Against the backdrop of the continued development of the global Contracts for Difference (CFD) market, investors in the Asia-Pacific region have undergone a profound shift in their selection criteria for trading platforms—from "whether they can trade" to "whether they are trustworthy for long-term investment." As a trading platform dually regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority (FMA), ACE Markets prioritizes user asset security, builds a foundation of high-quality trade execution, and extends this foundation with practical functions and a localized experience, creating a transparent, reliable trading ecosystem tailored to regional needs.
I. A rigorous fund security system
ACE Markets prioritizes the safety of client funds in its operations. All user deposits are held in segregated client trust accounts established by top-tier international partner banks, completely segregated from the company's own funds. This arrangement complies with the mandatory regulatory requirements of ASIC and FMA, ensuring that even in extreme circumstances, client assets are not considered company property and are not subject to claims by third-party creditors.
The platform undergoes regular audits by independent third-party auditing firms to verify the consistency between system records and bank escrow balances. Users can view complete fund flows at any time through their account backend, ensuring full traceability and verifiability.
Furthermore, ACE Markets fully implements a negative balance protection mechanism to ensure that any trading loss will not exceed the account's net value. This measure has been effective in mitigating the risk of margin calls and protecting users' principal during several high-volatility events in 2025 (such as the flash crash in gold and the sharp rise in the yen), effectively preventing margin calls and protecting users' principal.
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" 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 arrival and the user experience.
II. Real, fast, and conflict-free transaction execution
ACE Markets employs Straight-Through Processing (STP), where user orders are not subject to internal betting but are routed in real-time to a global liquidity network comprised of multiple Tier-1 banks and non-bank institutions. This means that the execution price is the best available market quote 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 transaction 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. Even in high-volatility scenarios such as the Federal Reserve's emergency policy adjustments and escalating geopolitical conflicts in 2025, there were no instances of order backlog, abnormal slippage, or delayed forced liquidation, and the stop-loss order trigger accuracy exceeded 99.8%.
The spreads are floating, accurately reflecting market depth. The trading interface displays the current spread and its 24-hour average in real time, allowing users to clearly understand the cost structure. This fair and transparent execution environment is a key reason why professional traders have long trusted ACE Markets.
III. Intelligent, Collaborative, and User-Friendly Platform Functions
ACE Markets' trading platform aims to "reduce operational burden and improve decision-making efficiency," and has undergone several practical upgrades since 2024. The platform supports WebTrader and a mobile app (iOS/Android), achieving millisecond-level synchronization of positions, orders, and custom charts. Users can analyze market trends in the office, adjust positions during their commute, and view complete reports at home, with seamless workflow.
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 more than 40 technical indicators (MACD, RSI, Ichimoku, etc.), links multiple timeframes, and synchronizes plotted objects to the cloud. Gesture optimization: Mobile devices support left swipe to close positions, two-finger zoom, and biometric login, making operation intuitive and balancing efficiency and security.
These tools are not for showing off skills, but rather stem from a deep understanding of real-world trading scenarios—helping users make more rational and efficient decisions at crucial moments.
IV. Deep localization, beyond language translation
ACE Markets understands that the Asia-Pacific market is not a single entity, but a complex region comprised of diverse cultures, financial practices, and regulatory environments. Therefore, the platform has launched a regional smart dashboard that automatically adapts content based on the user's location.
Japanese users: The homepage highlights USD/JPY intervention monitoring, a heatmap linking the Nikkei 225, and warnings from the Ministry of Finance's speech; South Korean users: It prioritizes displaying correlation analysis between NASDAQ100 and KOSPI, and a briefing on the impact of US stock earnings reports; Southeast Asian users: It integrates local currency trends, religious holiday market closure reminders, and deposit and withdrawal guides for e-wallets such as DANA/GCash.
All interface text is proofread by native-speaking financial professionals to avoid ambiguity caused by machine translation and ensure unbiased user understanding. This "cognitive localization" strategy allows the platform to truly integrate into users' daily trading habits.
Conclusion: Be a trading partner you can trust in the long term.
ACE Markets does not pursue short-term expansion, nor does it rely on bonuses or gimmicks to attract attention. We believe that the true value of a platform lies in providing certain services in an uncertain market—secure fund custody, fair order execution, an intuitive user experience, and locally relevant cognitive support.
