Archpresspk | A comprehensive review of what ADSS offers | ADSS is a MENA-based brokerage firm that provides investment and trading services to both retail and institutional traders. As one of the few brokerages headquartered in the GCC, they are regulated by the SCA in the UAE and the FCA in the UK. In this Forex Academy ADSS review, we take a look at what the brokerage firm provides for its clients.

Instruments on offer

ADSS allows traders to access global markets with their wide range of offerings. Traders can either trade CFDs on highly liquid indices, commodities, stocks, commodities, and forex CFDs, as well as sell and buy forex through major, minor, and exotic currency pairs. Using ADSS’ trading platform, traders can even monitor price movements with daily market updates directly to their inbox, so they will never miss a trade.

Indices

Instead of trading stocks individually, traders can opt to use ADSS’ trading platform to speculate on indices from all around the world. This way, traders have the option of going long or short on US indices, such as the S&P 500, or on European heavyweights such as the DAX and the FTSE 100.

With the brokerage firm, traders can take advantage of trading index CFDs with deep liquidity, competitive pricing, and a leverage of up to 333:1. Traders can even benefit from some of the tightest spreads available in the market. Traders can therefore capitalise on volatile markets, trade and respond to global events, and gain exposure to an entire economy or sector.

Currencies

ADSS lets traders trade forex pairs with its intuitive trading platform. When a trader trades online, the brokerage firm promises no hidden fees, so that clients will always know what they are getting into. Currently, clients can trade CFDs on over 60 currency pairs in the forex market – this is the largest and most liquid financial market in the world. This is done using ADSS’ next-gen trading platform. The trading platform’s intuitive design means there is a minimal learning curve, allowing traders to better focus on managing their trades, instead of spending time learning how to use the platform.

There are major currency pairs such as EUR/USD, minor pairs such as NZD/CHF, and exotics such as EUR/TRY that traders can pick from. ADSS also offers market-leading leverage of up to 500:1, alongside some of the most competitive spreads in the industry for forex trading. The brokerage firm was even awarded Best FX Platform 2021 in the Middle East at the Global Forex Awards.

Cryptos

When it comes to trading newer financial instruments such as cryptocurrencies, ADSS offers that too. Traders can use CFDs to trade some of the world’s leading cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Litecoin. This can be done 24/5 via ADSS’ award-winning trading platform. Traders can also access a dedicated account manager, competitive spreads, and other educational and research tools to help them execute their trades. Another thing that makes ADSS unique is that traders do not need to open an online wallet when it comes to trading cryptocurrencies, as their funds are not transferred to an unregulated crypto exchange. 

Stocks

Traders have the opportunity to trade stocks from companies listed on stock exchanges around the world in the finance, technology, communications and healthcare sectors. This includes major players in the GCC region. As well as other internationally renowned companies such as Amazon, Netflix, Telsa, Boeing, and Meta, to name a few.
