Company news

We are pleased to announce that UpTrader is launching support for Prop Trading within our Forex CRM ecosystem. All UpTrader clients from the basic Self-served to Enterprise plan will get access to Prop Trading mode.

Vasily Alexeev, UpTrader CEO:
 

In 2022, when prop firms began to emerge, they didn't seem to me like they would have a long lifespan. However, now in 2024, we can all see that prop trading is thriving. At UpTrader, we are not only creating a fundamental infrastructure for brokers that provides everything required to build a strong business, but we also respond to highly demanded services if we see sustained demand from the market and a promising future perspective. I'm pleased to announce that we have finally launched a Prop Firm Module for our UpTrader CRM.

We invite brokers to take advantage of the extensive capabilities of UpTrader Forex CRM including Prop Trading Accounts and take your business to the next level.

Prop trading overview

Prop trading, short for proprietary trading, is when a firm, often referred to as a prop firm, engages in trading financial instruments with its own money rather than using clients' funds. This is distinctly different from traditional retail or client-driven trading, as the primary aim here is for the firm to earn direct profits from its trading activities. Proprietary trading firms hire traders, who act more as subcontractors rather than traditional employees, to execute trades. The profits generated from these activities are typically shared between the traders and the firm, with traders often taking a significant portion of the profits due to their role in generating them.

One of the key distinctions between proprietary trading and retail trading is the source of capital. In retail trading, individuals trade with their own money and are subject to their own risk tolerance and strategies, whereas in prop trading, the capital is provided by the firm. Prop traders are required to follow the firm's trading strategies and risk management protocols.

Challenges

As often happens in financial markets, new technologies are adopted, then they are restricted and the market adapts to the changes.
 

Some trading platforms support proprietary trading companies, while others do not. We are glad to inform you that UpTrader's ecosystem is fully integrated not only with MetaTrader, but also with two of the most popular platforms for prop trading: cTrader and dxTrade. This integration makes the process of either establishing a new prop firm or integrating an existing one into our ecosystem extremely easy.

In the latest update to the UpTrader CRM Sales Interface, a critical and highly functional addition has been made to enhance the productivity and efficiency of sales and management teams - the Tasks feature. This new feature has been carefully designed to streamline task management, enabling you to create, assign, monitor, and close tasks directly within the CRM interface, ensuring that no client interaction or follow-up is overlooked.

The Tasks feature is accessible via the Sales Interface's left panel, where you can click on the Tasks button to view and manage your tasks. This section is meticulously organized with tabs for My tasks, All tasks, Reassign (which gives you the ability to reassign tasks) Open, and Closed tasks, ensuring that you can quickly filter and access tasks based on their completion status. Each task entry provides comprehensive information including the client's name, task title, assignee, the task creator, due date, and the date of creation, thereby keeping all pertinent details at your fingertips.

Task creation is super easy, just go to the Contacts page, select a client, and create a new task by specifying key details such as the task type (e.g., Call, Mail, Monitoring), title, description, assignee, communication platform (for Mail tasks), and deadlines. This process not only simplifies task assignment but also ensures that each task is well-documented and trackable.

Editing tasks is just as simple, you are able to modify any aspect of a task, from its title and description to its assignee and deadlines, ensuring that tasks remain up-to-date with any changes in priorities or schedules. Furthermore, the option to add comments during task creation and editing facilitates better communication and clarity among team members.

The closing of tasks is a straightforward process. Upon completion, you can add final comments and close the task, which then moves to the Closed tasks tab. This not only helps in keeping the open tasks list manageable but also provides a sense of accomplishment and progress tracking for teams.

In essence, the Tasks feature is a testament to UpTrader CRM's commitment to providing comprehensive and user-friendly solutions that empower brokerage firms and their teams to manage their workflows more effectively. With the introduction of this feature, managing client interactions, follow-ups, and internal tasks becomes a seamlessly integrated part of the CRM ecosystem, enhancing overall productivity and ensuring that no client needs or tasks fall through the cracks.

If you're looking to enhance your brokerage firm's operational efficiency and ensure meticulous management of client interactions, it's time to explore the Tasks feature within the UpTrader CRM Sales Interface. For a demo or more information, reach out to us at [email protected].

The new Analytics section of the UpTrader CRM Sales Interface revolutionizes how brokerage firms can delve into their business and client data with ease and precision. This powerful tool is divided into two main tabs: Clients and Managers, each designed to provide comprehensive insights tailored to different aspects of your business operations.

Clients Tab

The Clients tab presents a user-friendly table displaying critical information about your client base, such as their name, last seen date, total deposits (In), total withdrawals (Out), the net balance (In/Out), current balance, and the IB Partner associated with each client, alongside their status and any recent comments. 

Moreover, this section includes two intuitive charts. The New clients chart graphically represents the influx of new clients over time, while the In/Out chart offers a clear visual and numeric breakdown of deposit and withdrawal activities, helping you to immediately grasp trends in client transactions.

Managers Tab

Similarly, the Managers tab focuses on the performance and activities of your brokerage firm's managers. Here, each manager is listed with detailed metrics, including their ID, name, the total deposits and withdrawals handled, the net client transaction balance, the number of clients managed, and the count of open, closed, and total tasks assigned. An added feature aggregates the sum of all values in each column at the top, offering a quick glance at overarching trends and performance metrics.

This tab also allows for sorting of data, enabling managers to efficiently organize and prioritize their focus based on various performance indicators.

A Tool for Data-Driven Decisions

By providing an in-depth yet straightforward overview of both clients and business operations, the Analytics section stands out as a key feature for brokers aiming to make informed, data-driven decisions. Its user-centric design ensures that whether you are analyzing client activity or managing team performance, you have all the necessary tools at your disposal for enhancing efficiency and bolstering your firm's success.
