Key Insights

  • OANDA is transitioning its proprietary trading division, OANDA Prop Trader, into the FTMO Group following FTMO’s acquisition of OANDA last year.
  • Active clients will be offered incentives to migrate to FTMO’s platform starting March 2, 2026, with full refunds available for those who decline.
  • The transition concludes March 31, 2026, allowing OANDA to refocus on its core brokerage operations.

Global brokerage OANDA announced today that its proprietary trading division, OANDA Prop Trader, will transition into the FTMO Group, marking a strategic shift following FTMO’s acquisition of OANDA last year.

The move represents what the company described as a planned phase designed to provide clients with a more specialised trading environment. By integrating OANDA Prop Trader into FTMO’s dedicated infrastructure, the firm aims to offer clients access to enhanced prop trading capabilities while streamlining its own operational focus.

Under the arrangement, OANDA will step back from direct proprietary trading operations and instead concentrate on its core brokerage services. At the same time, the company will continue supporting FTMO Group’s broader vision for the future of active trading.

Clients Offered Migration Incentives Ahead of March Deadline

Lucian Lauerman, Deputy COO at OANDA, said the transition reflects confidence in FTMO’s infrastructure and expertise.

We are incredibly proud of the client value delivered by OANDA Prop Trader,” Lauerman said. “The successful transition into the FTMO Group allows our prop trading clients to benefit from the world’s most advanced infrastructure and specialised expertise. This move ensures that our clients are offered an enhanced prop trading experience while allowing OANDA to double down on our core mission of providing exceptional brokerage services to global traders.

The migration process has been structured to minimise disruption. Active OANDA Prop Trader clients will be offered exclusive incentives to move to FTMO’s platform, with OANDA beginning coordinated client outreach from March 2, 2026. The company said it will work closely with each trader to ensure continued support throughout the transition period.

Clients who opt to transfer will gain access to FTMO’s industry-leading platform. Those who choose not to migrate will be eligible for full refunds, where applicable.

The formal transition period is scheduled to conclude on March 31, 2026, marking the final step in integrating OANDA’s proprietary trading operations into the FTMO Group structure.
