Ease of intl online trading paves way for global growth

Established in 2001, easy-Markets was the first online broker in Cyprus to offer a web platform that did not require users to download it.

This was a response to slow local internet connections and download speeds, a central challenge for the sector at the time.

"We have achieved this and many other game-changing moves like it in the past, and we will keep doing it in the future - providing easy access to financial markets," said Nikos Antoniades, CEO of easyMarkets. "This is the company's strong point."

"Our clients genuinely promote us because they value the support we offer them, as well as our trading platform," he said.

"The support and the platform have been recipients of our biggest investments in our 16 years of operation."

Safety, reliability and execution are of prime importance for easyMarkets, he said.

For example, even with high market volatility, the company has maintained good financial metrics, spreads and trading hours.

On top of that, its clients can use a revolutionary deal-cancellation trading tool that allows them to withdraw from unprofitable deals within 60 minutes of initiating them.

Traders can use the platform for over 200 assets - including currencies, precious metals, financial indices and commodities.

"Trading in 2017 will be dominated by geopolitical events and traders should be ready to witness large moves due to agreements and alliances between global powers," said Antoniades.

"We advise our traders to always place a guaranteed stoploss in order to manage risk."

Aside from its base in Limassol, Cyprus, easyMarkets has offices in Australia and a strong presence in China.

"China is a key country for us and our relationship with this market is one of the most established we have today," he said. "Culturally, our values of integrity, trust and respect resonate with Chinese traders and investors."

Today, Antoniades looks to the future with confidence based on the trustworthy name easyMarkets has built so far.

According to him, "the future of the industry belongs to those who have been consistently trustworthy counterparties for traders. With our history as our strongest asset, we look to the future with optimism."
