Our Story
A Broker Built on Decades of Institutional Experience.
NextTrade was founded by operators who spent their careers inside the industry's biggest names — and saw what needed to change.
Why We Built NextTrade.
The retail trading industry has a trust problem. Opaque pricing, hidden fees, slow withdrawals, and execution that favours the house over the client. After more than 15 years working inside the largest brokerages and prop firms in the world, our founding team knew there was a better way.
NextTrade was born from a simple idea: build the broker we wished existed when we were trading. One that publishes every cost upfront, routes orders without a dealing desk, pays out withdrawals on time, and treats a $50 account with the same respect as a $50,000 one.
Our leadership team brings direct experience from IG Markets, Capital.com, and FunderPro — three of the most recognised names in online trading. That background shaped how we think about infrastructure, compliance, and client experience. We have seen what works, what fails, and what traders actually need.
Backed by FunderPro with decades of experience in financial services, NextTrade launched in 2026 from our headquarters in Ebene, Mauritius. We are not a white-label startup with a rented platform — we are operators building a broker from the ground up, with the conviction that the industry can do better.

Our Mission.
Everything we build is measured against three non-negotiable principles.
Transparency First
Every spread, every commission, every fee is published and visible before you trade. No hidden markups, no misleading advertising, no fine print that changes the deal. We believe traders deserve to know exactly what they are paying — and we make that non-negotiable.
Execution Without Compromise
Sub-millisecond order routing. No dealing desk. No re-quotes. No artificial delays. Our infrastructure is built to route your orders to liquidity providers at the best available price, every single time. Execution quality is not a marketing claim — it is our engineering obsession.
Access for Every Trader
Whether you are depositing $50 or $50,000, you get the same execution quality, the same platform access, and the same support. We built NextTrade to remove the barriers that exclude retail traders from institutional-grade conditions.
Regulatory Framework.
NextTrade Ltd is regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius under licence number GB25204563, registration number 223260. We are committed to full compliance with the regulatory requirements of every market we serve. Client funds are held in segregated bank accounts with MauBank Ltd at all times, and we maintain negative balance protection on every account type.
