Superior Technology Breeds Success in Forex Arena


NEW YORK, Dec. 3 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    Choice of trading platform is crucial for growth, according to players in recent consolidation

activities in the Forex space. 


    In October of 2008 the UK-listed company IG Group Holdings PLC 

(http://www.iggroup.com) acquired an 87.5 percent stake in Japanese online retail foreign exchange

trading company FXOnline Japan KK (FXO, 

http://www.fxonline.co.jp) for $260 million. Since 2004 FXO has been using the 

myForex trading platform provided by the US based software company FinaTek Services Corp

(http://finatek.com). FinaTek CEO Anatoly Tkach commented on the 

transaction: "This was the second time FXO scored big, and again with our help. We signed FXO in

December 2004 while they were serving as one of the local IBs for IFX in Japan.  We provided

them with the cutting edge myForex 

Trading Platform what allowed them to seamlessly switch from the IB to the Market Maker business

model without increasing the market risk, but 

tremendously raising the profit margin. Our robust multilingual Platform had 

overwhelmingly attracted the traders' audience by its stability, ease of use, 

customizable look and feel, convenient and detailed reporting, ability to trade right from the chart,

trade on the go, and many more amazing features. 

As a result, FXO was able to raise their client base almost ten-fold during the first year, and more

than 30 times up until now." 


    In December of 2006, 44.97% of FXO stake was acquired by FinTech Global Incorporated and

Mazuho Bank. According to FinTech CEO Nobumitsu Tamai, "FXO 

offered an ideal platform. The excellent operability and user-friendliness of 

FXO's platform helped to retain a support base of high-value trade users, placing the firm in the top

class of the industry." Mr. Tamai makes it clear 

that our technology chosen by FXO resulted in FXO's success that in turn made 

it desirable for recent acquisition by IG. 


    Mr. Tkach adds: "We benefit from the IG/FXO transaction by licensing our 

Platform to IG, and thus demonstrating that our flexible and scalable 

technology solution is ready for big market players." 


    Other companies have also enjoyed success with FinaTek technology 

solutions. Since 1996 the founders of FinaTek (Alexander Ryvin, Anatoly Tkach, 

Andrew Sinitsyn) designed and supervised the development of proprietary 

trading platforms for leading industry players like MGFG (recently acquired by 

RCG), CMS (the first US based Forex dealer to successfully implement FinaTek's 

Platform in 2003; they raised their client base hundred-fold since that time), 

FXCM (which became the largest Forex dealer in the United States), CBFX (later 

on acquired by IFX, and recently by CityIndex), FXSolutions (recently acquired 

by CityIndex), and many more.  All these companies have one thing in common: 

superior technology put them ahead of competition and allowed them to achieve 

astonishing growth patterns. This string of successes will likely continue as 

FinaTek comes out with more innovative products for Forex trading and more companies license

this outstanding technology.
