Our 2025 Trading Recap
The trading tools we launched in 2025 that kept you in control
Aside from some tariff-related bumps, the markets were dominated this past year by AI-driven growth. Through all the ups, downs, and sideways turns, our goal was simple: to give self-directed investors like you the tools to navigate the volatility with confidence.
We launched 24/5 trading for key equities so you could react to news overnight, not just during market hours. To help you manage risk with more precision, we rolled out stop market orders and other advanced order types. To ensure you could seize opportunities when you saw them, we offered more flexible access to margin. And in November, we launched 24/7 trading for real, physically backed gold – the only brokerage in Canada to do so – giving you a powerful new way to hedge against uncertainty when you need it most.
This month, we’re looking back at the tools we built to help you move with conviction, no matter which way the market turns.
