Spotware, developer of the popular cTrader platform, has announced the release of cBroker 9.5, the latest version of its comprehensive back-office solution for brokers. Building on the momentum of version 9.4, which introduced major upgrades like symbol split functionality and advanced risk features, this release introduces powerful features such as ultra-high leverage settings, bulk force-closure of positions and margin bypass options, further enhancing broker control over risk, compliance and client account management in fast-paced environments.

What’s new in cBroker 9.5

Brokers can now bypass margin and balance checks when performing balance operations, offering greater flexibility in account management. The update also allows managers to assign a maximum leverage of up to 10,000 for selected users and introduces a new bulk action to quickly force-close all open positions on an account. Additional improvements include the ability to move open positions between books, transfer settings across group profiles and update manager names with ease:

Skipping margin and balance checks

cBroker 9.5 introduces a new “Skip margin and balance check” feature, allowing brokers to carry out balance operations even when an account’s margin level is below 100% or its balance is insufficient. When enabled in the “Deposit/Withdraw funds” window within the Accounts application, this option bypasses standard margin and balance validations. It provides brokers with increased flexibility and control, particularly in scenarios where strict margin or balance conditions would otherwise prevent action.

Setting higher maximum leverage

The latest version expands leverage customisation, allowing managers to set a user’s maximum leverage up to 10,000—up from the previous cap of 4,000. New preset options of 6,000, 7,000, 8,000 and 9,000 are now available in the “Account settings” section of the Accounts application. These updates offer brokers greater flexibility and precision in tailoring leverage settings to individual trading needs.

Keeping original book for symbol split

cBroker now includes a “Keep original book” option for symbol split operations, providing brokers with greater flexibility in stock management. When selected in the “Split” wizard, this feature ensures that open positions are closed and automatically reopened within the same book post-split. This helps maintain continuity in risk and liquidity management by preventing disruptions caused by moving positions between books.

Moving open positions across books

The new “Move book …” button in the Positions application allows brokers to transfer selected open positions between Book A and Book B. This feature is especially valuable for hedging purposes or closing positions through an alternative book when a liquidity provider rejects closure orders. Simplifying position transfers gives managers greater flexibility and control over risk management and operational workflows.

Bulk force-closing open positions

The new “Bulk force-close” button in the Accounts application enables brokers to instantly close all open positions for a specific user account. This feature is ideal for quickly responding to policy breaches or sudden market shifts, helping brokers manage risk effectively and maintain regulatory compliance.

Transferring settings across group profiles

The Group profiles application now features a “Transfer settings” button for all entities, including commission, leverage, volume, execution, GSL schedule, protection, swap-free and notification profiles. This tool allows managers to seamlessly copy specific settings from one profile to one or multiple others within the same tab, streamlining configuration and ensuring consistency across profiles.

Changing managers’ names

In version 9.5, managers can now edit the “Name” field directly within the Managers application. This enhancement makes it easy to update manager details in real time, especially useful when personnel changes occur within the same role, helping brokers maintain accurate and current staff records.

Enhancing UI readability in grids

cBroker 9.5 introduces alternating grey shades for consecutive grid rows across all lists and reports, enhancing visual clarity and readability. This UI enhancement reduces eye strain and makes it easier for managers to review data accurately, helping to minimise oversight and errors.

Irina Olyaeva, Product Manager for cBroker at Spotware said,

“With cBroker 9.5, we’re giving brokers the kind of granular control that today’s markets demand. Whether it’s the ability to assign leverage up to 10,000, force-close all positions with a single action or perform critical balance operations without margin constraints, every feature in this release was designed to make brokerage operations faster, more adaptable, and more precise. This goes beyond functionality – it’s about enabling brokers to respond decisively in real time, scale with confidence and tailor the trading experience to their exact business model.”
