Axcera at SiGMA World 2026: Reflections from Rome
SiGMA World 2026 brought the Axcera team to Rome for four days of conversations about prop trading technology and the operational challenges that come with growth.
From November 2–5, Axcera exhibited at Booth H8-8057 at Fiera Roma, meeting prop firm founders, operators, and industry partners. Axcera Co-founder Herman Shaho also joined the panel "The Prop Trading Firms Roadmap, Tech, Growth & Cross-Border Challenges," part of the FX.world conference program co-located with SiGMA World.
What we discussed at the booth
Herman Shaho, Co-founder and CPO, Lubomir Marasi, Commercial Director, and Marko Mernak welcomed visitors to talk through the infrastructure behind a prop business. Conversations covered:
- CRM and account lifecycle. How a prop trading CRM manages customers, trading accounts, and payouts across multiple asset classes and trading platforms.
- Challenge configuration. How firms set profit targets, drawdown limits, trading-day requirements, and other rules for each program or phase.
- Real-time risk monitoring. How Risk Guard tracks rule conditions as trading happens and flags activity such as copy trading, hedging abuse, and trading-rule violations.
These are practical considerations for firms entering new markets, expanding their offering, or reviewing their current technology provider. Axcera's focus is on bringing core operations into one ecosystem, giving operators the visibility, flexibility, and control to support their next stage of growth.
Taking the conversation to the stage
Herman joined industry leaders on the FX.world panel "The Prop Trading Firms Roadmap, Tech, Growth & Cross-Border Challenges." Stepping in after a last-minute speaker change, he ensured Axcera was represented in a discussion that brought together perspectives from across the industry.
The panel explored technology, expansion, and the challenges of operating across borders. These topics sit close to Axcera's daily work with prop firms.
Why cross-border growth is an infrastructure question
Expanding into a new region is rarely only a go-to-market decision. For a prop firm, it changes onboarding and compliance workflows, platform requirements, payout operations, and the number of accounts the risk team has to monitor.
From Axcera's perspective, firms planning cross-border growth should be able to answer three questions before they launch in a new market:
- Can onboarding handle different KYC and AML requirements? Axcera's compliance layer supports identity verification, document management, and integrations with third-party compliance providers.
- Does the stack support the platforms and asset classes traders in that market expect? Axcera is platform-agnostic and connects to 100+ integrations across trading platforms, payments, compliance, and other services.
- Will risk controls scale with account volume? Rules defined at the plan level are applied to each account and tracked continuously, so rule monitoring stays automated rather than depending on manual review as account volume grows.
We cover the wider operational side of this in scaling from startup to global prop firm without losing control.
What comes next
Alongside the booth meetings and panel, SiGMA World opened conversations about future webinars and opportunities to share industry knowledge. We look forward to developing those discussions further.
Thank you to everyone who visited the Axcera booth, attended the session, or made time to meet our team. We are back from Rome with new connections and plenty of conversations to continue.
