Markets Direct Gateway Hub brings together both Cash Equities, Futures, and OTC markets – in a single cross margined account, including exchange-traded stocks like Apple and Tesla – not CFD’s – with more than 3500 listed stocks and ETFs.

Offering commission-free trading on US stocks – a proven and powerful draw to attract and retain a whole new group of traders – Markets Direct is also ahead of the curve by introducing fractional shares trading.

The platform allows to utilize 50% margin on stock portfolio to trade FX, Futures, and Cryptos, and customize asset offering to include regional Futures exchanges and local shares.

Corporate actions, dividends, and IRS reporting are all handled by Markets Direct, a platform designed to attract high net worth and active traders and investors.

The gateway hub features full depth of book on Futures and FX and easily connects with the most popular front ends, including MT5, Netdania Mobile, CQG Desktop, or via FIX to custom front ends.

The leading technology solutions provider Markets Direct will also showcase its premier tech platform, Access Gateway at iFX EXPO Dubai.

The technology brings together exchange-traded and OTC markets from across the world onto a single cross-margined account.

Built-in partnership with industry leaders, Access Gateway is an intelligent hub that helps brokers offer multi-asset trading from a single account.

Markets Direct’ powerful platform creates a bridge to connect brokers and their clients with numerous asset classes and market data to enable price discovery, trade execution, settlement, and the clearing of trades.

Through this asset bridge, brokers can offer Exchange mandated “best execution” via asset relevant liquidity providers, including US equities clearing brokerage firms that have direct access to Exchanges and market makers. It also provides connectivity to global banks,

FIA urges CFTC to regulate use cases rather than AI itself

“We urge the CFTC to refrain from crafting new regulations that generally regulate AI because this approach presents certain well-known pitfalls. By approaching the issue from the perspective of AI as a technology, rather than the use case for the technology, corresponding regulations would likely necessitate a definition of AI. We anticipate that any attempt to properly define AI would be very challenging and require considerable resources.”
