Delta Trading enables structuring and configuration<br />
of virtual portfolios of customized groups of financial<br />
instruments.<br />
Any trading strategy can be back-tested in the Virtual<br />
Portfolio Module, risk-free. Moreover any virtual<br />
portfolio or part of it can be promptly converted into<br />
a Live one by placing a basket order. The convenience<br />
to monitor and analyze performance of any of the<br />
Virtual or Live Portfolios is ensured by the ROI<br />
(Return On Investment), P/L (Profit/Loss) and Index<br />
Live Charts available in the Virtual Portfolio module<br />
of Delta Trading.<br />
The number of ECN/STP<br />
<strong>Forex</strong> Brokers increased<br />
tremendously in the last year or two. In that respect,<br />
what makes you different from the others?<br />
Well, I totally agree this particular segment of the<br />
Retail e-FX sector has seen a vigorous growth recently.<br />
Deltastock offers a pure ECN/STP environment.<br />
Our Delta Trading L2 module integrates the price<br />
feeds and liquidity of a number of Liquidity providers<br />
– Banks, Market Makers, FX Brokerages.<br />
In fact, Deltastock is one of the first <strong>Forex</strong> brokers to<br />
offer a true ECN, where clients can not only see and<br />
choose a certain liquidity provider for the execution of<br />
their trades through STP (Straight Through Processing),<br />
but they are also able to track with which Liquidity<br />
Provider their order has been executed.<br />
The Delta Trading L2 module enables Client-to-Client<br />
order execution with no dealer intervention as well as<br />
trader’s direct access to the Interbank FX market by<br />
dealing with Deltastock Partners through STP.<br />

I should clarify that Deltastock is still a counterparty to<br />
client trades, nonetheless the <strong>com</strong>pany acts as a broker.<br />
This is the so-called Agency Execution Model – trade<br />
orders are routed to the respective Liquidity Provider or<br />
client on behalf of Deltastock. At the same time, for<br />
the purposes of ensuring full transparency of the<br />
ECN/STP trading, L2 module shows the names of the<br />
Liquidity Providers next to their live price feeds, which<br />
generate the liquidity pool and build market depth.<br />
Clients can either choose with which Liquidity<br />
provider to trade or place orders under the SMART<br />
Routing Regime – dealing at the best BID/ASK price<br />
of the market depth.<br />
The Delta Trading L2 module ensures the <strong>com</strong>petition<br />
among the FX quote feeds of the Liquidity Providers<br />
that translates into tight spreads for Deltastock Clients.<br />
Another very important advantage of L2 (ECN/STP)<br />
module is the ability for traders to open<br />
positions with one Broker, Bank or Market<br />
Maker and close them with another Liquidity<br />
Provider:<br />
• no need to open separate trading accounts<br />
• no losses from paying the spread;<br />
• no need to wire transfer funds for margin to<br />
different bank accounts<br />
• no different margin requirements<br />
• no swap for holding opposite positions<br />
Do you offer any additional services for<br />
novice or inexperienced traders?<br />
Clients less knowledgeable about FX Margin Trading<br />
as well as investors who pursue it to supplement their<br />
existing portfolio without having to learn a<br />
<strong>com</strong>pletely new market, are offered our <strong>com</strong>pany’s<br />
Managed <strong>Forex</strong> Account service. It follows the latest<br />
trends on the FX market and clients are offered a<br />
number of trading strategies to choose from. These<br />
strategies are provided by the <strong>com</strong>pany or third party<br />
experts and are automatically executed by Deltastock.<br />
Unlike other Managed <strong>Forex</strong> Service providers,<br />
Deltastock publishes only live performance data and<br />
no back-test results on its website.<br />
What are your <strong>com</strong>pany’s plans for future<br />
development?<br />
We plan to keep our business line of international<br />
market expansion by opening more branches across<br />
EU countries in the next couple of years. Our next<br />
stop is very likely to be Frankfurt, Germany, as the<br />
most probable home of the up<strong>com</strong>ing set-up of a<br />
Single European Financial Services Regulator.
