Direct Trading Technologies

What Direct Trading Technologies does

Direct Trading Technologies (DBA: Global DTT, Global DTT Group, DTTMarkets) is a private, multi-jurisdictional retail and institutional FX/CFD broker founded in 2011 and headquartered in Vanuatu (DTT VAN LTD, regulated by the Vanuatu FSC, Register No: 40169). The firm operates 8 physical offices across the UK (London), UAE (Dubai), Panama (Panama City), Colombia, and Vanuatu, with 100+ employees supporting 100,000+ active clients and 100,000+ tradeable financial products spanning forex, precious metals, energies, indices, exchange-traded stocks, CFDs, and cryptocurrency. Its regulated entities include DTTPRO UK LTD in the UK, a UAE SCA-licensed financial consultancy unit, and a Panama SMV-licensed LATAM entity (Global DTT Español), giving it cross-jurisdictional reach into MENA, Europe, and Latin America.

The product stack is built around the proprietary DTTPro multi-asset trading platform, supplemented by MetaTrader 4/5 and a FIX API for algorithmic traders, with the Global DTT Aggregator providing tier-1 aggregated liquidity at a stated maximum 0.5% slippage. Adjacent and B2B products include DTTPlus (premium research and tools), DTTPRO White Label and Prop Trading turnkey solutions for broker startups and prop firms, DTTcoins cryptocurrency exchange (100+ coins, USD 10M Series A in 2022), Smart Social Trading, and a Global DTT Prepaid Visa Card. The DTTPro business is the explicit growth engine, having won "Best Broker White Label Solution" and "Best Prop Trading Solution" at the London Trader Show in both 2024 and 2025.

Global DTT earns revenue primarily through spread-based trading on CFDs and forex (transaction fees), recurring platform subscriptions and white-label licensing royalties, IB/affiliate commission share, crypto exchange transaction fees, and SCA-licensed financial consultancy services in the UAE. Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales for B2B white-label and prop trading clients, product-led growth via self-directed trading on MT4/MT5/DTTPro, and channel sales through an Introducing Broker program for CTAs, CPOs, and financial brokers. The firm claims 20% annual growth since 2019 and is funded by a USD 10M Series A in 2022 (DTTcoins subsidiary) and a 100,000-share private placement on the Sahmee platform in September 2025.
