In the world of CFD trading, trust should not be built on verbal promises, but rather on facts that can be independently verified by users. Many platforms claim "fund security" and "fair execution," yet hide crucial details in lengthy terms or technical black boxes, making it difficult for users to verify. ACE Markets, on the other hand, takes "verifiability" as the cornerstone of its service, ensuring that core aspects such as fee structures, order execution, rule bases, and data ownership are open, clear, and traceable, giving users true control over their judgment.
Cost structure: Every cost is clearly calculable.
ACE Markets firmly believes that hidden fees are the biggest eroder of trust. Before opening an account, the platform fully discloses all potential costs, including spread types, overnight interest calculation formulas, and estimated third-party transaction fees for deposits and withdrawals. It also provides an interactive calculator where users can input parameters such as position size and holding days to preview total costs in real time. This proactive and quantifiable approach makes it possible to build cost models for trading strategies.
In actual transactions, all fee details are listed item by item in the account report. For example, after a long gold position expires over the weekend, the system not only displays the deducted amount but also indicates the calculation basis: "3 days × daily interest rate 0.021% × notional value = XXX". Users do not need to guess "why the deduction was made" or worry about hidden markups. The transparent cost structure ensures that every expenditure can withstand scrutiny.
Order execution: The entire transaction process is traceable.
Did the order actually enter the market? What caused the slippage? These questions often lead to disputes due to a lack of evidence. ACE Markets uses a pure straight-through (STP) architecture, generating a detailed report for each transaction that includes a timestamp (accurate to milliseconds), liquidity source (e.g., "HSBC + Citadel Securities"), routing path, and slippage attribution. Users can export logs compliant with the FIX protocol standard at any time for third-party analysis or arbitration.
In highly volatile market conditions, the platform does not shy away from execution challenges but proactively explains the reasons. For example, when the release of non-farm payroll data causes a sudden gap in EUR/USD, the system will indicate: "Slippage +0.6 pips, of which 0.5 pips are due to market gaps and 0.1 pips are due to network transmission delays." This transparent attribution mechanism transforms execution quality from a vague perception into objective facts, allowing users to distinguish between market risks and platform responsibility.
Rule basis: Each restriction is documented and verifiable.
Users are often confused by sudden inability to trade certain instruments or reduced leverage, stemming from a lack of transparent justification for rule changes. ACE Markets directly links all product parameters and risk thresholds to its regulatory framework. For example, cryptocurrency CFDs are not visible to Japanese users, with the page clearly stating: "According to the guidelines of the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA), such products are not available to retail clients."
Any rule adjustments are announced in advance, along with the regulatory document number or internal policy basis. When the platform optimized its margin model in 2025, it not only explained the changes but also linked to relevant ASIC guidelines. Users can verify these changes themselves without relying on the platform's unilateral explanations. This verifiability of the rules eliminates concerns about "black box intervention."
Data ownership: Transaction records are controlled by the user.
Many platforms treat user trading data as private assets, restricting its export or use for business analysis. ACE Markets explicitly states that users have full ownership of their trading records, chart configurations, and strategy templates. All data can be exported with one click to standardized formats (CSV/JSON), can be migrated to other compatible systems, and ensures users are not locked out.
Furthermore, the platform offers an "execution attribution analysis" tool that breaks down total profit and loss into components such as market gains, slippage costs, and interest costs, with the calculation logic clearly labeled. Users can objectively assess the effectiveness of their strategies based on this, rather than attributing it to vague notions of "luck" or "platform issues." The accessibility and interpretability of the data empower users with genuine autonomy in post-mortem analysis.
Conclusion: Trust begins with verifiability.
ACE Markets doesn't just aim to "appear reliable," but strives to be "testable." By providing detailed fee breakdowns, execution logs, rule justifications, and transaction data, the platform transforms trust from emotional dependence into rational confirmation. Here, users are not passive recipients of services, but equal participants with full rights to information and verification.
