​

Dear clients from Thailand! ​

We are glad to announce the launch of Thai version of our website. It’s great news for our valuable Thai-speaking clients, who inspired us for this improvement. Now the whole OctaFX site is available in Thai. You can read company news, log into your personal area, receive letters from OctaFX in your native language!

Communication with clients is one of our top priorities, and we aim to understand the language you speak. Today we are proud to welcome Thai-speaking clients! OctaFX has a client-oriented vision that inspires us to excel our services and our performance. We continue adding new languages in our language portfolio. It means that the new launches are coming soon!

Stay tuned to learn more about our improvements and new features.

- Are you a sponsor for ThaiVisa Forum?
- Do you realize that thaivisa is not a forex forum or derivatives forum?
- Who is your prime broker? (the one who clear your A-book trades)
- do you have local bank deposit options for Thai residents? Some brokers who target Thai have ability or people to use [internet banking] at select Thai banks to deposit directly from their account as a bill pay. Withdrawals are also very fast this way also. Some brokers use an affiliate or 3rd party exchanger. This is somewhat acceptable, but the direct payment option is more precise and cheaper. Some of those agents charge up to 8% to in-exchange, and then again like 2-4% to outexchange. And this is cash directly deposited into a broker's account, not a different eCurrency like webmoney. Direct payment is virtually 0.5% fee as long as the exchange rate is fair.

There was a previous thread on this forum last week, but it got deleted I think. I hope you guys have cleared things up.

Hello 4evermaat!

Thank you for your questions!

- Yes, OctaFX is a sponsor for thaivisa.

- Sure, we realize that this is not a forex forum, but this thread is created under the section "Jobs, economy, banking, business, investments", so, I suppose it can be rather useful.

- Our clients' trades are sent directly to liquidity providers, for example, Lmax.

- It's a good and timely question, because we are just working on it and we are going to provide our Thai customers with this local bank deposit option in almost no time, so, stay tuned to our announcements!

Best regards,

OctaFX Rep.

For trading derivative products in Thailand, I currently trade on TFEX being the main recognised derivatives exchange in Thailand. Does your service offer access to TFEX and USD/THB futures? Or is it mainly OTC.

Could you explain to us a little more which regulators you deal with in Thailand, and on what basis OctaFX is permitted to offer products, service and advice to customers based in Thailand?

If as a customer in Thailand I had issues with the service you were providing in Thailand, and I was unable to reconcile differences amicably, which body in Thailand would we be able to turn to for redress and protection?

BTW Do you have a link to your website in Thailand? Would probably cover these type of things.

Cheers

Hello fletchsmile!

Thank you for your questions!

OctaFX doesn't offer access to TFEX and USD/THB futures, you can find all the relevant information on our trading conditions here.

Unfortunately, we can't have regulators in all of the countries where we provide our services, so, we don't deal with any regulators in Thailand, but OctaFX acts in full compliance with international legislation and regulation standards and is registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines under license number 19776 IBC 2011. You can review Customer Documents as well as AML policy and other important legal documents in the Legal Agreements section at www.octafx.com. Anyway, we've recently launced a Thai version of our website and we are going to provide our Thai customers with the local bank deposit option, so, we consider that these factors give as a kind of a permission to offer our services for Thai residents.

As we do not have any offices or representatives in Thailand at this time, unfortunately, it is not possible to refer to someone there, but in case you have any problems or questions while dealing with OctaFX, you can always refer to our Customer Support service, it is available 24/5 from Monday to Friday, they will definetely help you to resolve any issue you may have.

Best regards,

OctaFX Rep.

- So your order flow flow is 100% stp? Who is your prime broker or prime of prime? Is this only Lmax? I need to confirm from the order flow if you do have b-book or hybrid a/b book accounts. Not necessarily a bad thing, but transparency is important here.

- I also took a look at your awards. I noticed that no regulated brokers (except for maybe Cyprus) ever placed for the majority of these awards. I am glad that you did win an award, but I would be more curious to know the complete list of broker contestants for those awards. ForexReport, FxEmpire, et. al. certainly didn't seem the same type of publication as like ForexMagnates, LeapRate, FinanceFeeds, etc.

What is OctaFx most reliable broker at? The award review never goes into any details like a news article should or video if it was a live event.

Hello 4evermaat!

- We are totally ECN/STP broker and provide A booking only. I gave you Lmax as an example, actually, LMAX Exchange deal with many other banks and institutions which are provided at Lmax web-site. MetaTrader and cTrader are also among our liquidity providers.

- I can't find the list of nominees either, but that's not the issue of OctaFX, I suppose FX Empire just decided to put only the list of winners. "Most reliable broker" is a nomination which was granted to OctaFX based on the results of the voting which took place at FX Empire website and lasted for one month. According to Fx Empire this award "marks security, platform performance and general reliability”. OctaFX was also a nominee for "Best Broker", but we didn't get enough votes.

MetaTrader and cTrader are trading software platforms. Perhaps you made a typo, as you meant to list some of the other liquidity providers?

[4evermaat]

Also, during SNB (Jan 15, 2015), do you remember how long your platform was offline for chf pairs for? Some brokers were offline for as much as several days, and yet a few brokers continued as normal without any changes.

Oh yes, that's a typo, I am so sorry, of course these are trading platforms.

Sure, I remember this market event. OctaFX didn’t inflict any changes upon CHF cross clients trades and all the deposit and withdrawal requests were processed by the Financial department following the normal procedure. Information on this event is represented in our company news.

Round 15 Supercharged real contest winner: focus on trading! ​

OctaFX welcomes one more round winner of our Supercharged real contest! This contest is an exciting opportunity for both the beginners and the advanced traders. Mr. Wagiri from Indonesia was skilful and lucky enough to leave other participants behind. He was glad to share his strategy and trading tips that helped him to win:

Q: How do you feel about OctaFX Supercharged real contest?
A: I was very happy to be a part of the Supercharged real contest by OctaFX. I felt quite stressed when my points had a little difference at the end of the contest, but that's the art, the contest makes us more excited.

Q: How involved in the contest were you – was it taking all of your time?
A: No, I would just do an analysis, open a position and then put a Take Profit. Then I would leave to check it in a few hours later and so on. So, I didn’t spend too much time in front of the chart.

Q: What is the key factor to your success? Why are you better than everyone else?
A: The key to my success is simple. I make a plan about my trade and I follow it. Of course, any plan may fail, but when something goes wrong, I look for the most appropriate solution to the problem and apply it as soon as I can.

Q: What was your strategy? Have you developed a perfect plan?
A: I use a strategy that most people use. I just focus on one technique and always learn from my mistakes. Then I stick to this experience until it becomes a part of my instinct. In trading, the most important factors are instincts and timing. I’ve been trading for almost 3 years, and I’m sure: to be a good trader, you always have to learn from your mistakes and to try to fix them, even though you may experience the same failure up to hundreds or even thousands of times.

Q: Have you encountered a considerable loss?
A: Yes, I had substantial losses. However, I consider everything a lesson and motivation to survive and restore the profits in the future.

Q: Do you plan to win Tesla?
A: Yes! I will strive to win Tesla which is a very attractive prize.

Q: What advice can you give to your fellow participants of OctaFX Supercharged real contest?
A: My advice is to keep struggling to achieve what you want and not be too focused on your position: instead, focus on your trading. Then the victory will come to you.

If you haven’t participated in the Supercharged real contest yet, it’s high time for you to take the chance!

Register in the next round now and trade to win!
