Blue Chip Broker

Built to give Prop Number One a direct route to trading infrastructure.

I acquired the South African company in April 2025 and structured it as a CFD broker to provide MetaTrader 5 and trading-platform infrastructure to Prop Number One clients. I sold my interest and exited in January 2026. It was never launched as a standalone public retail brand.

Bring the infrastructure closer to the business.

I built the project around a specific operating need: give Prop Number One clients access to the trading-platform infrastructure behind the service. I acquired a South African CAT 1 licensed company as the starting point for a CFD-broker operation, with onboarding, internal risk and a bespoke CRM developed around that purpose. This describes a historical project, not an offer of current trading services.

The build.

    I acquire the South African company

    I acquired a South African company with a CAT 1 licence in April 2025 as the basis for the CFD-broker project.

  2. BUILD PHASE

    I connect the operation

    I renamed the company, completed compliance onboarding, managed internal broker risk and directed the build of a CRM to support the operation.

    I sold my interest and exited in January 2026. I no longer own or operate the broker.

The operating stack.

01

Trading-platform access

The planned platform offer included MT5, cTrader and MatchTrader. Intended commercial terms included a raw commission of $3.50 per lot and spreads from 0.9 pips. These were planned terms, not a current offer or guaranteed market conditions.

02

Managed-account tools

PAMM, MAMM and copy trading formed part of the planned offer. The broker was never launched as a standalone public retail brand.

03

Compliance onboarding

I completed compliance onboarding as part of the operational setup following acquisition of the South African company.

04

Internal risk operations

I managed internal broker risk within the project’s operating context.

05

A bespoke CRM

I directed the build of a CRM to support the broker operation and its trading-infrastructure purpose for Prop Number One.

Built for a live operating context.

The operation supported Prop Number One’s trading-infrastructure needs. Historical project figures recorded over 500 clients and more than $1 million in deposits. The broker was never launched as a standalone public retail brand.
