FP Markets Adds Data-Backed Trading Tools

FP Markets has also made changes to its platform. The broker integrated trading signals from xsee, a signal provider, giving clients direct access within their accounts.

The signals are vetted, and users can review historical performance and risk metrics before applying them. FP Markets said the integration responds to retail demand for data-backed trading tools.

The collaboration allows clients to automate signals and access a database of professional signals, providing additional resources to support trading decisions.
