The Broker Volumes and Client Numbers ChatGPT Cannot Reach Now Have Their Own Chatbot

FM Intelligence has introduced FMIQ, an AI assistant designed to answer questions about FX and CFD brokers in plain English. The tool provides answers complete with figures, periods, and the specific dataset sources, offering access to comprehensive broker data that public AI models cannot reach.

Public AI models like ChatGPT can only access data that FM Intelligence has published, typically single months or quarters quoted in FinanceMagnates.com articles. For example, when asked about broker website traffic in 2026, ChatGPT returned OANDA's 14.6 million visits for January from a published analysis, while FMIQ showed 155 million visits from January to September using the full FX/CFD heat map.

Portal Data Access

Many FM Intelligence subscribers found the portal's extensive data overwhelming. FMIQ offers a quicker route to information, pulling exact figures in seconds rather than requiring users to navigate through dashboards. The portal covers nearly 200 brokers in its volumes tool and 98 in its traffic heat map, plus platform, fines and license data.

Many of our subscribers may have felt overwhelmed when using our FM Intelligence Portal. FMIQ is a quicker route, pulling out in seconds the exact figure a user is looking for. Everything happens instantly, saving users a lot of time and effort.

Limitations of Public Models

Tests comparing FMIQ with public chatbots revealed significant gaps in data access. When asked about traffic, volume, and Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission licenses, ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini and Grok could only provide figures from published pieces without web access. With web access, they assembled answers from available articles but couldn't create a single, verified industry table.

On trading volumes, public models returned EC Markets and TMGM at about $2.11 trillion and $2.03 trillion monthly for the second quarter, based on FM Intelligence's July release, but left positions three to five empty. The company notes that at least 10 brokers and platform vendors have connected AI agents to live client accounts in the first half of 2026, allowing chatbots to access balances and positions otherwise unavailable.

Verified Data Access

FMIQ works across seven datasets and maintains conversation context for follow-up questions. The assistant is read-only, runs queries live, and passes answers through an independent verification process before marking them as 'Verified.' The Ask FMIQ page suggests starting points for users, such as identifying volume leaders with weak country traffic.

FMIQ is available to FM Intelligence portal subscribers, with a free option to start using the service. The launch represents a significant advancement in accessing comprehensive broker data, addressing the limitations of public AI models that can only access published data slices rather than the full datasets.
