‍

Recently featured in an exclusive interview hosted by Dealers Connect, our CEO Justin Hertzberg shares hard-won insights from powering the infrastructure behind over 150+ prop firms, generating $1B+ in challenge sales, and supporting 2 million+ unique users globally. This conversation goes far beyond the surface—covering platform disruptions, regulatory clarity, liquidity optimization, and the future of tech-driven prop trading.

If you operate in this space—or are considering entering it—this is not just another interview. It’s essential strategic guidance from one of the few voices shaping the global future of prop trading technology.

MetaQuotes Fallout: Preparedness Meets Proactivity

‍

One of the most urgent industry shakeups—the MetaQuotes platform restrictions—takes center stage early in the conversation. Justin provides context and clarity around MetaQuotes’ decision to sever support for many prop firm operators due to regulatory exposure, lack of monetization, and platform misuse concerns.

What sets FPFX Tech apart? Preparation.

Before the disruption took full effect, FPFX Tech had already integrated and deployed alternatives like DXTrade, Match-Trader, and cTrader, ensuring that trading continuity, execution quality, and user experience remained intact. This kind of infrastructure agility exemplifies why more than 150 prop firms trust FPFX Tech to future-proof their operations.

Real-Time Data, Real Capital, Real Results

‍

In a space saturated with undercapitalized operators, FPFX Tech continues to differentiate through:

• Live funded trading environments

• 100% payout rates on profitable white-label traders

• Real market execution

• Advanced backend analytics for risk and liquidity management

As Justin explains, data is at the core of FPFX Tech’s vision—for advanced risk modeling, dynamic hedging, and Alpha generation strategies. Enabling prop firms to monetize trade data creates an entirely new revenue stream and enables them to better attract traders and trade data through more enticing prop challenging offerings.

Scaling with Intelligence, Not Manpower

‍

Justin outlines the evolution from legacy prop firm operations—often manually intensive and inefficient—to the fully automated infrastructure FPFX Tech offers today.

“We proved that with the right automation, a small operator could scale as fast and as far as their marketing—not their manpower—would take them,” Justin shares. That thesis now underpins over 3 trillion dollars in monthly trading volume flowing through FPFX Tech infrastructure.

Whether you're launching your first firm or running a multi-brand prop ecosystem, this is the model that enables strategic scalability without sacrificing operational rigor.

Regulatory Environment: What’s Next

‍

With headlines swirling around regulatory pressure, Justin delivers rare clarity. He breaks down:

• Why the U.S. legal environment offers more predictability than panic

• How the CFTC/MyForexFunds case may set precedent—but not policy

• The legal structuring options for firms to remain compliant while offering global market access

• Why there’s still a long regulatory runway ahead, particularly in the U.S.

In a time when traders and operators alike are asking, “Will this model survive?”—this conversation offers much-needed assurance and strategic foresight.

Beyond the Challenge: What Makes PropAccount Stand Out

‍

PropAccount—FPFX Tech-powered white label prop firm—embodies the very principles Justin champions:

• Stable financial footing

• Live capital and robust risk management

• Tech-forward infrastructure

• Ethical payouts and real trading opportunities
