Abu Dhabi based ADS Securities (ADSS), a leading forex and commodities trading firm, is opening a London office and applying for the Financial Services Authority (FSA) licence to allow it to expand its UK operation.

The ADSS trading platform has already helped access Middle East liquidity at a vital time for trading, and established itself as a fast growing challenger in a very competitive market.

With a high level of capitalisation, access to deep liquidity and positioned between the Far-East and western markets, ADSS has ambitious plans for the industry.

“London is the primary hub for global FX trading and will remain so the foreseeable future, but the market is changing.  We already offer some of the best prices and spreads across all the major pairs, but clients are now looking at more than just pips,” said Christian Bock, ADSS head of Sales, Europe and North America.

“They want to work with FX platforms that can show they are financially secure, well backed and can access liquidity when they need it.”

“Clients need to know the brokerages and trading platforms executing their trades aren’t encumbered by their own leveraged positions or toxic flows and are focused 100 per cent on enabling client success. ADSS can provide the reassurance clients need with the trading edge they want, so we are delighted to be opening a dedicated London office,” he added.

“Our focus is and will always be on service and we know that to develop the currency trading market we want to see in the Middle East we must continue to make significant investment in technology and the products we provide,” Bock continued.

“We know that many traders are very interested in the depth of liquidity and the spreads we offer, and they are now seeing the benefit of having an active and dynamic market which allows them to trade when the Far-East trading is softening and London is still building,” he concluded. – TradeArabia News Service
