Success story #14: Iridio Capital - the team behind the Hackathon winning plugin with 3,000+ downloads

Iridio Capital is a company founded by four like minded developers and traders with a shared mission to bring structured, professional grade analytics into everyday trading. Their Iridio Dashboard took 2nd place at the first WebView hackathon and has since grown into one of the most adopted multi-platform plugins on cTrader Store, reaching 3,000+ downloads. In this article, we take a closer look at how the team built their tools and how their product ecosystem continues to expand.

Four developers and a shared mission

Iridio Capital was founded by four friends, Francesco, Pierluigi, Fausto and Vincenzo, who combined backgrounds in software development and trading. Over the past three years, they have focused on building infrastructure that improves operational efficiency and helps traders make more structured decisions. Instead of creating standalone indicators, their goal has been to design tools that bring clarity, discipline and measurable performance insights into everyday trading.

As their solutions evolved, the team looked for a platform that could support both technical flexibility and long term development. They chose cTrader Store for its reliable infrastructure, open API and developer friendly ecosystem, which allowed them to integrate their existing services and later expand into native tools and multi-platform plugins.

For over three years, our team has been obsessed with bridging the gap between IT innovation and trading operations. Trader's extraordinary openness to developers provided the exact foundation we needed to turn that vision into reality.

The hackathon turning point

The release of new plugins marked a new stage in the development of tools inside cTrader Store. For Iridio Capital, it became an opportunity to rethink how their existing infrastructure could live directly inside the platform. When the hackathon was announced, the team decided to participate. Their idea was clear: instead of building another indicator, they focused on integrating structured performance analytics into a seamless in platform experience.

🏅WebView Hackathon 2025: Meet the Winning Plugins and What They Bring to Traders
Our first WebView Plugins Hackathon is complete! 🎉 With more than 300 participants, over 10 finalists, and 3 winners, this event marks the beginning of a new era for plugins in cTrader.

The result was Iridio Dashboard, a multi-platform based solution designed to give traders a consolidated overview of their performance. The project earned 2nd place at the hackathon, marking an important milestone for the team and validating their approach to combining IT architecture with practical trading needs.

Participating in the Trader WebView Plugin Hackathon was a game-changer for us. Plugin technology is the future of mobile trading UX, allowing developers to create highly customized, powerful tools like our Iridio Dashboard right in the palms of traders' hands.

For Iridio Capital, the competition was not just about recognition. It became the moment when an external service began transforming into a fully integrated product within the cTrader ecosystem.

While cBots enable strategy automation only in C# and Python, plugins also allow developers to use modern web technologies to seamlessly integrate third-party services into the platform. This makes it possible to build custom dashboards, analytics panels and other interactive tools with flexible placement options across cTrader apps.

Iridio Dashboard Plugin is a very convenient and well-designed tool. The dashboard is excellent, clear and intuitive. Finally a trading journal that works properly, well integrated and with great parameters to monitor performance and improve trading. Congratulations to the team!

In addition to Iridio Dashboard, the team has also released the free Trend Angle Indicator, which helps traders visualise market slope and momentum more clearly, and the Wyckoff Toolkit, a paid indicator focused on smart money concepts and liquidity analysis. Together, these tools reflect Iridio Capital’s broader approach to combining structured analytics with practical trading logic.
