We’re excited to announce that Monevis has been recognized with the prestigious Best In-House Tech award in the prop firm trading industry! This achievement is a testament to our CEO & team’s dedication, innovation, and commitment to revolutionizing the way technology shapes the prop firm trading sector. In this blog, we’ll take you straight to the CEO – Milos in a podcast where he gave us a behind the scenes look and introduction to monevis but also how our cutting-edge In-House Tech is making a real impact.
Here are some of the topics asked to Milos in this interview.
Building Monevis: From In-House Development to Award-Winning Prop Trading Platform
Milos, a software engineer with 20 years of experience, shares the journey of Monevis, which started two years ago. Initially, He faced offers from white label firms but chose to build everything in-house to provide the best platform for traders and ensure data stability. He wanted full control over data, avoiding third-party reliance and potential data leaks. Milos explains that when they decided to start their own prop firm, there were only a few major players in the industry, with most using the same platform. As a trader, he felt there was a lack of variety in platforms, designs, and processes. With extensive experience in both software engineering and trading, he and his partner decided to create their own platform to bring something new to the market. The first version was created by Milos alone, with the team expanding later. Monevis now operates with its own servers, platforms, websites, and payment gateways, which we believe contributed to our recent award.
Monevis’s commitment to maintaining control over their tech, despite potential financial benefits from white-labeling.
Milos explains that although they’ve been frequently asked by other firms to white-label their tech, they’re not currently interested in selling it. He views the platform as a “child” and is deeply invested in its development. The prop industry is complex, particularly in tracking challenges and integrating with MetaQuotes technology. Monevis offers one of the fastest challenge trackers, evaluating every 5 seconds compared to other firms that do it every 60-120 seconds. While white labeling could offer extra income, Milos emphasizes that Monevis was created out of passion for trading and engineering, not for profit. His focus is on building the best platform with full ownership.
Building a Sustainable Prop Firm: Industry Insights and the Importance of Knowledge Over Hype
Milos, drawing from his extensive experience, underscores the importance of industry knowledge and experience for building a successful prop firm. Milos distinguishes between two types of firms: prop firms, which are led by experienced traders and professionals, and influencer firms, which often lack trading expertise and are driven by quick financial gains. While influencer firms may generate significant revenue initially, Milos believes they won’t survive long-term due to their lack of fundamental skills like risk management and cash flow handling.
Milos advises traders to be cautious when selecting a firm, warning them not to rely solely on flashy payout numbers. Some firms manipulate payouts by transferring funds internally, and while large payouts might seem appealing, they don’t always signify stability. Instead, Milos recommends choosing firms with smaller, consistent payouts that have demonstrated long-term reliability. Stability and industry expertise are key to long-term success, not just short-term growth driven by hype.
Ensuring Integrity and Security at Monevis: Combating Cheating with Robust Measures and Transparent Operations
Milos discusses Monevis’s commitment to maintaining a trustworthy, fraud-free platform, focusing on preventing cheating and ensuring transparency while safeguarding privacy. He shares experiences of rare instances of cheating, including reverse hedging and fake KYC documents, which were promptly addressed by refunding challenge fees and banning the involved traders. Milos emphasizes the importance of Monevis’s independent tech infrastructure, which allows the firm to track and identify cheaters without relying on third-party systems or sharing data with other firms.
Monevis’s platform operates with fully separated systems, ensuring no data sharing between companies and guaranteeing that no firm can access another’s data, including information about banned traders. Milos also addresses the issue of traders banned by multiple firms, clarifying that most of these individuals are not innocent, often failing KYC checks due to fraudulent identities. While acknowledging the possibility of some innocent bans, he stresses the role of Monevis’s robust security measures and thorough KYC processes in maintaining the integrity of the platform and ensuring that only legitimate traders are allowed to participate.
Building Trust with Integrity: Monevis’s Commitment to Honest Practices in a Competitive Prop Trading Industry
Milos shares his perspective on maintaining integrity while navigating competition in the prop trading industry. Reflecting on the early days of Monevis, he acknowledges the admiration for larger firms but expresses concerns about dishonest practices such as fake negative reviews used by some competitors to undermine others. Milos emphasizes that Monevis will never resort to such tactics, believing that success should be built through transparency, honesty, and constant improvement.
He also discusses the challenges within the prop review site industry, highlighting the lack of transparency and fairness in how firms are ranked. Milos points out the danger of monopolizing the review space, which stifles competition and gives dominant firms unchecked power to manipulate rules that can negatively affect traders. While Monevis has intentionally stayed off paid review sites, despite being offered placement, Milos stresses the importance of supporting newer firms through fair, strict verification standards. His commitment to organic growth through good service and trust-building with traders reflects Monevis’s dedication to transparency and ethical business practices.
“Transparency, Consistency, and Integrity: Milos’ Approach to Prop Trading Rules and Industry Challenges”
Milos discusses the best and worst rules in the prop trading industry, emphasizing the importance of transparency. He believes that the worst rules are those that are hidden or unclear. When rules are not transparent, traders can become frustrated, but if rules are clear and accessible, they are fine, even if they seem strict.
Regarding the best rules, Milos values consistency rules. He believes consistency helps both traders and firms by offering a reliable way to assess traders’ abilities. For a prop firm, having consistent performance data from traders is vital for evaluating risk and making informed decisions. While some traders dislike consistency rules, Milos sees them as essential for long-term success and better risk management.
In terms of handling social media hate, Milos explains that Monevis doesn’t face much negativity because of its track record of honoring payouts and maintaining a smooth operation. When hate does arise, he personally addresses it through support or Discord, emphasizing Monevis’s open communication and commitment to resolving issues.
Conclusion
Monevis’s recognition for Best In-House Tech in 2024-2025 highlights the company’s dedication to creating a cutting-edge and secure trading platform. By building everything in-house, Milos and his team have ensured complete control over the technology and data, setting them apart from competitors. Their commitment to industry expertise, transparency, and integrity fosters a strong and reliable trading environment. Monevis continues to focus on innovation, maintaining trust with traders, and offering sustainable long-term solutions in a competitive industry.
