Acuity Trading launches Market Companion for broker platforms

Acuity Trading has launched Market Companion, a new service powered by MarketReader that explains market moves and pairs them with relevant analysis inside broker-branded platforms. The product is designed to keep traders in their existing workflow while helping brokers surface market context, research and trade ideas without sending users elsewhere.

Why it matters: - Market Companion aims to make market context easier to access inside broker platforms, which can reduce the need for traders to jump between tools. - The service is built to support traders’ own research with explanations of price moves and matching Acuity analysis when relevant. - Acuity says the product also helps brokers and prop firms deliver research in their own branded environments.

What happened: - Acuity Trading announced the launch of Market Companion, a new service for brokers, platforms and financial institutions. - The service is powered by MarketReader’s market intelligence engine. - Market Companion is designed to explain likely drivers behind price moves in plain language. - The product is available as a standalone service, through API integration or inside the Acuity Research Terminal. - Brokers and prop firms can request a demonstration or discuss coverage and integration at market companion information.

The details: - Market Companion uses price action, news, macroeconomic data and cross-asset context to generate explanations of market movement. - When a suitable match exists, the platform also shows relevant Acuity analysis such as an analyst rating or live trade idea. - The selection depends on the direction and context of the market move, plus the datasets included in the broker’s subscription. - Features include The Global Market Update, a real-time feed that tracks unusual market movements. - The platform also includes Top Movers by sector or asset class and a searchable All Insights feed. - Traders can use the Moves Explained feature to review individual instruments and look back at explanations of prior market activity. - A Price Move Strength metric compares a move with an instrument’s one-year price history to show how unusual the move is. - Coverage starts with US equities and a Popular CFDs universe, with available instruments tied to the selected configuration. - AI-generated content is labeled throughout the experience. - The service can be configured with custom asset universes, watchlists, branding and section layouts.

Between the lines: - The launch extends Acuity’s Market Intelligence pillar and links market explanations with content from its Trade Intelligence and Event Intelligence capabilities. - The product is built to keep users inside a broker’s workflow, which may help firms present research as part of the trading experience rather than as a separate destination. - The Price Move Strength metric is meant to add context beyond percentage change by comparing moves against an instrument’s own history. - Acuity frames the service as support for judgment and research, not a substitute for investor decision-making.

What's next: - Acuity Trading is inviting brokers and prop firms to contact the company about availability, coverage and integration requirements. - The company is also offering demonstrations of Market Companion. - Future adoption will likely depend on each broker’s chosen asset universe, branding setup and subscription datasets. - The product’s reach may expand as more platforms integrate the API or deploy it inside existing research terminals.

The bottom line: - Market Companion is Acuity Trading’s push to embed explainers, analysis and market context directly where traders already work. That could make broker platforms more sticky and more useful for day-to-day research.
