Barcelona, Spain, March 27, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Andrey Pavlov and Ilya Holeu, co-Founder of cTrader, have been named “Forex Person of the Year 2012” by FXstreet.com, the independent Forex information website.

FXstreet.com explains why the people behind cTrader have been given this recognition: “cTrader takes a further step toward transparency in the market creation process, and the functions offered by the platform makes it more versatile than other existing trading platforms by offering micro-lots, inverted spreads or partial executions, to offer but a few examples. These characteristics don’t constrain the trader and force them to adopt all-in all-out or over-leveraged strategies. Other advantages of the product are direct market access, mobile access, cloud hosting for algorithmic trading and the fact it is C# programmable.”

Andrey Pavlov and Ilya Holeu said they would like to express the highest gratitude to their clients, who have been rewarded for the trust they placed in Spotware, and their talented team of developers and FX industry experts.

FXstreet.com's Forex Person of the Year title pays tribute to a person or a team of people behind that positively contributed to make the Forex world better, more respected and more transparent during the previous year. The focus is innovation, transparency and quality.

Before announcing the Forex Person of The Year 2012, FXstreet.com issued a list of 4 finalists for this title. The other 3 candidates were:

Gal Ron from ConversionPros and Michael Greenberg from Forex Magnates

In May 2012, the first iFXEXPO took place in Limassol, Cyprus. This event was the very first B2B expo for the Forex industry and brought together 1,200 service providers and brokers.

In November, Michael Greenberg’s Forex Magnates Summit 2012 was held in London and proved to be a huge success too. It gathered 350 CEO’s and top executives of the forex market, something that is not simple nowadays in an increasingly connected world.

After that success, ConversionPros teamed up with Forex Magnates to organize another event in January 2013, in Macau. The event, which was attended by over 1,250 visitors and 55 exhibitors and sponsors, brought together Asian brokers and vendors together with foreign technology and liquidity providers.

Lior Nabat, Founder and CEO of Tradency Inc.

In February 2012, Tradency decided to change its business model: instead of charging brokers volume-based fees, it now charges technology fees (which would then allow brokers to focus on client acquisition).

Brokers seem to understand and like the potential of this change, and the Tradency platform was successfully implemented by new brokers along the year 2012. Additionally, since December 2012, the powerful and visually appealing platform is now supporting CFDs, including commodities like Gold and Oil, equity indexes, and individual stocks.
