MetaTrader 4 (during the ThinkForex years)
Pros
- Real trading history from 2010 to 2016 under genuine ASIC oversight
- Rebrand path is transparent, since ThinkMarkets runs the same licensed entity
- Early FCA authorisation around 2015 carried straight into the ThinkMarkets brand
- The ThinkTrader platform born from this rebrand still runs today
Cons
- The ThinkForex name and website no longer exist for new account opening
- Old ThinkForex marketing pages still online can confuse readers about its status
- Any historic balance or account under the old name now sits inside ThinkMarkets
- Readers must check a different brand page to see current fees and licenses
ThinkForex began trading in 2010, started by brothers Nauman and Faizan Anees. The firm moved its base to Melbourne, Australia in 2012 and won ASIC authorisation there, then opened a London office under the FCA a few years later. Through this period it built a reputation as a pure forex and CFD broker running on MetaTrader 4.
In July 2016, the company renamed itself ThinkMarkets and launched its own ThinkTrader platform. The underlying licensed companies in Australia and the UK did not change, only the public brand. Management framed the move as a step toward a wider multi asset broker, rather than just a forex specialist.
Today there is no ThinkForex website or signup. Every function, from licenses to platforms to client support, sits under the ThinkMarkets name and its TF Global Markets entities. Anyone researching current pricing or safety for this business should look at the ThinkMarkets profile, since that is the live brand carrying on the same regulated operation.
