The recently acquired DFSA license allows ThinkMarkets to offer clients in the UAE access to advanced trading tools integrated into the ThinkTrader platform. These tools, such as the Signal Centre, TrendRisk Scanner, and Traders’ Gym, aim to improve the trading experience for investors in the region.

Commenting on the new DFSA licence, the Co-CEO and Co-Founder of ThinkMarkets, Faizan Anees said: " The UAE and wider MENA region is a high-growth market, and this new licence will now enable us to onboard new clients from this area in a regulated and secure way."

"Our new DFSA licence will help better serve our customer-base, while also helping extend ThinkMarkets' presence into new, strategic markets in the region."

TradingView Integration

Meanwhile, ThinkMarkets has integrated the TradingView charting platform into its ThinkTrader website, as reported by Finance Magnates. This integration enables traders to expand their analytical capabilities and monitor up to eight charts simultaneously.

According to a statement on the broker's website, this enhancement provides enhanced market visibility, allowing users to track multiple assets or market movements concurrently. It includes customizable views of market trends across various time intervals and access to historical data navigation.
