The Fort Worth Press - TradersYard Shifts Focus to Futures Trading

The funding round, led by Andromeda Capital Partners Suisse AG, is supporting TradersYard’s next phase of growth, including the expansion of its futures offering and the development of its proprietary technology for B2B clients.

TradersYard is also among the first proprietary trading firms to hold its own CME data distribution license, giving the company greater control over its trading infrastructure and creating new opportunities as it expands its futures offering.

“This is an exciting next step for TradersYard. The rapid growth of our futures challenges has confirmed both the strength of this market and the demand from our community. By focusing our energy, technology and resources on futures, we can accelerate innovation and create an even better experience for traders.” – Manuel Sonnleithner, CEO of TradersYard

As part of this strategic shift, TradersYard will discontinue its FX/CFD challenges after 30 September 2026. The decision reflects the significant momentum the company has experienced in futures and its commitment to concentrating resources where it sees the greatest opportunity for growth and innovation.

At the same time, TradersYard is expanding beyond its direct-to-trader business. Having developed its entire proprietary trading technology stack in-house, the company is preparing its software platform for its first B2B clients, which are currently being onboarded.

The increased focus on futures also aligns TradersYard with Andromeda Capital Partners’ broader investments in capital markets and trading technology. Andromeda is also an investor in MetroTrade, a fast-growing US-based futures broker providing access to exchange-traded futures and options on futures. 

“We see significant opportunities emerging around futures trading globally. Through our investments in TradersYard and MetroTrade, we are approaching the market from different angles – from proprietary trading technology and trader development to regulated brokerage and access to exchange-traded markets. These are independent businesses, but they reflect our broader conviction that there is significant room for innovation in the futures industry. We are excited to support Manuel and the TradersYard team through this next phase of growth.” – Ingmar Mattus, Andromeda Capital Partners Suisse AG

A New Chapter, With the Door Open to Future Innovation

While futures will be the primary focus for the next phase of TradersYard’s growth, the company will continue exploring new technologies, products and trading models across the proprietary trading industry.

Building its technology entirely in-house gives TradersYard the flexibility to innovate quickly, develop new products and push the boundaries of what a modern prop trading platform can offer both traders and B2B partners.

“Innovation has always been central to TradersYard. Our immediate focus is futures, but we will continue looking for new ways to improve the prop trading experience and develop technology that moves the industry forward.” – Sagar Mule, Head of Product

With a growing futures community, fresh funding, proprietary technology and its own CME data distribution capabilities, TradersYard is entering its next stage of growth with a clear focus: building one of the most innovative and technology-driven futures trading platforms in the industry.
