April 24, 2026 · By Marcus Chen

New operator launches in 2026 are choosing cTrader at unprecedented rates, according to CobraSight's platform tracker.

Among prop firms launched in 2026, cTrader has become the platform of choice for over 30% of new entrants — a record high.

Operators cite execution quality, native API access, and improved white-label tooling as primary drivers.

MetaTrader 5 remains dominant overall, but its share of new launches has slipped from 71% in 2024 to 52% so far this year.
