Eightcap Positions TradeLocker Launch as Platform Choice and Trader Flexibility Play

Eightcap framed the rollout as part of its strategy to give traders more control over how they trade, rather than forcing them into a single platform ecosystem. The broker said it is the first CFD broker regulated in multiple jurisdictions to offer TradeLocker.

We are expanding our platform suite to support a diverse array of trading styles.”

Eightcap is also using the launch as a marketing push, offering new clients who sign up for a TradeLocker account through Eightcap an “exclusive trading credit and rebate offer” via its official launch page.
