So you have a London office, but no FCA license? How does that even work..

Hello Shrike
Actually we do not have a legal entity registered in the UK providing brokerage services. So we are not obliged to obtain FCA license.

Indeed, you are registered in BVI but you are not regulated by BVI FSC.

Hello RoBik
Regarding your question about the regulation, let me note that we have already prepared all the documents and made an inquiry for obtaining regulation in BVI FSC. So we are in the process of getting it. In addition, I would like to add, that IFC Markets is the member of IFCM Group, which also includes a member like Infin Markets, totally regulated broker by CySec. So, if you give high importance to regulation, you may go to Infin Markets.

Hello, Dear Traders
I am going to present you Personal Composite Instruments and GeWorko Method

The concept of PCI is very simple and similar to currency pair trading (when the value of the base currency is expressed in units of the quoted one). However, PCI is much broader and can be used not only to create currency cross pairs, but also build quite complex investment portfolios and quote one portfolio in the units of another. Although the concept is very simple, it opens new horizons in financial analysis, based on being general and absolutely flexible, which is achieved by giving each asset an individual weight.
The new approach may be applied in various trading strategies some of which are listed below:

1. Spread trading, based on the search for differences in price dynamics of similar instruments;
2. Pair trading, based on matching a long position with a short one in two assets;
3. Searching for opportunities to enter the market for trading whole combinations of assets from different markets (stocks of different trading markets, currencies, indexes, commodities, metals etc);
4. Identification and analysis the periods of anomalous behavior of financial assets;
5. Optimization and a periodic rebalancing of the created portfolio in order to increase return or reduce risks;
6. Exchange of one portfolio with another within the concept of "good and bad portfolio";
7. Application of trading strategies, based on a long-term stable relationship between assets;
8. Hedging opportunities through building portfolios with certain sensitivity towards economic factors.

To summarize, Personal Composite Instruments and GeWorko Method are for professional traders, investors or financial analysts to study the complexity of interrelations between financial assets and their combinations. It makes testing and implementation of different trading strategies easy. In fact, traders go away from limits on the amount of available financial instruments or even markets and can take advantages of creating own instruments, reflecting their trading...

I would like to discuss the possibility that this broker provides. I mean geworko method. There is few of the brokers that can give such an opportunity, so that's why it becomes more confusing to me that people don’t know it.

Maybe the reason is that there is only few of those who knows what geworko is about? Can it be that all of you know about it?

Even if there are not so many traders that know about synthetic instruments, there should be a place where they gather to chat.

Actually, I think that this topic is relevant, but not widespread. Many professionals don’t know about synthetic instruments, although they are highly experienced in trading. There are also those who knows, but they don’t use it because they are ok without them.

So, it would be nice to have such discussion here.

And what is this method? Need more information

Geworko method is the capability to create synthetic instruments for trading; they are called composite tools too. You have the opportunity to create your own tool and not to use only those that are in the standard set.

What’s the matter with it? There are many currency pairs, so no way to create something new.

Well, if you create the tool based on pairs type, then it’s OK, nothing new is likely to be, but if you create such that in the base and quoted parts was more than 1 currency, or such action, then it is another matter. And this broker gives this opportunity.
