In CFD trading, many users give up due to initial information overload or operational complexity, or suffer frequent losses due to a lack of discipline. ACE Markets believes that trading platforms should not merely be tool providers, but rather environments that cultivate sustainable trading habits. Therefore, the platform adopts a "gradual support" strategy: lowering the entry barrier through reasonable default settings, while unlocking advanced features as needed, allowing users to gradually master them through practice, rather than being overwhelmed all at once.
Reasonable defaults reduce initial cognitive load.
Upon opening an account, new users on ACE Markets are automatically configured with a set of proven and safe defaults: leverage is set to 1:30 (in line with most regulatory recommendations for retail clients), the chart displays a 1-hour timeframe, and stop-loss and take-profit levels are preset to reasonable risk ratios. These settings are not restrictions, but rather recommended starting points based on extensive user behavior data to help users avoid common initial mistakes.
All default settings come with concise explanations and can be adjusted at any time in Account Settings. For example, next to "Current Leverage 1:30" is the note: "You can increase it to 1:200 here (after completing a risk assessment)." This design protects beginners while respecting their autonomy, allowing users to explore within safe boundaries rather than blindly trying things out.
Premium features, unlock as needed
ACE Markets does not expose all its features to new users at once. For example, advanced tools such as grid trading, trailing stops, and multi-timeframe analysis are only prominently displayed in the interface after the user completes basic trading or actively searches for related functions. This "see when you need it" mechanism avoids information overload.
When users first attempt high-leverage or complex order types, the system displays a brief onboarding card explaining the principles and risks, rather than forcing a tutorial. Users can skip this, but the key information has been conveyed. The platform believes that true learning occurs through practice, not passive instruction.
Risk warning, embedded operation process
Risk education isn't just a written agreement at the time of account opening; it's integrated into key decision-making points. When a user sets an extremely narrow stop-loss (e.g., less than 5 points), the system prompts: "This stop-loss may be triggered frequently due to market volatility; it is recommended to refer to the current ATR value." When a single-day loss approaches 5%, a gentle reminder pops up: "Would you like to pause new positions to calmly review the situation?"
These prompts are not mandatory or preventative, but they provide immediate feedback. Over time, users will internalize these principles and develop self-discipline. ACE Markets does not make decisions for users, but ensures they act with informed consent.
Behavioral feedback promotes self-awareness
The platform regularly generates "Weekly Trading Behavior Reports" to review user operations with objective data, such as average holding time, win rate and profit/loss ratio, and trading frequency during periods of high volatility. The reports do not judge right or wrong, but only present facts, such as: "Your win rate was 58% during the Asian session and 42% during the European and American sessions."
Based on these insights, users can adjust their strategies independently. The platform also supports setting "behavioral goals," such as "maximum single-day loss this week should not exceed 3%." Upon achievement, only a brief confirmation is displayed, without reward badges or social sharing—avoiding the transformation of self-discipline into a performance. True growth stems from introspection.
Tools evolve, growing alongside users.
As users accumulate trading experience, ACE Markets will dynamically optimize interface recommendations. For example, users who frequently use technical analysis will see more quick access to indicators in the chart toolbar; users who frequently hedge across multiple asset classes will receive prompts from the cross-asset correlation analysis module.
This personalization isn't algorithmic push notifications, but rather a natural extension based on the user's actual operational path. The platform doesn't assume what users "should learn," but rather supports what they "are learning," allowing tool evolution and skill growth to proceed in tandem.
Conclusion: Accompany growth, not rush transactions.
ACE Markets doesn't aim for users to "trade today," but rather for them to "still be trading a year from now." Through reasonable defaults, progressive features, embedded risk warnings, and objective behavioral feedback, the platform builds a trading environment that supports long-term growth. Here, growth happens naturally, and trust is built over time.
