About DuaFx
A forex broker that refused to rent its technology. Founded in Dubai in 2021, DuaFx pairs institutional-grade liquidity with a proprietary trading platform built entirely in-house.
Built differently, on purpose
DuaFx was founded in Dubai in 2021 by a small group of traders and engineers who shared one frustration: almost every online forex broker ran on the same rented software, with the same limitations and the same conflicts. Rather than license a platform, we spent our first two years building one — an execution engine, charting stack and risk system engineered from the first line of code for speed, stability and fairness.
That decision shaped everything that followed. Because we own the entire technology stack, we control execution quality end to end, ship improvements weekly instead of waiting on a vendor, and price CFD trading with raw spreads and transparent commissions. ECN-style connectivity routes client orders to deep institutional liquidity with average execution of 0.01 seconds.
From our headquarters above Dubai Marina, DuaFx today serves more than 250,000 active traders across 180+ countries, clearing over $12.8 billion in daily trading volume across forex, commodities, indices, stocks, ETFs and digital assets — with a support team that works the same 24/5 hours the markets do.
Direction
Vision and mission
Two sentences guide every hire we make and every feature we ship.
Vision and mission
Our vision
The most trusted technology-led broker in the world
A market where retail traders get the same execution quality, pricing transparency and platform reliability that institutions have always taken for granted — and where DuaFx is the name that made it normal.
Our mission
Engineer the fairest way to trade global markets
We build and operate our own trading infrastructure so that every client — from a first demo account to a professional ECN desk — trades on raw spreads, honest terms and technology that simply does not get in the way.
Values
What we hold ourselves to
Five commitments, written down early and applied daily across trading, engineering and support.
Our values
01
Integrity
We publish our pricing, honour our execution statistics and never trade against our clients' interests.
02
Client-first
Every product decision starts with a simple question: does this make trading better for the client?
03
Engineering excellence
We build, test and operate our own technology to standards most brokers outsource.
04
Transparency
Clear fees, plain-language legal documents and a public platform status page — nothing hidden.
05
Security
Segregated client funds, encrypted infrastructure and independent penetration testing as routine.
Leadership
The team accountable for your experience
Deep markets experience on one side of the table, hard engineering on the other.

Technology
Our platform is our product
Most brokers resell someone else's software. We write, run and continuously improve our own — and it shows in the numbers.
Technology
In-house platform
Web, desktop and mobile applications designed, coded and operated entirely by our own engineers — no white-label software, no third-party dependencies in the execution path.
99.95% uptime
Redundant matching infrastructure, automated failover and a public status page hold the platform to a 99.95% availability objective, monitored around the clock.
Global server infrastructure
Execution servers colocated in the financial data-centre hubs of London, New York, Tokyo and Dubai keep average order round-trips at 0.01 seconds wherever you trade from.
Global Presence
Headquartered in Dubai, at home everywhere
From Level 42, Marina Plaza, Dubai Marina, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, our dealing, engineering and client teams support traders across more than 180 countries, in step with market hours: Sunday – Friday, 24/5 (market hours).

Corporate responsibility
Responsible broking starts with responsible products: negative balance protection for retail clients, prominent risk disclosure at every step, and a free Trading Academy that teaches risk management before it teaches strategy. We would rather grow a client's competence than their position size.
Beyond the platform, DuaFx funds financial-literacy workshops in the UAE, runs a paid graduate engineering programme in Dubai, and offsets the energy footprint of our server infrastructure through certified renewable energy purchasing. Progress on each initiative is reviewed by the board twice a year.
