Start a prop firm. Run it for free.
TradeCore is prop firm CRM and software for new prop firms and firms switching platforms: challenges, trader verification, challenge fees, the trader portal, partners and payouts on one client record. TradeCore's free plan runs one challenge template on sale with no time limit.
100+ brokerages run on TradeCore, including MultiBank Group, AvaTrade, IC Markets, FP Markets and Trade Nation.
What software does a prop firm need?
A prop firm needs more than a challenge engine. The trader who buys a challenge is verified, charged, given a trading account, shown their progress and paid when funded — and the partner who sent them is credited. TradeCore runs all of it on one client record.

Put it on sale
A template goes on sale in your Challenge Store only when someone activates it.
Bring the platform you trade on. A prop firm connects its own MT4, MT5, cTrader, DXtrade, MatchTrader, TradeLocker, ScaleTrade or TraderEvolution server to TradeCore with its own credentials, and the platform goes live once they are entered.
How does a trader buy a challenge?
Traders buy challenges in your branded client portal: the Challenge Store, a checkout with add-ons, coupons and your own payment providers, then My Challenges, where they follow every phase against its limits.
1 · Challenge Store
The Challenge Store lists your challenges with filters, in your branded client portal.
2 · Checkout
At checkout a trader adds add-ons, applies a coupon and pays through your own payment providers.
3 · Verification
The trader is verified on the same client record — manual review on TradeCore's free plan, or a connected eKYC provider on Core.
4 · My Challenges
My Challenges shows each phase's balance, P&L, trading days, progress against its limits and every violation with its value and limit.
Your fees, your providers. A prop firm on TradeCore takes challenge fees through its own payment providers — from 100+ PSPs and 300+ payment methods — and verifies traders with manual review or SumSub, Onfido, Cellbunq, GBG and ComplyAdvantage.
What happens when a trader breaks a rule or passes?
Every breach creates a violation record with the value detected and the limit it broke. Traders who pass move to a funded account, and payouts run every 7, 14 or 30 days or on demand.
One trader, one record

The rulebook lives in Prop Trading. On TradeCore's Core plan, the full Prop Trading module adds TradeCore's MT5 prop plugin, which enforces the rules on the trading server.
Can partners sell your challenges?
Introducing brokers earn a Prop Challenge commission on the challenges their referred traders buy — one of the IB Suite's three commission categories, on TradeCore's Core plan. Campaign tracking links can point straight at your Challenge Store.

Questions from prop firms
What founders and prop firm operators ask before they move to TradeCore.
TradeCore's free plan runs Prop Trading's basic edition at €0, with one challenge template on sale. Core is €2,500 a month, flat, and the full Prop Trading module — every template on sale at once, plus TradeCore's MT5 prop plugin — is €1,500 a month on Core. There are no per-trader, per-trade or setup fees.
Yes — TradeCore runs your prop firm under your own brand: your client portal, your domain and your Challenge Store, with traders seeing your firm's name. TradeCore is the software; the firm's capital and any licence it needs stay the firm's own.
Prop evaluations run on all eight trading platforms integrated with TradeCore: MT4, MT5, cTrader, DXtrade, MatchTrader, TradeLocker, ScaleTrade and TraderEvolution. On MT5, the full Prop Trading module on Core adds TradeCore's own prop plugin, which enforces the rules on the trading server.
Yes. A prop firm moving onto the BrokerIQ CRM core migrates with zero data loss: client records, trading history, KYC documents and communication logs all come across. A firm that wants to keep its current CRM for now can run Prop Trading standalone beside it on TradeCore's Core plan, quoted separately.
