Company News.

As we announced in previous news, we will make the scheduled updates to improve the Company’s products and services based on the results collected and the feedbacks received from our Customers and Partners.

Today we inform our Customers that our specialists have carried out works to increase quality and stability of the servers operation. In its turn, it allowed us to increase the response accuracy of pending orders and the speed of generating account statements of all account types. It is also important to note that we have achieved the stable work of our Customers with the iPA-Investor account, and incorrect display of information in the Portfolio Long List has been fixed. Moreover, tools for sorting and filtering in the Long List of iPA-Managers, as previously announced, will be available for full use on February 11, 2017.

We also would like to announce that in the nearest future trading results (profit obtained) of each Portfolio will not be displayed in pips, as it is now, but will be displayed in money. This feature will allow iPA-Investors to view real profit and the amount of funds, which the Portfolio Manager manages while selecting the Portfolio to copy his/her trading signals, i.e. it will influence positively the degree of confidence in each Portfolio.

As before, we improve our services and provide our Customers and Partners with the most favorable and profitable conditions to work comfortably and achieve high trading results.

It has not been a long time since the beginning of 2017, but even today, we are ready to offer a new opportunity for our Customers — publication in the Portfolio Long List.

Starting from January 28, 2017, each iPA-Investor will be able to publish his/her Portfolio, and therefore, receive the status of Portfolio Manager.

We will update in the nearest future the processes that provide an opportunity to copy trading signals of the Portfolio to the accounts of the Customer, who has allocated his/her own funds under management. Thus, the Company’s Customers who are interested in obtaining profit will be able to select any published Portfolio and will be able to add their funds to this Portfolio.

The higher the trading results of the Portfolio will be in the Long List, the more Customers will pay attention to its efficiency and will be able to select the Portfolio, which complies with their financial interests. Therefore, the Portfolio Manager will be able to improve his/her positions significantly, approach to the victory in UBK Markets Contest as well as to increase his/her own income and make it rising. Thus, the publication in the Long List already ensures the participation in the Contest.

We inform the Customers of the following changes in the Company services:

• Selecting the display of Portfolio trading results. From now on, the iPA-Investor can select the convenient way to display trading results of the Portfolio — “Income in USD” or “Yield in %”.
• Displaying information in the account statements. The account statements display information according to UTC time zone, regardless of browser settings.
• Trading conditions for the iPA-Investor account. We have changed trading conditions in order to improve the quality of money management (reduce the number of multiple copying of iPA-Managers’ trading signals with a different trading strategy) and to increase the efficiency of Portfolio management). The minimum deposit, as before, depends on the total volume of funds under management of the iPA-Manager, but from now on it constitutes:
  
  — 50 USD if there are no funds available;
  — 25 USD if the total volume of funds equals 50 USD or more.

Please note that the Long List of iPA-Managers will be updated on February 4, 2017. The most convenient ways to search/select the best and stable iPA-Managers will be added — various filters and sorting principles, which in general will help you to make the right financial decision.

We are confident that new opportunities and updated services of the Company aimed at improving the quality, efficiency and convenience of their use will help to achieve success and strengthen the financial condition of our Customers.

Please note that an iPA-Investor acquires the status of Portfolio Manager after the publication of his/her Portfolio and becomes a full participant in the Contest.

We would like to inform that the specialists of our Company have conducted research and analyzed the results of system operation. This research determined the necessity to reconsider the principles of ranking in the Long List of iPA-Managers. Previously, trading strategies of iPA-Managers were published in descending order of “Yield” indicator. As our research and practice have shown, in addition to yield, the quality of its obtaining has the crucial importance as well, i.e. its stability. Therefore, the Long List is sorted considering the quality of profit obtained and the volume of income received.

Since December 24, 2016, the principle of ranking trading results in the Long List is based on descending order of the ratio of profit stability to the total yield.

Modifying the construction principles of the Long List will allow:

• iPA-Investors to see in the first positions those iPA-Managers who show not only profitable trading but the quality of the profit received as well, i.e. trading stability. This will allow iPA-Investors to increase their capital more confidently.
• iPA-Managers to hold leading positions provided that the balance line on his/her account grows steadily regardless the volume of profit obtained.

Thus, the Company continues its research, and in the near future we are going to make updates aimed to search for the optimal model to work with iPA-Managers’ trading results.
