Ex cTrader Exec James Glyde Starts Prop Firm PipFarm

Fazzaco learned that James Glyde, a former longtime executive at Spotware Systems, the developer of the widely used cTrader trading platform, has started a new brand in the prop trading space, named PipFarm.

The new prop firm will be domiciled in Singapore, and will operate on the cTrader platform.

James, CEO of PipFarm, has over a decade of experience at the forefront of the online trading industry, having worked alongside established brokers and prop firms, such as TopFX, Scandinavian Markets and Nordic Funder.

He spent six years at Spotware, where he joined as Business Development Manager, then rose to Chief Commercial Officer.

"After several months of development and weeks of beta testing, we have the most stable and tested cTrader integration," said James. "Our deep understanding of the funded trader space and state-of-the-art proprietary technology, combined with the exceptional capabilities of cTrader, equips us to offer a supportive environment where traders can thrive."

This launch comes amid the upheaval in the prop trading space, when industry firms have been striking by the tightened regulations. In response, a batch of companies have migrate operations to the cTraderplatform, such as The Funded Trader​, MyFundedFX, Funding Pips​, True Forex Funds, and Smart Prop Trader​.
