cTrader x Vertex1 Brokers: Building for the Global South

cTrader has partnered with Vertex1 Brokers, a broker building financial infrastructure for emerging markets. For Vertex1 traders, the partnership opens access to a premium trading platform renowned for setting new standards of transparency and innovation in the industry.

The partnership with cTrader supports Vertex1’s goal to connect traders across Africa, Asia and the Global South with trading technology designed for both individuals and trading communities. Vertex1 Brokers clients can now operate in a powerful trading environment with advanced native charting, free cloud execution for algo trading, as well as native C# and Python support for algo developers.

With a focus on improving the quality of trading across emerging markets, Vertex1 Brokers can extend its reach through the cTrader Leads programme. The programme connects Vertex1 Brokers with a global community of traders who are already exploring trading products, at no extra cost. In addition, Vertex1 can attract more mobile traders through the AppsFlyer SDK – an integration allowing brokers to launch, track and optimise ad campaigns on their branded cTrader mobile apps.

Roy Sherban, CEO of Vertex1 Brokers, commented: "We built Vertex1 to bridge the gap between institutional liquidity and emerging market accessibility. Every trader, whether in Nairobi or Singapore, deserves the same calibre of execution, transparency and trust."

Yiota Hadjilouka, COO of Spotware Systems, added: “Vertex1 Brokers is building in markets where traders are becoming more active, more ambitious and more demanding of the technology they use. Through this partnership, cTrader can help improve the quality of trading for clients across Africa, Asia and the Global South. We are delighted to help Vertex1 Brokers bring best-in-class trading technology into markets where better infrastructure can have a lasting impact.”
