The iFX Expo Dubai 2025 brought together key industry leaders to discuss trends shaping the trading world. Finance Magnates’ Chief Commercial Officer, Andrea Badiola Mateos, spoke with Ahmad Khatib, CFI's Chief Business Development Officer during the event. The discussion covered CFI’s efforts to improve trading education and the introduction of Trading Transparency+.

The Rise of Influencer-Driven Trading Advice

Social media has seen a rise in influencers within the trading sector. Some offer helpful advice, while others mislead new traders with unrealistic promises and false expectations. Ahmad Khatib highlighted this issue: "Many new traders are misled by influencers who make trading seem easy and risk-free. The reality is very different, and we want to ensure traders have access to the right information."

Introducing Trading Transparency+

To address the growing concerns around misinformation, CFI has launched Trading Transparency+. This initiative is designed to help traders understand key concepts before they start trading.

At its core, Trading Transparency+ is a questionnaire that walks traders through critical aspects of the trading process. Instead of just providing a score, the tool highlights important areas where traders might need more knowledge.

A Step Towards Better Trading Education

With Trading Transparency+, CFI is taking a proactive approach to improving trading education. By focusing on knowledge and transparency, the company is helping traders make smarter decisions and avoid common pitfalls.
