Business Development Manager at Spotware, will join the panel "AI for Retail Traders: Using Smarter Tools Without Losing Control". The speakers will discuss how AI, trading bots and automation can help with research, execution and risk management, and where the pitfalls lie, from unreliable data to the need to keep traders in charge of their decisions. From cTrader demand to active clients. How can client acquisition become more efficient without extra marketing spend? The cTrader Leads programme is designed for this and requires no upfront cost. It connects brokers and prop firms with high-intent prospects already exploring cTrader and its trading tools and currently draws 170,000+ visits per month. Personalised in-app prompts further guide prospects toward registration and live trading. Among converted users, the average first deposit is $800, with an average of 2.3 deposits per user per month. Mobile app advertising is now possible: brokers can promote their branded mobile apps and see which advertising campaigns drive installs and client activity. The team will also show enhancements to IB-powered acquisition. Building on cTrader Invite and the cTrader Leads programme, the new cTrader Store affiliate programme lets IBs earn Store commissions on top of their referral commissions from brokers and gives them a full promotion toolkit to bring in more traders. Your brand and your tools inside cTrader. Attendees will also see a brand-new cTrader capability: pre-installed multi-platform plugins. Firms can now build their own services into cTrader, from AI assistants, trading journals and trade ideas to analytics dashboards, calculators and trading contests. Instead of the standard setup every competitor offers, clients get tools shaped around the specific business model. A plugin can be pre-installed across all of a firm's branded cTrader apps at no extra cost to traders or listed in cTrader Store for its own clients or for the wider cTrader community. Either way, it becomes a tool for differentiation, retention and acquisition. A single web-based plugin runs on all platforms, so there is no need to adapt it for each device. A dedicated dev team isn't required either: firms can pick a ready-made plugin, adapt a web tool they already have or get in touch with developers who have built hundreds of products for cTrader. Meet its team at The Trading Festival. If you are planning to scale, looking for new business opportunities or just want to see the new features up close, come and talk to Finance Magnates Ltd.. Book a meeting in advance to secure a convenient time with its team.

cTrader takes Best Trading Platform at UF Awards APAC 2026 as Spotware centres broker growth at iFX EXPO Asia. Key facts. * cTrader was named Best Trading Platform at UF Awards APAC 2026 during iFX EXPO Asia in Hong Kong. * More than 12 million traders use cTrader, which supports 23 languages and serves more than 300 brokers and prop firms, including a build localised for mainland China. * cTrader MCP servers for trading connect the platform to AI apps, and cTrader CLI runs trading, account and algo work from the command line. * The cTrader Leads programme draws on cTrader Store and the cross-broker app, together more than 170K visits a month, with an average first deposit of $800 and 2.3 deposits per user per month, at no upfront cost. * cFinancial charges a flat $4 per $1M on FX and metals. cBridge uses fixed, infrastructure-based pricing, with potential savings of up to 80% against volume-based bridge models. At iFX EXPO Asia in Hong Kong, cTrader was named Best Trading Platform at UF Awards APAC 2026. The title comes as cTrader keeps extending its reach in major Asian markets, mainland China among them, on a platform localised for traders in that region. Worldwide, more than 12 million traders already use cTrader. It supports 23 languages and is in the hands of more than 300 brokers and prop firms. AI sits high on the list for traders and for brokers, and cTrader is already built for it. cTrader MCP servers for trading join the platform to popular AI apps. Traders say what they need in plain language, and the AI analyses markets, manages accounts, handles orders and positions or adjusts the trading workspace. With cTrader CLI, meanwhile, trading, account and algo operations can be run from the command line by hand, or handed to an AI assistant. cTrader is still a leading platform for traders at every level of experience. Newer traders come for the mobile-first, intuitive interface, the risk-management tools built in, executable signals, price alerts and educational content. Experienced traders get advanced order controls, a professional workspace for technical analysis, native C# and Python support, and free 24/7 cloud execution for cBots, with no VPS required. What brokers wanted to know in Hong Kong. Three questions kept coming up at the Expo: "How can we acquire new clients without extra spending?", "What can we offer that competitors don't?" and "How can Financefeeds improve the cost-efficiency of its liquidity setup?". Here is how Financefeeds answered them. New clients without a bill for every click. The cTrader Leads programme lets brokers reach and convert traders who are already looking through broker offerings, or hunting for new trading tools, inside cTrader, at no upfront cost. Those openings come through cTrader Store and the cross-broker cTrader app, which together bring in more than 170K visits a month. After a trader converts, the average first deposit reaches $800, and the average is 2.3 deposits per user per month. An offer the next firm cannot copy off the shelf. In a market this competitive, standing apart has become a business priority. Multi-platform plugins open a new route for brokers and prop firms, so they can shape a cTrader offering around client needs, business goals and brand identity. A firm can build its own tools and services into cTrader, pre-install them for its clients and, if it wishes, list them in cTrader Store to reach new potential clients. There is no wait for a core platform release. Brokers and prop firms can launch exclusive services on their own timetable, serve different trader segments and use cases, and put together an offering that is distinctly theirs. Liquidity that stays cost-effective as volume grows. Liquidity was another large topic in Hong Kong, above all the pressure to improve pricing and execution without letting infrastructure costs climb at the same pace. cFinancial, an institutional liquidity provider for brokers and prop firms, was at the expo and drew particularly strong interest. Ricardo Dias, Business Development Manager, even called it "the star of the Expo." cFinancial offers executable pricing, intelligent routing and resilient infrastructure, with a flat commission of $4 per $1M on FX and metals. For brokers, the job does not finish once liquidity is available. After it is connected, they still need an efficient way to manage aggregation, routing and exposure. That is the role of cBridge, a standalone liquidity bridge, which brings those functions into a single workflow across cTrader, MT4, MT5 and FIX API. With fixed, infrastructure-based pricing, bridge costs do not rise with trading volume, offering potential savings of up to 80% compared with volume-based models. Taken together, cFinancial and cBridge cover both sides of the task: access to competitive liquidity, and the cost-efficient infrastructure required to manage it. Talk to the team. The Expo may be over, but the challenges raised there are as live as they were on the floor. If you could not be in Hong Kong, Financefeeds would be glad to walk you through the solutions that fit your business best. About spotware Systems.

eBooks.com debuts unified mobile reading apps for complex digital formats. As reported by Good e-Reader, eBooks.com has launched two new reading apps for iOS and Android, built through an Australian-European partnership and grounded in open digital publishing standards. Lloyd Cranston, E-Ink Hardware & Display Analyst·updated September 13, 2026 The apps consolidate fixed-format EPUB, audio-visual ebooks, manga, and textbooks with specialized typography into a unified reader for iPhone, iPad, and Android. For users managing subscriptions across fragmented digital platforms, the release is a substantive platform upgrade rather than an incremental refresh. Reading stack: Readium LCP, Colibrio, and Thorium integration. The new apps were developed jointly with the European Digital Reading Lab and Sweden-based Colibrio, with Readium LCP handling DRM and the broader stack aligned to the Readium open-source reference implementation. Readium is the same framework underpinning a growing share of ePaper and digital-newspaper delivery pipelines, which gives the launch relevance beyond commercial ebooks. eBooks.com positions the mobile reader alongside its browser-based Online Reader and support for the Thorium desktop reading application, producing a unified endpoint set across mobile, web, and desktop. From a rendering standpoint, this matters because fixed-format EPUBs - the format most textbooks, comics, and image-heavy publications rely on - require a layout engine that preserves absolute positioning, embedded fonts, and AV overlays without losing the publisher's original layout. Apps built on reflowable-only engines typically fail on those assets, defaulting to broken images or misaligned columns. The Colibrio partnership supplies a layout layer capable of handling those file types natively alongside standard reflowable content, which is operationally significant for academic and reference workflows where page fidelity is required. Typography, display, and accessibility engineering. The apps integrate with VoiceOver on iOS and TalkBack on Android, then extend those system hooks with reader-side controls: text size, typeface, spacing, alignment, color, and margins are all user-adjustable. eBooks.com has also added reading profiles intended for dyslexic readers and other visual or cognitive preferences - a layer beyond default OS-level scaling. Offline reading is supported, which is operationally relevant for users on metered connections or in low-coverage regions. Founder Stephen Cole described the platform as 'bristling with useful features,' built around accessibility, simplicity, and interoperability, with iOS and Android assistive technologies integrated at the system level. What to verify before switching your library. Three checks are worth running before migrating existing libraries or starting a new subscription: * Format audit. Confirm that fixed-format EPUBs, AV-enhanced titles, and specialized-font textbooks render correctly. The spec supports them; device-level behavior under those assets should be tested with a sample title before committing. * DRM scope. Readium LCP is the stated DRM layer. Verify that titles acquired through other ecosystems - Adobe DRM or proprietary store DRM - are either compatible or have a documented migration path. * Cross-device sync. With mobile, web, and desktop endpoints in play, confirm whether reading position, annotations, and bookmarks sync across all three surfaces - a frequent gap in newly launched multi-platform readers. The pattern of legacy platforms rebuilding around open, standards-based stacks extends well beyond reading apps. Adjacent content verticals are pursuing similar consolidation around creator-facing tooling and open delivery frameworks - one parallel example is the launch of Spotware's cTrader Creator program for AI-driven trading strategies, which similarly repositions an established platform around a refreshed, open-standards app layer.
