In an information-overloaded trading environment, the biggest challenge users face is not a lack of tools, but rather too many choices, too much interference, and too much effort to make judgments. Frequent pop-ups, complex settings, contradictory data, and misleading push notifications... all of these invisibly consume cognitive resources. ACE Markets believes that an excellent trading platform should not increase the user's decision-making burden, but rather, through reasonable design, help users filter noise, simplify choices, and focus on the core—allowing attention to return to the market itself.
Intelligent defaults avoid invalid selections.
ACE Markets offers proven smart defaults for key settings, reducing the initial setup stress for users. For example, new accounts default to a leverage of 1:30 (in line with most regulatory recommendations for retail clients), charts default to a 1-hour timeframe (balancing noise and trend), and stop-loss and take-profit levels are preset to reasonable risk ratios. Users can modify these settings at any time without having to start from scratch.
All default values are set based on extensive user behavior data and compliance requirements, and are accompanied by concise explanations. For example, next to "Default Leverage 1:30" is the note: "Suitable for most day traders; you can adjust it in your account settings." This design lowers the barrier to entry while retaining complete control, allowing users to focus on strategy rather than getting bogged down in parameter details.
Clear prompts, providing only necessary information.
When users perform critical actions, ACE Markets only provides necessary and actionable information. For example, when placing an order, the system prompts: "Current spread 0.8, expected slippage ±0.2", rather than piling up technical indicators or news summaries; when depositing funds, it clearly displays: "Use PromptPay, expected to arrive within 24 hours", without any promotional advertisements.
The prompts use neutral language, avoiding emotionally charged terms. Instead of using enticing phrases like "Surge Warning!" or "Excellent Opportunity!", they state facts: "EUR/USD volatility is at the 90th percentile of the past 30 days." Users receive information for informed judgment, not impulsive suggestions.
Reasonable restrictions to prevent excessive operation
ACE Markets proactively sets lenient behavioral boundaries to help users avoid common pitfalls. For example, when a single position exceeds 30% of the account's net value, the system will pop up a confirmation box: "This position is too high, do you want to continue?"; after consecutive losses, users can choose to activate a "cooling-off period" to suspend new positions.
These restrictions are not mandatory, but they provide timely reminders. The platform does not prevent users from taking risks, but ensures that they make choices with full knowledge. This "guardrail design" helps newcomers avoid major mistakes and also gives experienced users an extra opportunity to reflect when emotions run high.
Remove distracting elements and maintain visual clarity.
ACE Markets' interface resolutely eliminates elements unrelated to trading: no profit leaderboard, no KOL live stream entry, no points tasks, and no holiday banners. The main screen only retains price charts, a position panel, and basic toolbars. Color usage is restrained; profits and losses are displayed in gray to avoid triggering emotional reactions from red and green stimuli.
This principle is also applied to mobile devices. The notification center only contains system messages and user-defined alerts, and does not push market opinions or event information. A clean interface is the first line of defense for focusing on trading.
Focus on core functions, avoid showing off features.
The platform does not pursue "the most comprehensive functions," but rather ensures that "the core functions are the most user-friendly." The technical indicator library is streamlined to 20 commonly used tools, each of which has undergone interactive optimization; order types cover mainstream needs such as market price, limit price, stop loss, and trailing stop loss, but complex algorithmic orders (such as iceberg orders and TWAP orders) are not added unless the user explicitly needs them.
All functions share a consistent entry logic, resulting in a low learning curve. Users don't need to search through dozens of menus for "modify stop loss," nor do they need to worry about a hidden function suddenly changing the workflow. Less is more; focus leads to efficiency.
Conclusion: We'll save you the trouble of making your own judgments and leave it to the market.
