What ATFX does

ATFX is a privately held, multi-jurisdictional retail and institutional FX and CFD broker founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, with the principal trademark entity (AT Global Markets INTL LTD) domiciled in Mauritius. The group operates under 9+ regulatory licenses spanning FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), CySEC (Cyprus), SFC (Hong Kong), UAE CMA, FSCA (South Africa), SERC (Cambodia), Mauritius FSC, and Seychelles FSA, plus a Colombia Representative Office — serving 500,000+ clients across 24 locations on five continents. Core product architecture is built on third-party MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms with the proprietary ATFX Support & Resistance Indicator, augmented by the in-house ATFX CopyTrade copy-trading platform, the ATFX FIX API for institutional clients, and the ATFX TeamUp mobile application. Recent technology investment includes the December 2025 strategic KX (kdb+/KDB-X) data infrastructure partnership to power AT DeepSight, an AI-driven trading intelligence tool, with real-time analytics across 300+ tradable instruments spanning FX, commodities, indices, shares, and cryptocurrencies.

The business model is primarily transaction-fee based, monetizing bid/ask spreads on retail CFD trading supplemented by account commissions on professional accounts, institutional prime brokerage fees via the ATFX Connect arm, and revenue share with Introducing Brokers and affiliates. In 2025, ATFX launched ATFunded, a proprietary trading division that adds challenge/evaluation fees and profit-share splits to the revenue mix. The company reported full-year 2025 Gross Trading Volume exceeding $3.17 trillion (with Q4 2025 at $817.4 billion and average monthly volumes rising from $236B in Q3 to $272B in Q4), and a record Q1 2026 GTV of $1.09 trillion. Go-to-market combines direct self-serve online onboarding via 14+ local-language websites and mobile apps, an Introducing Broker/affiliate channel managed by a dedicated VP of Strategic Partnerships, an institutional field sales motion through ATFX Connect, and high-visibility event sponsorships including the Argentine Football Association regional sponsorship and long-standing Duke of Edinburgh Cup backing. The customer base is concentrated in retail traders (segmented across MENA, LATAM, Africa, and Southeast Asia regional sub-brands) with a growing institutional book through ATFX Connect prime brokerage.
