Why NaxTrader
What the spec sheet doesn't tell you
Numbers on a comparison table only go so far. Here's the context behind why brokerages are making the switch.
No legacy pricing model
MetaTrader 5 licenses start at $10,000+/month. NaxTrader starts at $1,500/month with zero setup fee and no volume charges — ever.
Cloud-native from day one
MT5 and cTrader require on-premise server infrastructure. NaxTrader runs fully managed on AWS with 99.99% uptime SLA and zero-downtime deployments.
Live in 7 days, not 60
Traditional platform migrations take 30–60 days of server provisioning, data migration, and testing. NaxTrader onboarding is measured in days.
No new white-labels on MT5
MetaQuotes closed new white-label sales in 2022. NaxTrader actively accepts new brokerage clients with full white-label including mobile apps.
Switching
Migrating from MT4/MT5 or cTrader?
Our migrations team has done this dozens of times. We handle the heavy lifting so your clients never notice the move.
Discovery call
Discuss your current setup, client accounts, and go-live timeline.
Platform provisioned
Your white-labeled environment is live within 48 hours of signing.
Data migration
We assist with account and history migration from MT4/MT5 or cTrader.
Parallel run & cutover

All Plans
Everything included. No extras.
Unlike legacy platforms where every module is a separate license, NaxTrader includes the full platform. Your plan determines your account limits and SLA — not which features you can access.
