As we close out February 2025, we’re excited to share the latest updates that prop trading firms can leverage right now, plus a sneak peek at what’s coming next.
The proprietary trading industry is shifting fast, and prop firms need powerful, adaptable technology to stay ahead. At Axcera, we continuously enhance our platform to help firms streamline operations, optimize risk management, and improve trader experiences.
This month, we’re introducing exciting new features and enhancements, designed to make prop firm management faster, smarter, and more scalable:
- New trader management tools for more flexibility
- Subscription-based trading model—a new way to scale
- Stronger automation & risk management features
- A new flexible plan for smaller firms to start & scale at their own pace
Let’s explore how these updates can give your prop firm a competitive edge in 2025.
Faster Payouts, Better Trader Experience
One of the biggest challenges for prop trading firms? Delays in payouts.
At Axcera, we’ve prioritized seamless and automated withdrawal experiences from day one with our Instant Payouts feature. Since launch, firms have leveraged this capability to ensure fast, reliable payments to their traders. Now, as more operators embrace Instant Payouts, we’re seeing increased adoption, stronger trader satisfaction, and a direct impact on sales—firms that offer faster withdrawals attract and retain more traders.
Why This Matters for Prop Firms:
- Boosts trader trust and retention – Faster payouts = happier traders.
- Reduces manual processing – Automate withdrawals & free up operational resources.
- Enhance cash flow management – With Axcera’s seamless processing and system-wide flexibility, giving your Prop firm greater control.
- Drives sales growth – More firms adopting Instant Payouts are seeing increased trader activity and engagement.
This update makes trader management easier while helping firms deliver a faster, more reliable payment experience.
Instant Payouts (a Premium Feature) are available for MT4, MT5, cTrader, DXTrade, MatchTrader, and TradeLocker.
Smarter Trader Management & Challenge Control
Trader account management just got a major upgrade.
Axcera now supports Change Group on Account Levels across all platforms (MT4, MT5, DXTrade, cTrader, MatchTrader, TradeLocker), allowing firms to move traders between groups without disruption.
How This Helps Prop Firms:
- Dynamic Trader Progression – Move traders between account levels seamlessly.
- Streamlined Funded Accounts – More control over trader tiers & risk settings.
- Enhanced Automation – Reduces manual admin work, improving efficiency.
These tools optimize trader lifecycle management, allowing firms to adjust settings, monitor risk, and deliver a structured trading experience. Axcera’s cross-platform flexibility makes it one of the most adaptable solutions on the market.
Subscription-Based Trading: The Future of Prop Firms?
Axcera is introducing a Subscription Model for Forex Prop Firms—allowing firms to offer monthly subscription plans for trader funding.
Why This is a Game-Changer:
- Stable, Recurring Revenue – Provides consistent cash flow.
- Lower Barrier for Traders – Makes trading challenges more accessible.
- Scalable Model – Adapts to prop firms looking for a sustainable long-term structure.
By implementing a subscription model, prop firms can diversify their revenue streams, reduce churn, and create long-term sustainability in a changing trading landscape.
A New Flexible Plan: Scale Your Prop Firm on Your Terms
We know that not every firm is ready to commit to large-scale operations from day one. That’s why we’ve introduced a new flexible plan designed for smaller prop firms looking to start lean and scale as they grow.
What This Means for You:
- Low-barrier entry – Start with the essentials & expand as needed.
- Custom scalability – Add features as your firm evolves.
- Cost-efficient – A more accessible option compared to traditional enterprise solutions.
This update makes Axcera more accessible to firms of all sizes while keeping its premium technology stack intact.
More Automation, More Customization
Automation and customization are key to running an efficient, scalable prop firm. Axcera continues to introduce more advanced tools to provide firms with greater flexibility and control.
Recent Enhancements:
- Role-Based Widget Visibility – Customize dashboards based on admin roles.
- Flexible Drawdown Options – Offer multiple drawdown structures.
- Broker Instant Group Sync – Automate group updates for more efficient account management
- Orders Refund System – Instantly process refunds through the back office
- News Trading Rules – Implement automated trading restrictions during high-impact news events
These features strengthen risk management, streamline administrative tasks, and enhance the overall trader experience. Axcera prioritizes security, automation, and customization.
What’s Next? (2025 Roadmap)
Axcera remains focused on continuous innovation to help firms optimize their trading technology. Here are some upcoming updates on the roadmap:
- Server Visibility & Sync Tracking – Monitor platform activity in real-time.
- Upgrade Activation Feature – More control over trader account upgrades.
- New Branching Type: “Pause” – Temporarily freeze a trading challenge until rollover, giving traders more flexibility.
- Accounts Max Capital Allocations – Set max capital limits per trader user profile.
These updates are designed to streamline operations, enhance security, and improve scalability for firms managing growing trader bases.
