Against the backdrop of increasingly open global financial markets, Contracts for Difference (CFDs) have become an important tool for investors in the Asia-Pacific region to participate in the foreign exchange, stock index, precious metals, and commodity markets. As a trading platform operating under the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), Ace Markets adheres to the core principles of "user asset security, transparent trade execution, and practical and efficient tools," providing a reliable trading infrastructure for users from Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and other regions. This article will systematically introduce Ace Markets' service advantages from three aspects: platform function upgrades, fund security guarantees, and data indicator support.
I. Intelligent and efficient trading platform functions
The platform features a next-generation intelligent trading interface, supporting advanced functions such as dynamic stop-loss suggestions, OCO (one of two) orders, and visualized pending orders. Users can directly drag and drop limit orders or stop-loss orders on the chart, and the system automatically recommends a reasonable risk distance based on recent volatility, helping beginners avoid being stopped out by overly narrow stop-loss orders. Meanwhile, the conditional order combination function makes strategy execution more rigorous—once any order is triggered, related orders are automatically canceled, reducing human error.
To meet flexible trading needs, Ace Markets achieves millisecond-level data synchronization across three major platforms: WebTrader, mobile app (iOS/Android), and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Whether users are analyzing market trends in the office, adjusting positions during their commute, or running automated strategies at home, positions, orders, and custom charts remain consistent in real time. The mobile app is deeply optimized for touch interaction, supporting features such as swiping left to close positions, two-finger zoom, and biometric login, balancing efficiency and security.
In addition, the platform has launched regional smart dashboards that automatically adapt the homepage content based on the user's location: Japanese users will see USD/JPY intervention monitoring and Nikkei 225 linkage analysis first; South Korean users will focus on the NASDAQ100 and KOSPI correlation briefing; and Southeast Asian users will see local currency trends, religious holiday market closure reminders, and mainstream e-wallet deposit and withdrawal guides, truly achieving "what you see is what you need".
II. Strict Fund Security Guarantee
Fund security is an inviolable bottom line for Ace Markets' operations. All client deposits are held in a segregated client trust account established by top international partner banks, strictly segregated from the company's own assets. This arrangement ensures that even if the company faces extreme operational risks, client funds are not considered company property and are not subject to claims by third-party creditors. The platform is regularly audited by third-party auditing firms to verify the consistency between system records and bank escrow balances. Users can view complete transaction records at any time through their account backend, achieving full transparency and traceability.
Meanwhile, Ace Markets implements a negative balance protection mechanism to ensure that user losses do not exceed account equity. This measure is included in the mandatory requirements of ASIC and FMA for retail customer protection, effectively preventing the risk of margin calls under extreme market conditions. In the deposit and withdrawal process, the platform clearly distinguishes between "platform fees (0)" and "fees that may be charged by third-party banks or payment channels," eliminating hidden deductions. It supports deposits in local currencies such as JPY, KRW, THB, IDR, MYR, and SGD, reducing exchange rate conversion losses and improving capital utilization efficiency.
III. Comprehensive data and technical indicator support
Ace Markets understands that high-quality decision-making relies on reliable data and analytics tools. The platform features a built-in professional-grade charting system supporting nine timeframes (from 1 minute to monthly charts), over 40 technical indicators (including MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, Ichimoku Cloud, etc.), and various drawing tools (trend lines, Fibonacci retracements, channels, etc.). Users can freely combine indicators, save templates, and synchronize analysis views across different devices. For example, a Japanese user can set up an Ichimoku + volume combination for USD/JPY on the web interface and directly access it in the mobile app during their commute the next day, without needing to reconfigure it.
The platform also integrates a real-time economic calendar, covering key events such as decisions by major global central banks, non-farm payrolls, CPI, and GDP, marking expected values, previous values, and historical impact to help users predict market fluctuations. When major events occur, the system provides concise interpretations based on anonymized aggregated data (e.g., "Stronger Dollar: Fed Dot Plot Leans Hawkish") to help users quickly understand the driving logic behind market movements. All price data originates from a global liquidity network, with latency below the industry average. Spreads are floating, accurately reflecting market depth; the platform does not add extra charges, ensuring users always start on a level playing field.
Conclusion
Ace Markets doesn't aim to be the most feature-rich or largest platform in terms of user base. Instead, it strives to be the most reliable source of certainty for users in an uncertain market. From smart order placement to escrow services, from multi-device collaboration to localized insights, every design element is based on security, transparency, and practicality.
