Gold remained the largest instrument by volume in Q2, while US Tech 100 ranked second platform-wide and first in the UK. The report also records regional differences, including a 54% gold share of UAE volume. These are company observations about its customers.[1]
The report’s stop-loss comparisons are observational. Differences between positions with and without stops cannot alone establish that the stop caused the whole measured outcome: position size, instrument choice and trader behaviour may also differ.[2]
For readers, the important denominator is the broker’s sample. More trades can reflect repeated activity by existing customers, and leveraged notional turnover is neither client deposits nor broker revenue. The report is useful evidence about this platform’s activity, with limited grounds for extrapolation to the entire industry.[2]
