STARTRADER says it will add 30 U.S. stock and ETF CFDs to its MT5 platform on Aug. 24, covering themes including quantum computing, software infrastructure and fintech.
What happened
STARTRADER said it will add 30 new U.S. stock and exchange-traded fund contracts for difference, or CFDs, to its MT5 platform on 24 August 2026. The broker said the new instruments will cover eight thematic areas.
The release lists quantum computing, software infrastructure, space and defence, nuclear and energy themes, AI and semiconductors, asset management, cloud and DevOps, and fintech, communications and advanced technology. It also names two thematic ETFs, DXYZ and NASA.
Why it matters
The expansion gives STARTRADER clients a wider set of themed trading products on one platform, according to the company. CFDs let traders speculate on price moves without owning the underlying shares or funds, and the company said the new instruments will be available with 1:5 leverage.
STARTRADER included a warning that CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. The company also said the content in its release is informational only and not investment advice.
Context and background
STARTRADER identified itself in the release as a global multi-asset broker. It said the new additions are part of what it described as its most active year of product development in 2026, during which it announced more than 330 instruments, extended trading hours across selected stock and ETF instruments, and launched XAUUSD247, which it described as a 24/7 gold CFD.
The announcement lists the new names it plans to add. Among the quantum computing instruments are IONQ, QBTS, QUBT, ARQQ and QMCO. The software infrastructure group includes ZS, S, RBRK and GTLB. Space and defence names include LUNR, PL, RCAT and BKSY.
Other names listed in the release are XE and NNE for nuclear and energy themes; SERV and POET for AI and semiconductors; VCX for asset management; DOCN and FROG for cloud and DevOps; and FUTU, ONDS, OUST, VSAT, LASR, AEHR, UCTT and GSAT across fintech, communications and advanced technology.
What the company said
CEO Peter Karsten said traders “should not need multiple places to follow the markets that matter” and said STARTRADER keeps “expanding access with purpose.”
The company said the new instruments will be available on MT5 with trade sizes from 0.1 to 1,000 lots. It said trading hours will run Monday to Friday from 16:30 to 23:00 GMT+3, subject to account type, client classification, jurisdiction and country availability.
STARTRADER also said it operates through entities licensed and regulated by authorities including CMA, ASIC, FSCA, FSA and FSC.
What happens next
The new CFDs are scheduled to be available on 24 August 2026, according to the release. STARTRADER said access will depend on account type, client classification, jurisdiction and whether the product is available in a client’s country.
