With the increasing popularity of CFD trading globally, users' core expectations for platforms have shifted from simply "being able to trade" to "being trustworthy, easy to use, and supported." Based on in-depth research of users in Asia-Pacific markets such as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, ACE Markets has implemented several practical and efficient upgrades to its trading platform. These updates don't focus on fancy marketing but rather on addressing real pain points—making order placement more reliable, analysis more intuitive, management easier, and the experience more tailored to local habits. All features are developed under the regulatory frameworks of Australian ASIC and New Zealand FMA, ensuring security, transparency, and prioritizing user interests.
Faster and more stable order execution
ACE Markets has comprehensively optimized its order routing engine, ensuring that the average execution time for major pairs such as EUR/USD and XAU/USD remains consistently below 30 milliseconds under normal market conditions. The system employs multi-path redundant connections and an automatic failover mechanism, maintaining low slippage, zero queuing, and no forced liquidation delays during multiple high-volatility events in 2025 (such as Fed decisions and geopolitical conflicts). All orders are directly connected to global Tier-1 liquidity pools via an STP architecture. The platform does not interfere with pre-quotes or add spreads; the execution price is the best available price in the market at that time, truly achieving a fair trading environment free of conflict of interest.
Intelligent charts and strategy assistance
The platform features a next-generation interactive charting system, supporting 9 timeframes, over 40 technical indicators, and customizable charting tools. Users can easily load preset strategy templates (such as "Trend Following" and "News Breakout") to quickly build an analytical framework, significantly lowering the technical barrier and making it especially suitable for part-time traders and novice users. The chart interface supports cloud synchronization—trend lines or Fibonacci retracements drawn on the web can be viewed in real-time on the mobile app, enabling seamless cross-device analysis, avoiding repetitive settings, and improving decision-making efficiency.
Seamless multi-terminal collaborative experience
ACE Markets achieves millisecond-level data synchronization across three main entry points: WebTrader, mobile app (iOS/Android), and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Users can open, modify stop-loss orders, or close positions on any device, with other devices updating their status instantly, truly breaking down time and space limitations. The mobile app is deeply optimized for touch interaction: swipe left to close positions, swipe up to add positions, and two-finger pinch-to-zoom charts offer intuitive operation; it also supports Face ID/fingerprint login, balancing convenience and account security, meeting the needs of various scenarios such as commuting and working from home.
Localized smart dashboard
The platform features a regionally customized homepage, intelligently displaying key information based on the user's location. Japanese users are prioritized to see USD/JPY intervention monitoring and a heatmap linking the Nikkei 225; South Korean users focus on the correlation analysis between the NASDAQ 100 and KOSPI; and Southeast Asian users are provided with local currency trends, religious holiday market closure reminders, and e-wallet deposit and withdrawal guidelines. All local content is proofread by native-speaking financial professionals to ensure accurate terminology and clear logic, avoiding errors due to translation bias, thus achieving a shift from "language localization" to "cognitive localization."
Transparency of costs and risks
ACE Markets has launched a full lifecycle cost tracker: the trading window displays the current spread and 24-hour average in real time, and can simulate future overnight interest (swap) before holding a position. The deposit and withdrawal pages clearly distinguish between "platform handling fee (0)" and "third-party fees" to prevent hidden deductions. At the same time, the platform has introduced an account risk scoring system, which generates a risk index by combining dimensions such as leverage usage and product concentration, and provides gentle prompts (such as "current risk exposure is high") to help users establish a long-term survival mindset, rather than encouraging excessive trading.
Performance and accessibility upgrades
WebTrader boasts a 50% faster first-screen load time, reducing the average opening time to 2.8 seconds. Dark mode supports automatic system switching, effectively reducing eye strain during nighttime trading. Furthermore, the platform is fully compatible with keyboard navigation and screen readers, meeting WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards. These subtle optimizations, though seemingly minor, significantly improve the operational smoothness for frequent users and those with specific needs, reflecting ACE Markets' commitment to the "trading for everyone" philosophy.
Conclusion: Functions serve people, and evolution stems from listening.
Every feature iteration at ACE Markets begins with a simple goal: to allow users to focus more on the market itself, rather than platform operations. From Tokyo to Jakarta, we believe that true technological superiority lies not in flashy techniques, but in silently safeguarding every rational decision. Moving forward, ACE Markets will continue to evolve its platform with restraint, precision, and responsibility, striving to become a trading platform worthy of long-term trust.
