CHICAGO, May 19, 2026 – Sterling Trading Tech (Sterling), a global provider of advanced trading platforms, OMS technology, and risk solutions serving trading firms worldwide, today announced a client agreement with PropShop Trader (PropShop), a multi-asset proprietary trading firm focused on responsible risk evaluation and capital allocation.
PropShop selected Sterling to support its expansion into equities as a second asset class alongside futures, recognizing the market opportunity created by the anticipated PDT rule changes. PropShop specifically chose Sterling OMS 360 for its advanced equities trading capabilities, strong reputation among equities brokers, and superior technology offering compared to competing solutions. Sterling’s proven expertise supporting proprietary trading firms and their unique operational requirements further reinforced the decision. Sterling OMS 360 is the industry’s only order management system to provide native, real-time enforcement of both Reg T and Portfolio Margin requirements across the entire order lifecycle. Built to support evolving SEC and FINRA regulatory standards, Sterling OMS 360 helps firms proactively manage risk by preventing margin violations and reducing exposure to regulatory breaches before orders reach the market.
Unlike solutions that rely on partial controls or post-trade checks, Sterling OMS 360 delivers full lifecycle margin enforcement across Excess, SMA, PDT, and Portfolio Margin requirements in real time, giving firms greater confidence when deploying sophisticated trading strategies in fast-moving market environments.
Said Ashley Kozak, COO of PropShop: “Sterling’s strong reputation in the industry initially drew us in, but their onboarding process and team expertise quickly validated that decision. Their team brings deep industry knowledge and approaches each client as a unique case, ensuring solutions tailored to specific needs. That level of customization and partnership truly sets them apart.”
Said Jen Nayar, Sterling President and CEO: “Sterling’s commitment to client service is backed by technology purpose-built to support the performance and financial objectives of proprietary trading firms. We strive to anticipate client needs and deliver solutions that help firms operate with confidence in increasingly complex market environments. We look forward to supporting PropShop and their clients as they continue to grow.”
