日本語 Match-Trade Integration for Forex Brokers and Prop Firms
Connect the Match-Trade bridge to your MT5 server, add the Match-Trader platform next to MetaTrader, or both. We plan, configure, test and support the integration on the broker side.
Match-Trade integration explained: Match-Trader platform vs the MT4/MT5 bridge, MT5 connectivity, APIs, setup steps, testing and support for forex brokers.
What does "Match-Trade integration" actually mean?
"Match-Trade integration" covers two different product families from one vendor: the Match-Trader trading platform and the Bridge MT4/MT5 with RMS (bridge plus liquidity aggregator). Before you scope the project, decide which one you are integrating. The work and risks differ.
Match-Trade Technologies LLC is a software company incorporated in Delaware, USA. On its own website it says it is not a broker and does not hold client funds. Its product list (match-trade.com, accessed 8 October 2026) also includes a Client Office with CRM, social/copy trading, and liquidity and data feeds. The table separates the products that matter for integration.
| Product | What it is | Typical integration job | Who usually owns it at the broker |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bridge MT4/MT5 with RMS | Bridge and liquidity aggregator between MetaTrader servers and FIX liquidity providers, with risk management and a web Bridge Manager | Connect MT5 (or a legacy MT4) server, map symbols, set A-Book/B-Book routing and hedge rules, reconcile | Dealing / risk team, MetaTrader administrator |
| Match-Trader platform (Server Licence) | Match-Trade's own trading platform on a server dedicated to the broker, with Admin, Manager and API access | Configure instruments, groups, LP and data-feed connections, CRM and payments, APIs, branded apps | CTO, operations, dealing |
| Match-Trader White Label | Branded Match-Trader environment run on Match-Trade's infrastructure, with a WL Admin app | Branding, offers, spreads and commissions, CRM and payment hookup, liquidity connection | Operations, marketing |
| Match-Trader Prop / Prop CRM | Challenge and evaluation software for prop firms, now also able to run MT5 accounts (February 2026 release) | Challenge rules, MT5 connector, KYC, payments, payout workflows | Prop operations, risk |
| MT4/MT5 server hosting and support | Match-Trade's managed hosting for brokers' own MetaTrader servers | Server migration and hand-over of administration | CTO, IT |
Most brokers here already run MetaTrader 5 and want a different bridge or a second platform. For how bridges work in general, see forex bridge solutions.
How does the Match-Trade bridge connect to MT5?
The Match-Trade Bridge MT4/MT5 with RMS sits between your MetaTrader server and FIX liquidity providers: it aggregates prices, routes orders by A-Book/B-Book rules and reports exposure. Match-Trade says the bridge connects without a plugin on the MetaTrader server.
"…seamless connectivity to multiple FIX-compliant Liquidity Providers: LMAX, CFH, Currenex and many more. No plugin installation on MT4 Server needed"— Match-Trade Technologies, Bridge MT4/MT5 with RMS (accessed October 2026)
On MT5 the usual way to connect an external execution venue is a gateway. MetaQuotes describes the MT5 Gateway API as the interface "used for MetaTrader 5 integration with other trading systems and creation of custom data feeds". A MetaQuotes news item dated 2 November 2017 lists "Full integration with MetaTrader 5 Gateway and liquidity aggregator" among Match-Trade's MT5 products.

The bridge product page (last modified 24 June 2025, accessed 8 October 2026) lists these features:
- Multiple LP connection: aggregate several price streams and manage hedge settings in real time.
- Risk management: risk settings at account or group level. You can hedge specific groups, accounts or instruments, or only a percentage of them.
- Hedge Monitor: compare hedged exposure on MT4/MT5 against the LP accounts and the B-Book exposure.
- Bridge Manager: a web application for A-Book and B-Book groups, plus data-feed controls (min/max spreads, price multipliers, order book modifications).
- Execution: best bid/offer aggregation, VWAP execution for B-Book trades, and order book streaming to the MT5 server.
On pricing, the page says the bridge is "available at a simple flat fee" with "no turnover-based fees". It also says brokers can use the bridge for free if they connect to Match-Trade's recommended liquidity providers. No amounts are published, so compare written quotes on the same volume assumptions.
What is the Match-Trader platform and how does it relate to MetaTrader 5?
Match-Trader is Match-Trade's own multi-asset trading platform. It is a separate system from MetaTrader. Brokers run it as their only platform, add it next to MT5, or (since February 2026) use its prop backend to manage MT5 accounts.
Match-Trade's pages (accessed 8 October 2026) state:
- Adoption: match-trader.com/brokers/ (modified 7 October 2026) describes Match-Trader as "used by 200+ registered Forex brokers and prop trading firms".
- Delivery: the platform is a progressive web app that can also be published as a branded app in the stores. Two offerings are described: White Label and a broker's own server (Server Licence).
- Capacity: the Server Licence page (modified 29 October 2025) says the server's capacity was confirmed "by having 100k accounts on our own server".
- Charts: built-in TradingView charts plus in-house charts.
- Ecosystem: a Client Office with CRM, a multi-level IB module, Praxis Cashier (300+ PSPs) and KYC providers. SumSub is named, and Ondato was added in February 2026.
For MetaTrader brokers, the key 2026 change is the February release:
"This release marks a major milestone for the Match-Trader Prop Trading platform: our proprietary backend is now fully integrated with MetaTrader 5 (MT5) through a dedicated connector and service architecture."— Match-Trader, February Release, published 17 February 2026 (accessed October 2026)
According to the same release, the connector covers the whole prop lifecycle on MT5 accounts: account creation and blocking, equity calculation, challenge and competition management, trading restrictions and breach logic. One backend now serves Match-Trader and MT5 accounts.
MetaQuotes states that "The MetaTrader 4 trading platform licenses are no longer available for purchase", and it sells MT5 licences in Entry (1,000), Standard (25,000) and Enterprise (200,000) real-account tiers. Match-Trade markets its Match-Trader White Label as an alternative for brokers who cannot get an MT4 white label. Still on MT4? Our MT4 to MT5 migration can be planned together with a Match-Trader rollout.
Which Match-Trade integration architecture fits your brokerage?
Most projects fall into one of five patterns. The right one keeps a single source of truth for accounts and for exposure, with as few hand-offs as possible.
| Scenario | Components | Main integration work | Main risk to control |
|---|---|---|---|
| A. MT5 broker replacing or adding a bridge | Own MT5 server + Match-Trade bridge + existing LPs | Gateway connection, symbol mapping, group routing, hedge rules, LP FIX sessions | Mismatched contract sizes or digits; unhedged exposure during switch-over |
| B. MT5 broker adding Match-Trader as a second platform | MT5 + Match-Trader server or WL + shared CRM + shared or separate liquidity | CRM connectors for both platforms, consistent offers/groups, reporting across platforms | Different spreads/swaps per platform; duplicated client records |
| C. Prop firm running MT5 accounts via Match-Trader Prop | Match-Trader Prop backend + MT5 connector + Prop CRM | Challenge rules, account lifecycle on MT5, KYC, payouts, abuse rules | Breach logic and equity calculations that do not match MT5 data |
| D. Match-Trader with a third-party bridge | Match-Trader + another bridge (Match-Trade announced a Centroid Bridge integration on 8 May 2023) | Bridge configuration, routing rules on both sides | Two places to change routing; responsibility gaps |
| E. New brokerage on Match-Trader only | Match-Trader WL or server + Client Office/CRM + liquidity | Branding, offers, payments, KYC, liquidity, data feeds | Launching before testing and reconciliation are complete |
In scenario B, decide early which CRM is the master. Match-Trade has its own Client Office and CRM; third-party CRMs such as B2BROKER's B2CORE and FX Back Office document Match-Trader connectors. See forex CRM solutions.
In scenario A, the liquidity side is the same job as any other LP onboarding. FIX sessions, symbols, hours and margin terms must agree; see liquidity provider integration and FIX API integration.
How do we integrate Match-Trade step by step?
A safe integration has eight steps: agree scope, mirror your trading conditions, connect in test, prove that prices, orders and exposure reconcile, then move live groups in stages.
- Discovery and inventory. We document your MT5 (or MT4) server build, groups, symbols, gateways, plugins, LP contracts, CRM and reporting.
- Target design. Choose the pattern (A–E above), the routing model (A-Book, B-Book or hybrid by group, account or instrument) and the master system for clients and balances.
- Symbol and group mapping. Build a mapping sheet covering MetaTrader symbol to bridge symbol to LP symbol, with contract size, digits, swaps, sessions, margin currency and markups.
- Connectivity. Set up the MT5 gateway connection to the bridge, the FIX price and order sessions to each LP, firewall rules and IP whitelisting.
- Configuration in the test environment. Load routing and hedge rules, spread limits and price multipliers in Bridge Manager. Then check MT5 group settings so that execution mode and price filters match the bridge.
- Testing. Test every order type on key symbols, plus rejects, partial fills, LP disconnect and reconnect, a weekend gap and a daylight-saving session change. Then reconcile MT5 deals against bridge reports and LP statements.
- Staged go-live. Move one low-volume group first, watch exposure in Hedge Monitor and MT5, then move the rest of the groups. Keep a written rollback plan to your previous route.
- Ongoing operations. Daily checks of logs, LP sessions and reconciliation, plus end-of-day risk reports, holiday and DST schedule checks, and changes when you add LPs or instruments.
Match-Trade advertises launching a brokerage or prop firm on Match-Trader "in just 1 week". Broker-side work (remapping MT5 groups, reconciling LPs, connecting a non-Match-Trade CRM) depends on your number of groups, symbols and LPs, so we estimate it after discovery.

Match-Trader has separate APIs for traders, brokers and server operators; choose by who calls the API and what it changes.
"We provide access to all available APIs, including the Manager API, Admin API, Backoffice API, Match-Trader API, Candle API, Websocket API, and FIX API."— Match-Trade Technologies, Match-Trader Server Licence (accessed October 2026)
| API | Protocols stated by vendor | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Platform API (Match-Trader API) | REST for login, registration and token refresh; WebSocket with STOMP for market watch | Custom trader front ends, trading tools; can be disabled on a server licence |
| Broker API | REST and gRPC, token-based authorisation | Accounts, trading accounts, payments, positions, ledgers, candles for CRM and back-office integration |
| Manager API | Not specified on the product page | Calling manager functions from external apps, reporting tools and websites |
| WebSocket and Candle APIs | WebSocket; web candle export | Streaming prices and charts to your website |
| FIX API | FIX | Institutional connectivity and liquidity links |
| MetaTrader 5 APIs (for comparison) | Gateway, Manager, Server, Report and Web API (MetaQuotes) | Bridges and data feeds (Gateway API), back-office tools (Manager API), web integrations (Web API) |
If you searched for "matchtrader api" as a developer, start with Match-Trade's technical documentation page. It links to the Platform API reference. Brokers mostly use the Broker API or Manager API to sync accounts, deposits and reports with a CRM. For MetaTrader-side connectors see MetaTrader API integration page.
On 6 October 2026 Match-Trader announced "Match-Trader MCP for Traders", a remote Model Context Protocol server connecting trading accounts to AI assistants. Review it against your security policy like any other API access.
What goes wrong in Match-Trade integrations, and how do you check it?
Most problems are not software bugs but configuration that differs between systems: symbols, sessions, routing rules or balances. A checklist run before and after go-live catches most of them.
| Issue | Typical symptom | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Symbol mapping error | Orders rejected or filled at wrong size | Contract size, digits, lot step and suffixes in MT5, bridge and LP |
| Session or DST mismatch | Quotes stop, or trading opens before the LP accepts orders | Trading sessions in MT5 vs LP schedule, especially in DST and holiday weeks |
| Routing rule overlap | A group meant for A-Book is partly B-Booked | Rule order and patterns in Bridge Manager; Match-Trader's Account Rules tab shows routing, hedge and abuse rules per account |
| Hedge ratio drift | Exposure in Hedge Monitor does not match the plan | Percentage hedge settings by group, instrument and account |
| Reconciliation breaks | Bridge report, MT5 deals and LP statement disagree | Daily three-way reconciliation by deal ID, volume and price |
| Duplicate clients across platforms | One person with two CRM profiles | CRM master rule, unique IDs, single sign-on settings |
| Migration data errors | Wrong balances or positions after moving accounts | Export/import format; Match-Trade's February 2026 release added import-ready exports for Manager 2.0 |
For MetaTrader-side errors see MetaTrader common errors and forex server troubleshooting.
What does FXSUPPORT do, and what stays with Match-Trade?
Match-Trade builds and supports its own products. FXSUPPORT works on the broker's side: MetaTrader administration, mapping, testing, monitoring, CRM and plugin work. Match-Trade is one of the technologies we work with, alongside others such as PrimeXM XCore, oneZero Hub and FIX API connections.
MetaTrader side
MT5 groups, symbols, sessions and gateway settings, server updates and backups, log monitoring, and plugin conflicts. See MT5 support.
Bridge and liquidity
LP onboarding over FIX, symbol mapping sheets, A-Book/B-Book/hybrid routing design, hedge rules and three-way reconciliation.
Risk operations
End-of-day and evening reports, toxic-flow lists, and session, DST and holiday schedule checks. See forex risk management.
CRM, plugins and APIs
Manager API and Web API integrations, server and manager plugins, CRM connectors and payment gateway integration.
Infrastructure
Servers in the UK and the Netherlands, monitoring with a 99.9% uptime target, and DDoS and security hardening. See MetaTrader server hosting.
Prop firms
Prop-trading platform setup, challenge rules on MT5, and copy trading or MAM/PAMM where needed. See MAM/PAMM setup.
Match-Trade also offers MT4/MT5 hosting and describes 24/7 support via messengers. If you use it, we work alongside its team on the parts you keep in-house, with a written split of who changes which setting.
Cost depends on the products you license, the number of LPs, symbols and MT5 groups, your CRM, the testing scope and ongoing monitoring. Match-Trade's published bridge terms are "a simple flat fee" with "no turnover-based fees", and free use with its recommended LPs. FXSUPPORT does not publish prices. We quote after the free technical review.
How do you choose between the Match-Trade bridge and other bridges?
Choose a bridge with your own data: compare execution, the risk tools you will use, LP support, fee model and support, with the same test for every candidate.
- LP coverage: check that your current and planned LPs are supported. Match-Trade names LMAX, CFH and Currenex among FIX-compliant LPs.
- Risk granularity: can you hedge by group, account and instrument, and by percentage? Is there exposure monitoring against LP accounts?
- Fee model: flat fee vs volume-based fees, and what changes if you leave the recommended LPs.
- MT5 footprint: gateway versus plugin, and what has to be installed or changed on your MT5 server.
- Exit plan: how quickly can you route back to another bridge if needed?
We also integrate PrimeXM XCore and oneZero Hub. The fairest comparison is a parallel test on low-volume groups, comparing fills, rejects and slippage. Still choosing between your own MT5 server and a white label? See MetaTrader white label and forex broker solutions.
