Build Your Prop Firm in Days, Not Years: How CLEO Makes It Possible6 min read
The fastest, easiest, and most comprehensive solution for launching your own prop trading firm
Why Building a Prop Firm Was Nearly Impossible: Until Now
Launching a prop trading firm traditionally required millions in investment, years of development time, and expertise across multiple complex domains: trading platform development, risk management systems, market data integration, regulatory compliance, back-office operations, and trader onboarding systems.
Most entrepreneurs with great ideas for prop firms never got started because the technical barriers were insurmountable. Those who did attempt it often spent 2-3 years in development before seeing their first trader. If they made it that far.
CLEO has changed everything.
CLEO: The Complete Turnkey Solution for Prop Firm Entrepreneurs
Everything You Need, Nothing You Don’t
CLEO provides a fully customizable, white-label platform that includes every component needed to operate a professional prop firm:
Trading Platform: Advanced visual trading interface with drag-and-drop order management, multi-level take profits, and sophisticated risk controls – all designed specifically for prop trading.
Risk Management Engine: Real-time monitoring systems with configurable rules, automated guardrails, and compliance tracking that can be tailored to your exact evaluation criteria.
Market Data & Execution: We integrate access to crypto, forex, and stock market data with optimized execution routes – no need to negotiate with data providers or prime brokers. Of course we can include your custom data.
Back Office Operations: Complete trader management system including onboarding, performance analytics, account monitoring, payout processing and tracking of any issues.
Compliance & Monitoring: Built-in rule enforcement, drawdown tracking, and automated compliance checks that protect both your firm and your traders.
Fully Customizable to Your Vision
Unlike other solutions that force you into their business model, CLEO adapts to yours:
- Custom Evaluation Rules: Set your own profit targets, drawdown limits, trading days, and position sizing requirements
- Branded Experience: Complete white – label customization from logos and colors to domain names and user interfaces
- Flexible Instruments: Choose which markets to offer – crypto, forex, stocks, or any combination

- Risk Parameters: Configure leverage, maximum position sizes, and trading session restrictions to match your risk appetite
