Spotware Systems has reported successful performance results for its cTrader mobile platform in China, following an extensive evaluation campaign. The testing confirmed that cTrader runs reliably across all major Chinese telecom networks, without requiring a VPN, positioning it as one of the few global trading platforms able to offer seamless access within the region.
The company said the results validated long-term infrastructure investments designed to support high-load environments and bypass regional connectivity challenges. cTrader was tested under multiple conditions across different regions and internet service providers, including China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom. According to Spotware, the mobile app demonstrated stable access, fast execution speeds, and consistent connectivity aligned with its internal benchmarks.
“Heavy-load performance is the ultimate benchmark of any platform”
The platform’s availability in China without VPN usage was highlighted as a key differentiator. Spotware coordinated benchmark tests through community partners in the region to verify that users could operate cTrader with full functionality, including algorithmic trading via free cloud execution and social trading through cTrader Copy.
Ilia Iarovitcyn, CEO of Spotware Systems, commented, “Heavy-load performance is the ultimate benchmark of any platform. The results validate our long-term commitment to infrastructure excellence and our adherence to Traders First™ principles. We are proud to offer a platform that is not only fast and stable but engineered to excel in any environment.”
Spotware credited its results to a network of infrastructure partnerships that enhance connectivity, allowing the cTrader platform to maintain low latency and reliability in one of the most restrictive internet environments globally. The company added that while many platforms experience degraded performance or fail to connect without VPNs in mainland China, cTrader operates with full functionality and stability.
This technical performance aligns with recent updates in cTrader 5.2, which introduced new risk-reward analysis tools, improved automation for price alerts via API, and user interface refinements aimed at better transparency and broker-side control. The release continues cTrader’s push to offer institutional-grade trading functionality while supporting brokers and prop firms through tailored features.
Spotware also pointed to recent awards as evidence of the platform’s global recognition, including being named Best Trading Platform by Finance Magnates in 2025.
The company’s broader strategy includes promoting cTrader as an Open Trading Platform™ with over 100 third-party integrations, and a developer-friendly ecosystem through the cTrader Store. The platform currently supports over 8 million traders globally and offers monetization paths for algorithm developers and IB solutions for brokers.
With China confirmed as a fully supported territory without the use of VPNs, Spotware said it expects growing interest from brokers targeting the Asia-Pacific region. The performance tests are seen as a signal to regulated brokers and prop trading firms that the platform meets both technical and regulatory demands in tightly controlled digital markets.
cTrader’s infrastructure-first approach and its Traders First™ philosophy have become central to its expansion strategy as Spotware continues to push for broader adoption across institutional and retail brokerage segments.
