CFD broker ACCM reported a total trading volume of about $2.14 trillion for the first quarter of 2026, covering the period from January to March. The company said the quarter marked a strong increase in activity across its markets, with March alone accounting for $1.2 trillion of the total volume.
ACCM Chief Executive Officer Tien Ching described the period as a record-setting quarter for the broker. “We had a fantastic first quarter in 2026, with total trading volume from January through March reaching a new all-time high,” Ching said.
Within March’s $1.2 trillion turnover, gold dominated trading with a volume of $1.09 trillion. Oil also recorded significant growth, with trading volume of $5.28 billion in March. According to the company, oil volumes increased 325.8% compared with February, reaching record levels despite representing a smaller share of overall activity.
Quarterly Volumes and Product Mix
For the full first quarter of 2026, ACCM reported average monthly trading volumes of 712.86 billion units and 288,000 active traders. Trading was heavily concentrated in spot metals, which accounted for 91.50% of FX/CFD turnover. FX represented 7.00% of volumes, while other instruments made up the remaining 1.50%.
The data underline the dominance of metals trading on the platform, with gold in particular driving activity in March. The strong rise in oil volumes, although from a smaller base, added to the overall increase in quarterly trading.
Platform and Device Usage
ACCM’s platform statistics for the quarter showed that 30.76% of total trading volumes were executed on MT4. In terms of device usage, desktop trading led with 53.67% of activity, followed by mobile at 32.70%. Expert Advisors accounted for 13.63% of total volumes.
The distribution of trading by platform and device suggests that desktop remains the primary channel for ACCM’s client base, while automated strategies via Expert Advisors also contribute a notable share of turnover.
Expansion in Vietnam
As part of its broader expansion strategy, ACCM has opened two local support hubs in Vietnam’s major cities. The hubs are intended to support local introducing brokers and partners, strengthening the company’s presence in the market.
ACCM noted that Vietnam currently generates the highest traffic to its website, highlighting the importance of the country to its growth plans and client acquisition efforts.
