Company news

Today, financial technology is moving forward at an exponential rate. In the highly competitive environment of Forex, it’s vitally important to follow the trends and promptly adopt new technology as it appears. The end of the year is a good time to make sure you’re up to date with the latest tools that can make your company stand out among competitors and bring as many new clients as possible.

In 2019, we completely updated UpTrader’s product line. As we approach the new decade, take a look at a set of innovations developed by UpTrader that can fundamentally transform a brokerage business and put it above the competitors. Do you have the definitive kit of a modern Forex broker in 2020?

Your entire business in one platform: UpTrader Forex CRM 2.0

We know how important it is for brokers to see the big picture regarding both clients and partners. Thanks to the 2019 upgrades, our brokers can control the conditions of multilevel partner networks and see client trading analytics. The platform is easy to use and encompasses all business processes, it includes three interfaces: client area, back office and admin panel. Early next year, the ecosystem will be expanded by a mobile app for account management and trading.

Bringing forex liquidity to a new level with AMTS solutions

The quality of forex liquidity you provide may account for half of your success. In 2019, UpTrader struck a partnership with AMTS Solutions, and now our brokers can enjoy the aggregation of liquidity from an unlimited number of providers. This brings order execution to a new level and allows for a more flexible risk management system. A perfect choice for those who look for a high-quality flow with tight spreads and better order execution.

RAMM: bring all kinds of traders together

Business growth requires a constant influx of new clients while attracting traders and investors can be very difficult without a copy trading service. Make trading easier for beginners and encourage professionals to trade more actively with a new-generation copy trading system RAMM (Risk Allocation & Money Management) by RAMM.TECH. Unlike similar services, it doesn’t put any load on the trading platform server and ensures the high accuracy of copying.

Starting a brokerage firm is now even easier

The year 2020 promises to be a year of customization and turnkey branding. However, it’s still possible to get many advantages of classic trading platforms in a simpler package to meet a modest budget. Earlier this year, we upgraded UpTrader’s web terminal that is already in use by several large brokers. The new software allows launching a full-fledged broker just in a few days.

What’s in store for brokers in 2020?

The year ahead doesn’t promise to be any less interesting or intense. We’re looking forward to continue developing the ecosystem of UpTrader Forex CRM.

The CRM Forex system will be expanded to include such features as voice over IP, an enhanced section for sales departments, and a new email delivery system.

Clients will be able to access their accounts in a new mobile app.

UpTrader introduces a set of updates to Forex CRM, allowing for automated and in-depth work with partners. Brokers can now configure conditions individually for each partner, while partners will receive detailed reports on all payouts.

The team of UpTrader has enhanced the back office and the admin cabinet with a possibility to see the relationship between partners and clients (the feature shows whose client someone is). Partner links are generated automatically.

All new features added to Forex CRM are designed to help partners and brokers choose the optimal plan for each individual case.

Flexible payout settings for different instruments

This feature will be especially useful to brokers who offer a large number of trading instruments. Now, a separate partner payout plan can be implemented for each category of instruments, or a separate plan for each partner: for example, a fixed commission for the volume or a percentage of the spread.

Let’s look at an example:

A broker offers a wide selection of trading instruments: currency pairs, stock and energy CFDs. A reasonable commission for popular pairs with tight spreads (e.g. EUR/USD) would be a fixed $10 per lot so that the partners can easily recognize the advantage. The broker sets up this plan for the category of major currency pairs. At the same time, exotic pairs have large spreads that strongly vary from instrument to instrument, so the broker sets the commission at 30% of the spread for each individual trade. And as for CFDs, this value maybe 50% of the commission.

Multilevel partnership

Another addition to CRM for forex is the new multilevel partnership program with an unlimited number of levels. Partners can now create networks of any depth, while brokers set reward conditions for each level individually. Partners can follow the growth of their network in the personal area and keep track of the clients of their sub-partners.

For example, a broker wants to create a multilevel referral network and reward partners for high performance and creation of their own networks by setting up rewards for every new level. The broker creates a three-level partnership network and set the following reward plan: the broker’s partners get 10% of the rewards of their first-level sub-partners and 7% of their second-level sub-partners’ rewards.

Partners have access to flexible settings of spread for their clients

Spread increase is very relevant to partners of brokers whose main income is based on commissions. The same plan is also useful to money managers who receive clients’ funds for management and earn from the spreads and commissions for the trades.
The brokers themselves can use CRM to cap the possible increase of service prices by their partners or disable this feature completely.

For example, with the broker’s consent, a partner sets up an extra commission in UpTrader CRM and larger spreads for their clients, while profit goes directly to the partner. If each party is satisfied with the commission, the partner continues the active operation, attracting more clients for the broker and ramping up the trading volumes. This scenario is favorable to each party: the broker gets large volumes, the partner—high commissions, the client—profitable trades.

Central Bank of Russia and state financial watchdog Rosfinmonitoring are preparing an initiative to ban cryptocurrencies as a means of payment in Russia. In a conversation with Deventer.org, Uptrader CEO Vasily Alexeev talked about the possible ramifications of the new legislation for fintech companies and cryptocurrency holders.

If the matter goes beyond words, this bill may join the list of other legislative initiatives of recent years that are strict, yet technically unfeasible.

Currently, all cryptocurrency transactions are already conducted in the informal economy: they cannot possibly be taxed since Russian law doesn’t recognize cryptocurrency as an asset. Moreover, it’s fundamentally impossible to learn who, when, and what for made a payment in Bitcoin, not to mention who owns what wallet.

It’s important to understand that to create a cryptocurrency wallet, it’s enough to generate 12 random words using special software. Access details to such a wallet exist only in your head, and no one can prove that you have them, while you still can receive funds and, if necessary, send them using these 12 words.

Right now, Russian companies operating within the legal framework that accept cryptocurrency do it through foreign intermediaries who receive cryptocurrency on their wallets and sent fiat money to the companies. In all likelihood, this arrangement will remain legal.

And even if the bill is worded in such a way as to ban this, it would hardly be a devastating blow for these companies, since in this case, they lose only a small fraction of their payments. Companies that cannot operate legally are a different matter: for instance, online casinos, or pirated content websites. Cryptocurrency payments may make up a substantial part of their income. However, they already have nothing to lose: breaking one more law won’t change anything.

About UpTrader Forex CRM

Vasily Alexeev, CEO UpTrader

"CRMs that we used to work with were visually unattractive and had poorly designed interfaces. It was a major obstacle to mastering and effective usage of these programs by brokerage staff. As a result, it affected the speed of task execution, the quality of customer service, and consequently, the company's profit. So we set out to create a Forex CRM that differs from everything we worked with before. It had to be multifunctional, reliable and helpful in business. Our efforts bore fruit: our CRM is being used by numerous companies, and we receive positive feedback from them."

The new CRM was designed from the ground up specifically for retail Forex brokerage business. It aims to increase the speed of solving simple tasks and make its adoption by employees easier. UpTrader CRM for forex includes a trader's room, a back-office interface for the staff of the company, and an administrator's section with flexible settings of access levels and available features for staff and traders.

Trader’s room

The trader’s room is simple and easy to understand even for novice forex traders. Fast registration and instant verification of a client’s identity rids both customers and brokers’ staff of unpleasant time-consuming routine processes. 

Managing accounts will not become a challenge for a trader due to clarity of the operations’ history. Moreover, for clients’ convenience, a broker is able to integrate a web trading terminal into the personal account and rid customers of having to log in to the terminal every time. 

Customers can read the latest financial markets news and daily technical analysis and monitor trends with the calendar of key economic events in the forex world. 

Forex Back-office

The back-office interface was created for operational control and management of a company’s business processes. Back-office employees can monitor a client’s activity - view deposits, withdrawal requests, and operations history. 

Information on the partner’s activity is also displayed on a dedicated page, where one can see the number of clients, their activity, partnership rewards, bonuses, and personal data. 

UpTrader developers also provided for and worked out in detail the system of client support. The administrator can monitor the quickness and quality of the support department responses to clients’ requests.

It is possible to integrate Forex CRM into a trading platform in a couple of clicks. A broker can offer its clients to download MT4, MT5 or other trading platforms right in the trader’s room. 

Administrator’s interface 

In the admin interface, a broker can customize Forex CRM and the trader’s room both visually and feature-wise. For instance, it is possible to translate it in any language, assign responsibilities and access levels for employees and make the interface match the corporate identity. The administrator defines settings and services for clients. 

Brokers can integrate news, analytics, and calendar of key events in the financial world. Thanks to the valuable content for traders the system can become not only a platform for managing accounts but a source of information for market analysis.
