We would like to inform you that according to requirements of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), it is necessary to make changes in trading conditions provided by Cyprus Investment Firms (CIF) for customers to execute trades in the financial market on their own.
Our Company is required to change trading conditions of Live accounts according to the current standards and requirements. As provided by the above regulatory requirements, from now on, the size of leverage for these types of accounts will depend on the financial instrument. For major financial instruments (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, USD/JPY, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, NZD/USD) the leverage will be established by default without exceeding the level of 1:30 taking into account the current trading conditions. For additional financial instruments the leverage size will be 1:20.
On the basis of the updates mentioned above, we have decided to change trading conditions for iPA-Investor accounts as well, which will allow us to bring trading conditions to a common standard concerning the use of leverage. The previous leverage size was 1:50 for accounts with the volume of funds from 20 to 10,000 USD. Since publication of this news, the leverage for iPA-Investor accounts with the volume of funds up to 10,000 USD on the balance will be determined by the type of financial instrument and will be:
Please note that due to the changes in trading conditions for iPA-Investor accounts, the yield, published in the Long List of iPA-Managers, will be calculated taking into account the change in leverage.
UBK Markets specialists have conducted scheduled works on improving functionality of the provided services in order to make the use of the Company’s products and services more convenient.
Now it has become easier and more convenient for iPA-Investors to monitor the status of their accounts in the Portfolio. The previously added ability to select the chart display for each iPA‑Investor account in the Portfolio (the profit chart in the deposit currency or the chart of dynamics of the iPA-Manager’s trade profitability in pips) was improved by introducing the mechanism to save settings when switching the chart display. Thus, when moving to other website pages and sections, as well as when logging out of “My Account” section, the selected chart display will be saved and set by default. You still have to click on a certain button in the block containing parameters of the iPA-Investor account in order to change the display mode.
UBK Markets info reference website is now available in the English language, which allows the Company’s Customers worldwide to learn helpful information on how to use all our products and services. We will expand gradually the existing database of reference materials and supplement it with new articles, which will significantly help you in your work with products and services of UBK Markets.
We also optimized algorithms of intelligent processing of trading signals for Processed accounts of iPA-Managers. This allowed us to improve the accuracy of forecasts regarding Managers’ activities provided that they follow the iPA technology trading rules. Thus, the efficiency of the improved processing algorithms, compared to previous ones, makes it possible to increase the profit stability in the Processed accounts by 15%.
We also inform you that the launch of the “Portfolio Manager” service and the opportunity to copy trading signals in the Portfolio were rescheduled due to the fact that the Company is actively involved in the most progressive direction — the crypto industry. We create unique solutions based on the Blockchain technology in order to provide our Customers and Partners with the most beneficial and promising ways of getting profit.
We believe that new opportunities will help you to effectively use the Company’s products and services in order to achieve stable financial results.
