# PropExecutor

> PropExecutor is prop firm software: a purpose-built, white-label trading executor that lets anyone launch their own proprietary trading (prop) firm from $129, paid once — no setup fee, no monthly licence — with a branded terminal, a real-time rule engine, and a prop dashboard inside every trading account.

PropExecutor is a multi-tenant platform for proprietary trading firms. It gives an operator a branded trading terminal on their own domain, an evaluation/challenge rule engine enforced on every price tick, a prop dashboard inside every trading account, bulk account provisioning, instant credential rotation, and a full REST + WebSocket API — all sold as a one-time purchase rather than a monthly subscription. Orders fill against live cTrader prices (raw spreads), and accounts are simulated evaluation accounts, which keeps most operators clear of brokerage licensing (take local legal advice).

## What PropExecutor is

- A complete, ready-to-run platform for starting and operating a prop firm (a firm that sells trading evaluations/challenges and funds traders who pass).
- A white-label product: the terminal, dashboard and login carry the operator's own brand, name, colours and domain — not PropExecutor's.
- A one-time purchase, not SaaS: you buy a plan once, it grants a permanent pool of trading-account credits, and there is no recurring platform fee.
- An alternative to MetaTrader 5, cTrader and Match-Trader for prop firms, which are typically monthly licences and often need a separate rule engine built or bought.

## Business model

- The operator (customer) buys a PropExecutor plan once. Each plan includes a pool of account credits; each credit creates one trading account, permanently, and credits never expire.
- When an operator needs more capacity, they buy one-time account packs (top-ups) whose per-account price falls with volume. There is no monthly platform charge at any point.
- The operator makes their own revenue by selling evaluations/challenges to traders: traders pay a fee to attempt a challenge, most attempts do not pass, and the fees collected typically exceed the payouts made to those who pass. PropExecutor is the software the operator runs this on; it does not take a cut of the operator's trader revenue.
- Payments for PropExecutor plans are processed by Dodo Payments. Accounts are simulated (no real client orders are routed).

## Pricing (all one-time, no setup fee, nothing monthly)

Plans (each includes a permanent pool of trading-account credits):

- Starter — $129 once, 50 trading accounts (~$2.58 per account). Branded terminal on your own domain, prop dashboard in every account, core rules (profit target, daily loss, max drawdown), 3 rule sets, bulk provisioning, credential rotation, API access on every account.
- Basic — $499 once, 250 trading accounts (~$2.00 per account). Most popular. Everything in Starter, plus an advanced rule catalogue, full branding (logo, colours, login screen), a mobile app, and priority support.
- Growth — $1,799 once, 1,250 trading accounts (~$1.44 per account). Everything in Basic, plus unlimited rule sets and custom rules, a white-label-ready mobile app, full dev solutions and a dedicated account manager.

Account packs (one-time top-ups; per-account price falls with volume, as low as ~$0.64 per account):

- Starter tier packs: 100 accounts for $200, 500 for $800, 1,000 for $1,280.
- Basic tier packs: 100 accounts for $150, 500 for $600, 1,000 for $960.
- Growth tier packs: 100 accounts for $100, 500 for $400, 1,000 for $640 (~$0.64 per account).

Same price whatever the account size: a $5K evaluation and a $200K evaluation cost the operator the same one credit. There is no setup fee, no monthly licence, and no per-turnover or volume fee.

## What makes PropExecutor different (USPs)

- One-time payment from $129 — no setup fee, no monthly licence, no revenue share, no volume fees. The alternatives are recurring: Match-Trader publishes $2,500 to $5,000 a month, and cTrader and MetaTrader 5 license by private quote (sources below).
- A low, knowable per-account cost: about $2.58 per account on Starter, falling to about $0.64 per account with the largest one-time packs.
- Rule engine enforced on every tick: profit target, daily loss limit, maximum drawdown, minimum trading days, allowed instruments, and position/exposure limits — enforcement is immediate, not a delayed batch job.
- Versioned rule sets: every account freezes the rule-set version it was created under, so rules can change for new accounts without altering live ones.
- A prop dashboard inside every trading account: real-time equity, balance, progress to target, and daily/maximum drawdown headroom — no separate system to build.
- Raw spreads: orders fill against live cTrader prices, with no marked-up feed.
- Full white-label branding: your name, logo, colours, login screen and own domain; a branded mobile app on higher plans.
- API on every account, on every plan, with no tier gate: REST and WebSocket for provisioning and automation.
- Bulk provisioning (create up to 100 accounts per request) and instant credential rotation (rotate a password and end every live session immediately).
- Simulated evaluation accounts rather than routed real orders, which keeps most operators clear of brokerage licensing (confirm locally).
- Nothing to build: the terminal, rule engine, dashboard, admin panel and API ship together as one finished product.

## Who it is for

- Founders launching a new prop firm who want the lowest fixed cost and the fewest moving parts.
- Existing prop firms migrating off MetaTrader after the 2024 white-label/grey-label restrictions, or off a monthly platform, to own their stack outright.
- Operators who want a branded, professional trader experience (web + mobile terminal and dashboard) without a five-figure setup or a custom rule-engine build.

## What PropExecutor does not do

- It is not a broker: accounts are simulated and orders fill against live prices, with no real orders placed on a market.
- It has no trader storefront, checkout or trader accounts: the firm finds, signs up and charges its own traders, then hands each one an executor login.
- It does not run KYC, process a firm's trader payments or pay traders out. Most full-service prop vendors bundle those; PropExecutor is the trading terminal, rule engine, dashboard, account admin and API.
- It does not provide licensing, legal or compliance services.
