Weltrade, a CFD trading firm with a 20-year footprint in the industry, was recently validated by traders and partners in Africa as ‘Best Synthetic Indices Broker’ and ‘Best IB/Affiliate Programme’.

SyntX is proof that the future of trading is data-driven, always-on, and open to everyone.’ Arguably more flexible and attractive than traditional CFD instruments, synthetics allow traders to enter and exit trades even outside standard market hours and enjoy the same experience and equal exposure to OTC price action.
