Maria Nikolova

After April 30, 2019, traders will not be able to log in to “Trade Link”.

Japanese retail Forex broker AFT is about to stop supporting the Trade Link platform. The relevant announcement was made by the company today. AFT explains that it will end the service at 15:00 on Friday, April 19, 2019. 

No details were provided for the rationale for such a radical move. The broker simply apologized to its clients for the termination of the “Trade Link” service.

Let’s note that the company presents Trade Link as a platform giving individual traders access to ECN trading environment. The brokerage offers its clients to another platform – MT4 Link.

AFT has informed its clients that, effective March 29, 2019, it will not accept applications for new accounts for Trade Link. The trading on the platform will stop on April 15, 2019 at 20:00, whereas all services related to the platform will be terminated on April 30, 2019.

Traders are advised to close all existing positions by 15:00 on April 15, 2019, the final day of transacting via the platform. If an open position has not been settled by then, the broker will “force” settle them.

After April 30, 2019, traders will not be able to log in to “Trade Link”. Clients are encouraged to save the account history report, the balance statement, etc. by April 30, 2019.
