Traders' Hub has integrated Acuity Trading's research technology across its UAE and Seychelles trading platforms, though the deal comes with regulatory strings attached.

The integration gives clients access to Acuity's Research Terminal, NewsIQ, AssetIQ, and an economic calendar, but the partnership's crown jewel, AnalysisIQ trading signals, will only be available through Traders' Hub's Seychelles entity for now. The brokerage says it plans to roll out signals across all group entities in 2026, subject to local regulatory clearance.

Traders' Hub Adds Acuity's AI Research Tools

The staggered rollout reflects the compliance challenges facing AI-driven trading tools as they expand across jurisdictions. Acuity's AnalysisIQ generates trade ideas with confidence levels and price targets, produced by Acuity Research Limited, which holds authorization from the UK Financial Conduct Authority.

Hafez Baker, chief operating officer at Traders' Hub, said the tools address client demand for clearer market information during volatile periods. “Our priority is to give clients clear, usable insight especially around fast-moving events,” Baker said. “Acuity's tools add transparent, explainable AI and high-quality research workflows into our Seychelles platform, so traders can spend less time sifting noise and more time making informed decisions.”

However, trading signal services face varying regulatory interpretations across markets, particularly around whether algorithmic recommendations constitute regulated investment advice.

Traders' Hub operates under a Category One license from the UAE's Securities and Commodities Authority and holds a separate retail forex license from Seychelles' Financial Services Authority.

The broker was launched in 2022 by former ADSS executive Suhail Al Otaiba, who previously served as Head of Strategic Client Coverage at the Dubai-based brokerage. The firm also brought on other former ADSS executives for key roles: Ahmed Al Katheeri as Chief Operating Officer and Ahmed Ayoub as Chief Business Development Officer.

Tools Bundle News, Sentiment, Asset Scores

Beyond the restricted signals product, the integration packages several research components available on both platforms. NewsIQ applies sentiment analysis to filter market-moving stories, while AssetIQ scores individual assets and ranks sectors across forex, equities, commodities and indices.

“We're delighted to partner with Traders' Hub ,” Andrew Lane, Acuity Trading's chief executive, commented. “Our focus is on clarity: interpretable AI, human-validated ideas, and integrated news and calendar intelligence that fit directly into a trader's day.”

Acuity has cut similar deals with other brokers this year, including partnerships with Zarvista Capital Markets and MYFX Markets. The company, which launched visual sentiment tools in 2013, positions its products as combining algorithmic pattern recognition with human analyst oversight rather than fully automated signal generation.
