Voting Now Open for Professional Trader Awards 2026

Recognising professional and active trading excellence, this year’s Professional Trader Awards continue to raise the profile of those brokers and trading providers delivering outstanding products and services for professional and active traders, with a list of the highest calibre nominees.

With the voting period now open, awards organiser, Holiston Media, is calling on the industry to vote for the best in the business across 25 key categories that recognise that today’s sophisticated trading market extends beyond those holding formal professional-client status. 

The awards also recognise those brokers holding formal professional-client status, giving experienced, high-volume and active traders insight on the best advanced trading platforms, including those with the most competitive pricing, superior execution, sophisticated tools and a higher level of service.

With votes being collected until 21st October, this year’s Professional Trader Awards are looking to celebrate the brokers, platforms, technology providers and service companies driving innovation and raising standards across the professional and active trading industry.

From exceptional execution and advanced trading technology to competitive trading conditions and outstanding client service, the awards recognise businesses delivering the products, tools and trading environments demanded by today’s most active and experienced traders.

The 25 featured categories are spread across four key areas: Professional Client Awards, Active Trader Awards, Trading Experience & Performance and Specialist Awards. Categories cover areas including trading technology and performance tools, trading conditions, accounts and execution, margin rates, loyalty programmes and client relationship services. 

Archie Humphries, Director of Holiston Media, comments: “The Professional Trader Awards continue to gain high levels of interest every year. This year we are pleased to see nomination numbers as high as ever, with the leading companies in this space getting fully behind the awards.”

“Our awards recognise businesses that understand the needs of both professional clients and serious active traders. We’re excited to see who comes out on top this year.”

Voting takes place from 1st–21st October, with the 2026 winners announced on Wednesday 2nd December.

This year’s Professional Trader Awards are supported by EBC Financial Group, StoneX Trading and Trade Nation.
