Another player down? SurgeTrader has officially ceased all operations as of Friday, according to an announcement from the company. The closure is because of an unresolved dispute with Match-Trade Technologies regarding terminating SurgeTrader’s license.
In a statement released by SurgeTrader, the firm expressed deep regret over the shutdown: “It is with deep regret that we announce that as of today, Friday, May 24, 2024, SurgeTrader has closed and ceased all operations. Despite all of our efforts this week to get Match Trade Technologies to further communicate in an effort to resolve our trading platform termination, we have been unsuccessful.”
It is a bit cryptic for a prop firm to close because of an unresolved dispute about a trading platform. Many prop firms offer different trading platforms and are still standing. Whereas SurgeTrader has closed all operations because its license was canceled by a single trading platform. Doesn’t it sound a bit odd?

However, details about the nature of the dispute between SurgeTrader and Match Trade Technologies remain sparse. SurgeTrader’s attempts to engage in dialogue with the technology provider have been met with silence, leading to the impasse that precipitated the announcement.
The proprietary trading sector is highly dependent on robust and reliable trading platforms. The termination of such a service without a clear resolution pathway can have devastating effects on firms like SurgeTrader.
The unexpected shutdown has left many traders in a state of uncertainty. SurgeTrader had built a reputation for supporting traders with its funding and resources, making the closure a big disruption in the community.
The firm has been grappling with the sudden termination of its trading platform by Match Trade Technologies. This termination effectively crippled SurgeTrader’s ability to facilitate trading activities.
As the situation unfolds, affected traders seek clarity and explore their options in the wake of SurgeTrader’s sudden shutdown. The broader impact on the proprietary trading industry remains to be seen, but the event shows the volatility and interconnectedness of technology and trading operations.
