The record · 2000—2026
Markets changed. Products multiplied. The engine kept moving forward. Scroll through the milestones that brought ActTrader from a browser-based trading app to a connected fintech platform.
2000 Origin
Capital markets technology still belonged to banks. ActTrader launched a Java-based trading application that brought institutional-grade execution into a browser and put global markets within reach of independent firms.
2002—04 Beyond the browser
A full desktop application arrived in 2002. In 2004, ActTrader introduced WAP-based mobile trading, years before app stores existed.
2007 The engine
Straight-through processing became the core behind ultra-fast execution. The engine filling orders today traces directly to this work; each new product and asset class has been built on top of it.
2008—15 New capabilities
PayPal processing and an MT4 bridge expanded connectivity. Full charting, visual algo tools, an FXApps store, early crypto feeds and social trading arrived in successive years.

2021—25 Product expansion
New interfaces rolled out across trading applications. Blockmaze launched a full exchange powered by ActTrader, with spot, margin and perpetuals. Investment products expanded, alongside prop capital and funded-account infrastructure.

2026 AI-native
ActCharts, built in-house, is open source and available as a free npm package. ActAI answers questions from the live ledger in plain English and can turn strategy ideas into ActFX, the platform’s own language. The assistant works across desktop, web and mobile.
“We didn’t follow the FinTech wave.
We built the tide brokers still ride today.”
