Centroid Solutions is proud to announce PropShield, the industry’s first centralized intelligence platform built specifically for proprietary trading firms running funded trader programs. Developed in collaboration with a committed community of leading prop firms, PropShield is designed to identify and combat the rise of fraudulent trading behaviors that exploit challenge rules for unfair advantage.
Protecting Prop Firms from Cross-Firm Fraud
As evaluation-based funding models grow in popularity, so do the strategies of those seeking to game the system. From cross-firm hedging and latency arbitrage to coordinated multi-account manipulation using social platforms like Telegram, the risks have grown too complex for firms to tackle alone.
PropShield provides a secure, anonymized, and standardized environment where firms contribute trade metadata and trader identity signals – such as device fingerprints, behavioral patterns, and PnL deltas – to a shared intelligence layer. This platform analyzes millions of trade records in real time using machine learning to:
· Detect Cross-Firm Fraud: Identify suspicious trading behaviors in real-time, including hedging, copy-trading and multi-account abuse.
· Access Shared Trader Signals: Utilize anonymized identity signals to uncover patterns of abuse across multiple firms without compromising privacy.
· Strengthen Risk Management: Leverage actionable risk dashboards, alerts, and reputation scores to make informed decisions and protect their capital.
Uniting Firms to Tackle Industry-Wide Challenges
“Fraudulent activities are no longer isolated to one firm – they’re a shared industry challenge” said Cristian Vlasceanu, CEO at Centroid Solutions. “PropShield isn’t just a tool; it’s an alliance. A place where firms come together to protect their business and elevate true trading talent.”
While each subscriber retains control of its data, they gain access to a detailed risk dashboard, leveraging PropShield to act as the single source of truth, breaking the silos that have allowed abuse to flourish.
Be Part of the PropShield Community
The platform is currently onboarding its first wave of firms. Due to the complexity of integration and the depth of support provided, early access is limited. Interested firms are encouraged to express interest now and join the dialogue shaping the future of fair and transparent prop trading.
