In the Asia-Pacific market, where CFD trading is becoming increasingly popular, users' criteria for choosing a platform have shifted from "whether it's tradable" to "whether it's trustworthy." Faced with complex market fluctuations and information noise, ACE Markets consistently focuses on three uncompromising core dimensions: fund security, trade execution quality, and platform functionality and user experience. These three pillars together form the solid foundation for our services to users in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and other regions.
I. Fund Security: Independent custody, fully transparent.
Fund security is ACE Markets' top operational principle. All client deposits are held in segregated client trust accounts established by top international partner banks (including licensed financial institutions in Australia and Singapore), completely segregated from the company's own operating funds. This arrangement complies with the mandatory requirements of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority (FMA), ensuring that even in the event of extreme operational risks, client assets are not considered company property and are not subject to creditor claims.
The platform undergoes regular audits by third-party auditing firms to verify the consistency between system records and bank-custodied balances. Users can view complete transaction records at any time through their account backend, ensuring full traceability. Furthermore, ACE Markets implements a negative balance protection mechanism to ensure that a user's losses will not exceed their account equity under any circumstances—a measure that has proven effective in mitigating the risk of margin calls during numerous extreme market events (such as the 2025 gold flash crash and the sharp rise in the yen).
In the deposit and withdrawal process, the platform adheres to a zero-platform-fee policy and clearly distinguishes between "platform fees (0)" and "fees that may be charged by third-party banks or payment channels" on the payment page to prevent hidden deductions. At the same time, it supports direct deposits in local currencies such as JPY, KRW, THB, IDR, MYR, and SGD to reduce exchange rate conversion losses and improve the efficiency of fund utilization and the speed of fund arrival.
II. Transaction Execution: Real market, no conflict of interest
ACE Markets employs Straight-Through Processing (STP), meaning user orders are not subject to internal betting but are routed in real-time to a global network of multiple Tier-1 banks and non-bank liquidity providers. This means the execution price is the best available market price at that time, and the platform does not interfere with spreads, add markups, or charge payment for order flow, truly aligning its interests with those of its clients.
In terms of execution performance, the average execution latency for mainstream pairs such as EUR/USD and XAU/USD is consistently kept below 30 milliseconds. The system is equipped with multi-path redundant connections and an automatic failover mechanism. During high-volatility events such as the Federal Reserve's emergency policy adjustments in 2025 and the escalation of geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, there were no instances of order backlog, abnormal slippage, or delayed forced liquidation, and the stop-loss order trigger accuracy rate exceeded 99.8%.
The spreads are floating, accurately reflecting market depth. The platform displays the current spread value and the average spread over the past 24 hours in real time on the trading interface, allowing users to clearly understand the cost structure. This transparent and fair execution environment has become a key reason why professional traders consistently choose ACE Markets.
III. Platform Functions and User Experience: Intelligence, Collaboration, Localization
ACE Markets' trading platform aims to "reduce operational burden and improve decision-making efficiency," and has completed several practical upgrades since 2024.
The platform supports WebTrader and mobile apps (iOS/Android), enabling millisecond-level synchronization of positions, orders, and custom charts. Users can analyze NASDAQ100 trends in the office using the web interface, close half of their positions with a single click to lock in profits during their commute using the mobile app, and view complete historical reports on MT5 after returning home—the operations are seamlessly integrated.
Functional design emphasizes practicality:
Intelligent order placement system: Supports OCO (choose one) orders and dynamic stop-loss suggestions. The system recommends a reasonable risk distance based on recent volatility. Interactive charts: Integrates 40+ technical indicators (MACD, RSI, Ichimoku, etc.), links multiple timeframes, and synchronizes plotting objects to the cloud. Gesture optimization: Mobile devices support left swipe to close positions, two-finger zoom, and biometric login, making operation intuitive.
Deep localization is particularly crucial:
Japanese users' homepage prominently features USD/JPY intervention monitoring and a heatmap linking USD/JPY to the Nikkei 225; South Korean users receive priority access to a briefing on the correlation between NASDAQ100 and KOSPI; Southeast Asian users enjoy deposit and withdrawal guides for local e-wallets (such as DANA and GCash) and reminders of market closures for religious holidays.
All interface text is proofread by native-speaking financial professionals to avoid operational errors caused by mistranslation of terminology, truly achieving "cognitive localization" rather than simple translation.
Conclusion
ACE Markets does not pursue short-term expansion, but is committed to becoming the most reliable source of certainty for users in uncertain markets. From fund custody to order execution, from multi-terminal collaboration to localized insights, every design stems from an understanding and respect for real-world trading scenarios.
