In the middle of 2015 Saxo Bank announced the release of a new modern trading platform, written by its own technical experts, as well as the rejection of the usual MetaTrader 4.

At the beginning of 2006, traders in Russia and the CIS imagined the operation of the foreign exchange market in a completely different way than it is now. All of the 10 Russian-speaking brokers available to us offered approximately the same trading conditions, which included 1:100 leverage, quotes, terminal, analytics, training course, and 4 points of EURUSD spread. Traders chose the company according to a friend's advice or depositing/withdrawing method, sometimes just at random, and it did not make much difference. After that "easy" appeared with the company bearing the same name, which surprised everyone with an opportunity to trade with a leverage of 1 to many. And after that there was a real boom of ideas, innovations, suggestions from brokers, including floating spreads, which became a reality.

The State Duma of the Russian Federation passed in the third reading the draft federal law "On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation".

Victor Masalov, Executive Director of EXNESS, is our guest at ForTrader.org. Today we would like to discuss the issue of trading volume at -brokers, the publications related to it and the future of such inspections. FT: Many companies provide monthly statistics on the trades of their traders. Should you trust such data? Is it possible to check the reliability of such publications? VM: In fact it is impossible to verify such data. In some cases companies are obliged to publish information about their activities, for example, if their shares are traded on a stock exchange. All the rest publish unsupported reports on their activity and the question of trust in such publications is a question of trust in the broker. FT: You are the first company that...

- How would you characterize the current situation of state regulation of the market in Russia? - In many developed countries the regulation of the currency market by the state authorities has been carried out for a long time. It allows to provide reliability of operations on the market as well as honesty of each market participant. Unfortunately our legislation practically does not regulate the foreign exchange market now and it affects it very noticeably, making it absolutely non-transparent and allowing unfair dealing centers to be on it. Currently, there are two bills in the State Duma that involve regulation, and one of them has already passed the first reading. The regulation is also necessary because the market has already reached a high turnover rate...

Alexander Gold, Director of Analysis at OptionRally, is our guest on ForTrader.org. - Hello Alex. Let's start our discussion with the question: how did you get acquainted with the exchange trade? - Well, my parents always told me that with my last name I should only deal with finance. However, after seeing the number of girls in psychology department and the number of guys in finance department I decided that psychology is more to my liking (laughs). As it turned out, it was, though a pleasant, but a mistake. After I finished my bachelor's degree I realized that I was not ready to study for another three years just to get a nice piece of paper, and I went to SaxoBank to do an internship. They didn't pay me much.

Let us start our discussion with the question of how you got acquainted with the stock market? - Hello, Yulia. I became interested in stock trading in the nineties.

All the more surprising is the degree to which the market has evolved by now. Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to...

I have worked at Alpari for eight years, my last position was Operations Director. Now I am the General Director of GKFX. I got acquainted with trading in 2001, when I got a spam message in my mailbox entitled "Trading at the stock exchange is simple" where they offered to buy trading strategy of Bill Williams and promised to earn "big money". There was also a list of brokers, with brief characteristics (whether there were demo accounts, etc.). Of course I didn't buy anything, but I chose several companies with demo accounts from the list, and tried trading. I liked it and started to trade.
