Most trading platforms in production today were designed when "online trading" meant a Windows executable on a desktop PC. Everything since — web, mobile, app stores, streaming architectures — has been bolted on. eTrader starts from the opposite premise: a platform built this decade, web-native from the first line, where the terminal is a link you open rather than a program you install, and where the broker's dashboard, the copytrading engine, the community layer and the market-data feed are parts of one product rather than a federation of licences.
This is the complete tour — the suite, how firms get it, and what it costs — so you can judge eTrader against the legacy platforms it is built to replace.
eTrader in One Paragraph
eTrader is a web-native trading platform for brokers and prop firms — a cleaner, faster, more affordable alternative to MT4, MT5 and cTrader. Traders open a link and trade on web, desktop and native mobile apps; firms run it from eTrader Broker, a dashboard covering liquidity, routing, accounts, groups, leverage and instruments — with a 70ms-updated data feed included free, internal copytrading and a community layer built in. Fully managed on Singuard's worldwide clustered infrastructure: nothing to install, no servers to host, live in days.
The Suite, Product by Product
The Terminal: What Traders Touch
The trader-facing product is the terminal, on every screen:
- eTrader Web — the full terminal in any browser, installable as a desktop app; nothing between a new client and their first trade.
- eTrader iOS (coming soon) and eTrader Android (coming soon) — native apps in the App Store and on Google Play, so clients trade their account with you from their pocket.
- One account, synced — positions, balances and history identical on every device.
The terminal itself is built for work: real-time candles; professional charting with advanced drawing tools (trendlines, Fibonacci, channels, annotations) and a deep indicator library (moving averages, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands and many more) across multiple timeframes; one-tap order entry; live equity and P&L; market-hours awareness; and a light/dark theme that follows the trader's OS. Prices stream from the 70ms-updated feed, orders execute in milliseconds, and a global network routes every trader to the nearest point of presence — equally fast on every continent. Try it at eTrader Web, no signup wall in the way.
eTrader Broker: The Command Center
The firm-facing product is eTrader Broker — the dashboard from which you run everything:
- Liquidity management — connect and manage your LPs, and control spreads and markups per group.
- Data feeds — the included 70ms feed plus your own sources, managed per instrument.
- A-book / B-book routing — hedge orders to your LPs or internalise them, decided per group, per instrument and per trader, with exposure and P&L monitored live (see A-book vs B-book).
- Intelligent auto-routing — a risk engine scores every trader and order in real time, hedges profitable or high-risk flow, warehouses the rest, and switches dynamically as behaviour changes — a self-optimising book.
- Accounts, groups, leverage and instruments — full back-office control.
- CRM in 1 click — connect the Singuard Broker CRM or Prop Firm CRM, or plug in your own.
The Data Feed: Included, Not Invoiced
Legacy stacks treat market data as a separate monthly contract. eTrader includes a 70ms-updated data feed free — live prices from day one — while staying source-agnostic: plug in your own price sources per instrument whenever your liquidity strategy calls for it. The platform is multi-asset across forex, metals, indices and crypto.
eTrader Copytrading: Internal to Your Firm
Copytrading ships as a product in the suite, priced separately from $1,100/month — and its defining property is the word internal: the whole loop lives inside your broker's eTrader environment. Any of your traders can apply to publish a strategy with a live track record (equity curve, drawdown, win rate); followers pick a provider, set allocation and a risk multiplier, and trades mirror in real time. You approve providers, cap allocations and configure fees from eTrader Broker — a retention engine that grows your book, not a third-party network's (see broker retention strategies).
eTrader Community: The Layer That Keeps Traders Home
The Community puts traders' daily habits inside your terminal instead of someone else's tab: a news panel streaming market news next to the charts; an economic calendar with releases, forecasts and impact ratings where positions are managed; profiles, leaderboards and performance feeds for discovering and following other traders; and a Creators Studio for your best traders and analysts to publish ideas to your community. Attention is the leading indicator of deposits, and the Community keeps it under your brand.
Fully Managed: Hundreds of Servers, None of Them Yours
eTrader is backed by hundreds of servers worldwide, running in clusters — if one node has a problem, another takes over and your traders keep trading. Singuard runs, monitors and scales all of it; you host nothing, hire no tech team, and improvements roll out to your firm automatically. The full argument for this model is in starting a broker without a tech team.
Software only, clearly: Singuard builds, licenses and operates the platform — nothing else. Your firm holds its own licence, funds and compliance; brokers must be licensed, and onboarding is by approval with KYB and KYC verification for every operator.
Getting It: Four Steps, Days Not Months
Onboarding runs through eTrader Business, the self-serve portal: create your account, pass KYB and KYC (company documents plus signatory identity, uploaded once), receive your tailored pricing in the portal, and pay and go live — your eTrader Broker arrives with the terminal, copytrading and Community switched on. Prop firms can be live in as little as 24 hours, brokers included.
What It Costs
| eTrader for Brokers | eTrader for Prop Firms | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | From $6,600/month | From $3,300/month |
| Per trading account | Fee per account issued | Fee per account issued |
| Data feed | 70ms feed included free | 70ms feed included free |
| Terminal + Community | Included, every device | Included, every device |
| Copytrading | Available, from $1,100/month | — |
| Hosting | Included, fully managed | Included, fully managed |
No separate platform licence, no data-feed contract, no hosting bill — one predictable price at a fraction of legacy platform costs. Banks and hedge funds are quoted individually; your exact quote lands in your Business portal after KYB and KYC.
Where eTrader Fits in Your Stack
For a broker, eTrader pairs with the Broker CRM: accounts created from the client dashboard, balances streaming live into the CRM, withdrawals checked against free equity. For a prop firm, it pairs with the Prop Firm CRM, whose rules engine watches positions continuously to enforce drawdown, consistency and prohibited-strategy rules in near real time. And since the CRMs bridge in 1 click to MT4, MT5, cTrader, DXtrade, NinjaTrader, Match-Trader and TradeLocker, eTrader competes on merit, not lock-in — see eTrader vs legacy platforms for the head-to-head.
"eTrader is one answer to one question: what would trading technology look like if someone started over today, with no legacy to protect?"
— Alex Onta, Executive Director, eTrader & Prop Firm CRM

Frequently Asked Questions
Is eTrader a Replacement for MT4, MT5 or cTrader?
It's a modern alternative built for the same job — web-native, fully managed and a fraction of legacy cost. Because the Singuard CRMs bridge to legacy platforms in 1 click, you can adopt eTrader alongside or instead of them, on your own timeline.

Who Is eTrader For?
Brokers and prop firms first — with the platform sized and priced for each — plus banks and hedge funds under personalised terms. Every operator is vetted: brokers need a valid licence and prop firms a legal opinion on their model, because Singuard is software only and firms keep their own licensing, funds and compliance.
