Devexperts has launched a futures options module for brokers, integrating CME-listed contracts, multi-leg order execution, options chains and profit-and-loss analysis into its existing white-label trading platform.
Devexperts Launches Futures Options Module in July 2026
Munich-based trading technology provider Devexperts announced on 23 July 2026 that it had added futures options trading functionality to its brokerage platform. The module integrates futures options contracts listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) into its existing technology stack, marking the company’s formal entry into listed derivatives infrastructure.
This segment had previously been served primarily by institutional infrastructure providers such as Trading Technologies,CQGand Broadridge. Devexperts’ entry gives brokers an additional white-label option when selecting futures options technology.

Contract Categories Covered by the Module
According to the product information disclosed by Devexperts, the module initially covers three categories of CME-listed futures options:
Equity index futures options linked to CME equity index futures contract series;
Energy futures options covering underlying assets such as crude oil and natural gas;
Metals futures options, including contracts based on precious and industrial metals.
Functionality and Account-System Integration
The module is not a standalone terminal but is embedded within MetroTrader’s existing single-account interface. Brokers can provide end clients with access to futures options trading without independently developing the underlying matching and risk management components. Devexperts said the module delivers three core functions: options-chain displays, multi-leg order entry and a profit-and-loss analyser.
Multi-leg trading is the principal technical feature of the update. It allows traders to submit two or more options legs in a single instruction to construct strategies such as spreads, straddles and butterflies, without having to execute each leg separately.
Steps Available to Traders
Open the options chain for the target underlying asset within the single-account interface and filter contracts by expiry date and strike price;
Select a single-leg or multi-leg structure and configure the direction and quantity of each leg within the same instruction;
Use the profit-and-loss analyser to calculate the strategy’s theoretical profit and loss range at different underlying asset prices;
Submit the instruction and view consolidated futures and futures options positions and margin usage within the same account.

MetroTrade Becomes the First Deployment Client
US broker MetroTrade is the first client to deploy the functionality. Following implementation, MetroTrade’s retail clients can access CME-listed futures and futures options contracts through the broker’s web and mobile platforms.
Devexperts and MetroTrade had already established a technology partnership, and the latest solution was jointly developed by the two companies. MetroTrade President David Klotz commented on the development process:
"We built the infrastructure supporting this product from the ground up."

Comparison of Listed Derivatives Technology Providers
Before Devexperts entered the sector, futures options technology was largely supplied by established vendors focused on institutional clients. The table below outlines the positioning and key milestones of the principal providers.
| Provider | Primary Client Type | Futures Options Support | Key Milestone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Devexperts | Retail brokers through white-label solutions | Newly added, with MetroTrade as the first deployment client | Released on 23 July 2026 |
| Trading Technologies | Institutional and professional traders | Long-standing support | Available before the latest announcement |
| CQG | Institutions and futures brokers | Long-standing support | Acquired by Broadridge in 2025 |
| Broadridge | Institutions and brokerage back-office operations | Supported through the acquisition of CQG | Integrated following completion of the acquisition |
Differences in Competitive Positioning
Compared with the providers above, the Devexperts product is differentiated in the following ways:
It is delivered as a white-label module that brokers can activate within their existing platforms without replacing the trading terminal;
Its target client base is weighted towards retail brokers rather than traditional clients focused primarily on institutional proprietary trading and market making;
Futures and futures options use a single-account system, reducing the operational cost of switching between multiple terminals.
Devexperts’ Recent Product Expansion
The futures options module is not an isolated development. Devexperts has continued to expand its DXtrade white-label platform with several new capabilities, including a dedicated cryptocurrency front end, a complete copy-trading toolkit introduced through a partnership with Pelican, and the integration of DDXpro into the DXtrade vendor technology stack.
These developments indicate that the company is consolidating its product range around a "single platform supporting multiple asset classes" strategy. The addition of futures options extends its coverage from forex, contracts for difference and cryptoassets to listed derivatives.

Industry Implications of the Product Deployment
MetroTrade’s deployment gives Devexperts’ futures options product its first live reference client. For brokers, the module lowers the technological barrier to entering the futures options market. Infrastructure that previously required proprietary matching, margin calculation and portfolio risk management systems can now be obtained through a white-label module.
For end traders, the combination of multi-leg order entry and a profit-and-loss analyser means that strategy-execution capabilities previously available mainly through professional futures terminals are beginning to reach the web and mobile interfaces of retail brokers.
