Eightcap has integrated the TradeLocker trading platform into its technology suite, making the Australian-founded broker the first major multi-jurisdictional regulated firm to offer the platform to CFD traders.
The partnership, announced on Wednesday, adds TradeLocker alongside Eightcap’s existing MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and TradingView offerings. TradeLocker is used in the proprietary trading space and is now entering the regulated brokerage tier through this integration.
“Eightcap’s focus has always been to give traders choice and access to the tools they need to navigate the markets,” said Michael Clifton-Jones, Group Chief Commercial Officer at Eightcap. “TradeLocker has built strong traction with traders, and now Eightcap is taking it further by being the first broker to integrate it into a regulated CFD environment.”
Platform capabilities
TradeLocker offers native TradingView chart integration, on-chart trade execution and a feature called TradeLocker Studio, which enables traders to build automated bots without coding expertise. The platform synchronises settings across web and mobile devices.
“Our mission has always been to build a trading platform that truly meets the needs of today’s traders,” said Dom Bradley, CEO of TradeLocker. “Through our partnership with Eightcap, we’re bringing TradeLocker’s next-gen features to a wider community of CFD traders who are ready for something new.”
The integration is part of Eightcap’s broader “Eightcap Labs” initiative, which focuses on AI-powered trading features and algorithmic tools for retail traders.
Regulatory framework
Eightcap holds licences from multiple regulators including the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission. Under FCA regulation, retail clients receive leverage limits of 30:1 on major currency pairs and protection through the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to £85,000.
To mark the launch, Eightcap is offering trading credits and rebates to new TradeLocker account holders, though this promotion excludes clients in Australia, the UK and Cyprus.
