Sterling Trading Tech Secures Client Agreement with PropShop Trader for Equities Expansion

Subscribe to our newsletter

Sterling Trading Tech (Sterling) has announced a new client agreement with PropShop Trader (PropShop), a multi-asset proprietary trading firm. PropShop has selected Sterling’s OMS 360 platform to support its strategic expansion into equities as a second asset class alongside its existing futures offering. The decision was driven by anticipated Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rule changes, which PropShop views as a significant market opportunity.

PropShop chose the platform due to its advanced equities trading capabilities, reputation among brokers, and specialized technology tailored to the operational requirements of proprietary trading firms. Sterling OMS 360 provides native, real-time enforcement of both Regulation T and Portfolio Margin requirements across the entire order lifecycle. This capability allows firms to proactively manage risk, prevent margin violations, and reduce exposure to regulatory breaches before orders enter the market.

Unlike competing solutions that rely on post-trade checks or partial controls, the platform delivers full lifecycle margin enforcement across Excess, SMA, PDT, and Portfolio Margin requirements. This real-time enforcement is built to align with evolving SEC and FINRA regulatory standards, giving firms confidence when deploying sophisticated trading strategies in fast-moving market environments.
