ThinkMarkets'
Collaboration with Acuity Trading for AI Market Analysis
As part of this partnership, ThinkMarkets has
integrated Acuity Trading's Signal Centre tools into its trading ecosystem,
offering traders up to 40 high-quality, real-time signals daily. These signals,
including entry, exit, and stop loss levels, are delivered at the market
opening.
Anees emphasized the commitment to enhancing traders'
experiences and providing valuable tools for informed decision-making. Acuity
Trading, founded in 2013 and based in London, employs proprietary technology
with Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to extract sentiment data
from global news sources, offering sophisticated market insights.
The collaboration aligns with ThinkMarkets' strategy as it
pursues a reverse merger for a public listing, anticipated in July 2023. The
company, with 138,500 clients across 165 countries, achieved a revenue of $62
million in 2022, exhibiting a 24 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate.
The pre-money valuation stands at $160 million, implying a
pro forma enterprise value of approximately $190 million. Recently,
ThinkMarkets also disclosed partnerships with BlackBull Markets and Acuity
Trading, to provide analytics platforms and tools for traders.
