Equity Groups Launches Expanded Charting Suite and Adds Commodity Trading Access
LONDON, July 7, 2026. Equity Groups today announced the rollout of an expanded charting suite alongside new access to commodity markets, extending the platform’s existing coverage of forex, indices, and individual stocks. The update is available immediately to all existing account holders and forms part of a broader push to give traders deeper tools across every account tier.
Expanded Charting and Analysis Tools
The updated charting suite adds a wider set of technical indicators, additional timeframes for intraday analysis, and drawing tools aimed at traders who build strategies around trendlines and price patterns rather than relying solely on indicators. An updated economic calendar now flags scheduled data releases with more detail on which asset classes a given release is likely to affect, reducing the need for traders to cross reference outside sources during high volume trading sessions.
The company said the update was built in response to feedback collected across several account tiers over the past year, with a particular focus on closing the gap between the tools available to newer accounts and those historically reserved for more active traders. Access to the new charting features extends across every account tier rather than being limited to a single premium level, a decision the company said was deliberate given how much feedback had come from accounts outside the highest tier. Existing saved layouts and indicator presets carried over automatically, so traders did not need to rebuild their setups following the update.
New Access to Commodity Markets
Alongside the charting update, Equity Groups has added trading access to a broader range of commodities, including energy products, precious metals, and agricultural contracts, joining the forex pairs, indices, and stock CFDs already available on the platform. The expansion allows traders to build more diversified positions without needing a separate account or platform for commodity specific exposure, consolidating activity that many users had previously split across multiple providers.
Commodity markets have drawn renewed attention from retail traders over the past year as supply dynamics and shifting demand patterns have kept volatility elevated across several sectors. Rather than requiring traders to open a dedicated account elsewhere, the addition folds commodity access directly into the existing account structure, using the same order types, margin settings, and risk management tools already familiar to current users. The company noted that commodity positions will appear alongside other holdings in the same portfolio view rather than in a separate module.
Why the Company Made the Move
A spokesperson for Equity Groups said the expansion reflects sustained demand from traders looking for better tools, a need that had been building for some time.
“We kept hearing the same thing from traders on our support lines: they liked the platform, but they were maintaining a second account somewhere else just to reach commodities. That’s a real friction point, and closing it was overdue.”
The spokesperson added that the charting update was developed in parallel rather than as an afterthought.
“Commodity markets move on different signals than currency pairs or equities. Giving traders proper charting depth alongside the new asset access, rather than bolting commodities onto tools built for something else, was the whole point of doing both at once. We didn’t want traders to gain an asset class and lose analytical depth in the same update.”
Further platform updates are expected later this year, according to the company, with additional asset classes and research tools under evaluation based on ongoing trader feedback and usage patterns collected since the last major release.
Equity Groups and the Wider Industry Context
The move places Equity Groups alongside a broader trend among retail trading platforms toward consolidating asset classes on a single account structure rather than routing traders toward separate specialist providers. Several platforms have expanded commodity and index offerings over the past two years as retail interest in diversification beyond currency pairs and individual equities has grown, a shift that industry commentators have linked to increased attention on inflation, energy prices, and supply chain disruption as recurring news themes.
For traders, the practical effect of this kind of consolidation is fewer accounts to fund, monitor, and reconcile at tax time, along with a single risk management view across asset classes that would otherwise sit in separate systems. Platforms that have made similar moves report that commodity access tends to be adopted gradually rather than immediately, with existing users testing smaller positions before committing meaningful capital to an unfamiliar asset class. Equity Groups said it expects a similar adoption curve among its own user base over the coming months, with account activity and support inquiries being monitored closely as commodity trading volumes build.
