TradeLocker for prop firms: pricing, integration and costs

What TradeLocker is

TradeLocker is a trading platform for brokers and prop firms. Its website highlights charting powered by TradingView, risk tools such as stop loss and take profit with a built-in risk calculator, on-chart trading, and layouts that stay in sync across desktop and mobile. According to its prop firm integration page, traders reach it on web, desktop, iOS, Android and the Huawei App Gallery.

TradeLocker is a platform, not a full prop firm stack. It does not replace your CRM, trader dashboard or payment setup. Instead, it connects to them.

How a prop firm gets access

A prop firm licenses TradeLocker directly. The integration page describes four steps: TradeLocker reviews your requirements and issues API keys, you build and test in a testing environment, TradeLocker sets up your trading environment to your configuration, and you switch to production. It connects firms with bridges, CRM solutions, automation tools and trade copiers through its partner network, and lets you configure commissions, swaps, leverage, spreads and markups by instrument and user group.

The published prop firm pricing has two plans:

• Starter. Up to 500 active accounts, no setup fee, all TradeLocker features on web, mobile and desktop, cloud hosting included, and a listing on the TradeLocker Hub. A minimum monthly fee applies when active accounts are below 500.
• Custom. For firms scaling beyond 500 active accounts, with tiers that lower the cost per account as volume grows.

Optional add-ons include competition accounts and cluster separation, meaning an exclusive server and database.

Strengths and trade-offs

• Published prices and no setup fee. You can budget the platform before a sales call.
• Pricing follows active accounts. TradeLocker says you pay for accounts that actually trade, so cost tracks activity rather than signups.
• Hosting is included. Cloud infrastructure is part of the Starter plan.
• You assemble the rest. Your CRM, challenge logic, trader dashboard and payments come from other vendors and connect by API. That gives you choice, and it means more integration work and more vendors to manage.
• Rule enforcement needs checking. Confirm where your drawdown and daily loss rules are enforced: in TradeLocker's risk settings, in your CRM, or in a separate risk engine.

Questions to ask TradeLocker

• Which CRMs already have a working integration, and who maintains it?
• Where are my challenge rules enforced, and how quickly is a breach acted on?
• Which countries can I serve, and how are restricted countries handled?
• What counts as an active account for billing, and what is the minimum monthly fee?
• Is the mobile app under my brand or under TradeLocker's?
• Can I export all trader and trade data if I leave?

What it costs

TradeLocker Prop Starter is $3,000 a month, checked in September 2026, with no setup fee. The cost table on this page links to the source. Your CRM and processing are extra. To add them up with the rest of your launch budget, use the launch cost calculator.

Where Prop Firm Studios fits

Prop Firm Studios does not build trading technology and has no reseller or referral arrangement with TradeLocker. On the Full Scale plan, we help a client choose a platform (for CFD firms, MT5 (through a license holder), cTrader, Match-Trader, TradeLocker or DXtrade; for futures firms, Rithmic, Tradovate, NinjaTrader or ProjectX), then set up and integrate the providers they choose, including the CRM connection, payments and KYC. The client pays every provider directly. Compare TradeLocker with MT5, cTrader, Match-Trader and DXtrade on the tech stack overview, or read how to start a prop firm in 2026.
