Leading brokerage firm, FXDD, is celebrating 20 years of providing cutting-edge services to financial market participants. This is a remarkable achievement, given that the retail trading industry is still relatively new. FXDD has stood the test of time, witnessing numerous service providers come and go over the past two decades. The ability to not just survive but thrive over the years is a testament to the company's commitment to anticipate and innovate to meet the expectations of its clients.
Launched in 2002, FXDD first introduced its proprietary Java-based trading platform, FX Direct Dealer. The company was notably one of the earliest adopters of the Metaquotes platform, introducing its MT3 version in 2004. That led to its development of one of the first MetaTrader bridges and an in-house back office, both battle-tested and enhanced over the years, and still in use today.
Today, the company offers industry-leading tight spreads and swift execution in multiple asset classes, including forex, metals, energies, indices and stocks. Clients can access global assets on the MetaTrader 4
