Abstract:The broker has introduced new futures and shares trading options to expand its product list.

SquaredFinancial, an online FX and CFDs broker, announced today that MetaTrader 5 (MT5) Trading Platform is now available for its traders through desktop and mobile applications. Additionally, the company has added new trading options.
According to the official announcement, SquaredFinancial included several new trading products including VIX, Gold, Brent, WTI along with single stock shares like Amazon. The broker termed MT5 as an important option for its clients and outlined the potential benefits of the new platform. Clients will be able to take advantage of a wide list of MT5 features including a built-in market of trading robots (Expert Advisors), the Freelance database of strategy developers, mirror trading, and the virtual hosting service (Forex VPS).
Commenting on the launch, Husam Al Kurdi, CEO of SquaredFinancial, said: “In many ways, MetaTrader 5 was ahead of its time. It took several years for it to reach the peak, partly due to the attachment many traders have to MetaTrader 4. But, we are now seeing the benefits of MetaTrader 5, as investors need access to a genuine multimarket platform, with greatly enhanced compatibility and functionality. We offer a full range of high-quality investment instruments, acting as a global market gateway, so we see MetaTrader 5 as an important option for our clients.”
The company aims to take advantage of the market volatility with the launch of new trading options like futures and shares. Moreover, SquaredFinancial mentioned the importance of Risk Management and portfolio diversification for traders.
“As with all our new products, we spend time making sure we have the best specification and investment opportunities for our clients. The current levels of market volatility, often linked to fast-moving news flows, require traders to be able to hedge risks and diversify across a range of asset classes. Offering futures and shares, combined with the launch of MetaTrader 5, provides the options and flexibility our clients need to maximize their trading,” Kurdi added.

As we look to sum up iFOREX Europe and check user comments, they all read virtually the same issue, year after year - fund withdrawal issues. While some users never received withdrawal access from the broker, others received it for some time before the trading enterprise suspended their trading account, leaving their funds allegedly trapped on the platform. In this iFOREX EUROPE review, we take a close look at reported fund scam allegations against the brokerage first. Additionally, we will elaborate on the broker’s product & services and its regulatory framework.

The rupee, which has been falling against major global currencies, including the US dollar, is finally back on the path to recovery. As per the initial trade, the rupee touched a six-week high of 94.43 against the USD on June 17, 2026, tracking a plunge in crude oil prices following the interim peace deal agreed upon between the United States of America and Iran. Brent crude oil price slipped to around $78 per barrel, which has not been the case for three straight months following the war. The surging crude oil prices further caused pressure on the rupee, which was already falling apart.

ALFX, a new-age brokerage firm with around two years of service track record, seemed to have recorded around 30 reviews by users worldwide, including those in India.

This ALFX review article takes both positive and negative user feedback for the broker. This will allow you to make an informed financial decision.

Contemplating trading via Tiger Brokers, a Hong Kong-based forex broker? Be aware that the brokerage firm was recently fined $100 million or more by the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) for illegal activities. The news broke on June 8, 2026. While we will discuss this incident separately, the brokerage firm is not free from user allegations on issues concerning deposits, withdrawals and customer support service. On most customer service parameters (deposit safety & trading), Tiger Brokers is found to be ranking lower. In this Tiger Brokers review, we have investigated the brokerage firm, its trade offerings, recent regulatory action, a plethora of user allegations, and its regulatory background. Let’s start investigating.
