Tickmill stands strong with clients in the wake of Swiss Franc shock

As you may already know, yesterday morning there was a very sudden and massive move in Swiss Franc pairs. CHF pairs have never seen this record-high volatility.
Within few moments EURCHF dropped to below 1 from an early morning solid-high above 1.20. Other CHF pairs experienced similar extreme moves seen with EURCHF.

What does it mean for traders?

Of course, it was a golden-opportunity for many traders to earn quite a lot. Clients of many brokers, however, were not able to profit from this move due to requotes and rejects. Many brokers have started to cancel Client profits with reference to various causes and contract conditions. We are very sorry to see that happening!

Why Tickmill Clients remain calm?

Simple! Because as always, we didn’t issue a single re-quote and our Clients can keep their profits in their pockets.

We are proud to report that it is business as usual at Tickmill as client trading and all other processes are going normally.

Tickmill is proud of its strong reputation and integrity. We thank our customers for their continued loyalty and welcome new traders who want to experience outstanding service and execution.

This is Tickmill’s approach to trading and serving our clients! We welcome all new Clients!

Tickmill announced today its readiness to buy client portfolios and assets of FX brokers who have run into difficulties due to recent market events related to record Swiss Franc volatility.

With a strong capital base Tickmill is looking forward to seize this historic opportunity and significantly increase its client base and market share.

The management was able to foresee recent Swiss Franc developments. As a result, the company was not affected by market moves thanks to the excellent risk management systems and Tickmill’s directors, who have over 15 years of experience in the FX industry.

Tickmill stands strong to onboard unlimited number of new clients and is also able to absorb FX brokers who lack sufficient capital for operations.

Tickmill appoints former GFT executive Sudhanshu Agarwal as Global CEO

Sudhanshu Agarwal has previously held positions at respected brokerage firms, such as GFT and AvaTrade in Australia, and now joins the management team of Tickmill

Retail FX broker Tickmill announced today the appointment of Sudhanshu Agarwal as Global Chief Executive Officer effective January 28, 2015.

After a decade of holding key positions at respected brokerage firms, such as GFT and AvaTrade in Australia, Sudhanshu Agarwal now joins the management team of Tickmill. Mr. Agarwal has previously overseen all key aspects of the brokerage business with a strong focus on customer experience, regulatory compliance and high performance forex operations.

This appointment follows Estonian firm Armada Markets having moved away from retail FX business and transferring its retail and commercial direct FX business to Seychelles based Tickmill.

Sudhanshu started in the industry at GFT and most recently sat on the Board of Directors for regulated firms, such as USGFX and Responsible Manager for Direct FX. Previously he served as CEO – Australia for AvaTrade while launching the Australian branch from the implementation phase through to live operations.

As Responsible Manager (RM) for ASIC approved firms in derivatives and foreign exchange, Sudhanshu ensures Tickmill will benefit from his lengthy industry experience in meeting different-standard compliance, finance, AML/CTF, and customer funds segregation obligations and requirements.

Sudhanshu says he is determined to “provide an honest service that is client focused and delivers the best trading conditions to the client. With Tickmill, I have the opportunity to develop a company on those main principles.”

He continues, “I have had most of my former years of education in the service industry, hence providing quality customer service is part of my DNA.”

Natalija Kozlovska, Tickmill VP of Marketing comments, “Our team pursues the clear vision to have Tickmill recognized as a respected leader in the retail financial brokerage industry, a customer-preferred broker for high-quality trading services and an excellent customer experience. Sudhanshu shares the vision with the team and will be a great leader to take the company to new heights.”

Amongst current Tickmill’s attractions to retail brokerage clients are, spreads from zero pips, a transparent ECN (full STP and DMA) platform permitting all strategies including scalping, and a wealth of diverse trading instruments currently including 64 currency pairs and precious metals, while CFDs, and related commodities will be introduced over the coming weeks.

[uncle gober]

Tickmill, a new entrant to the online FX and CFD market has come out of January, with its head held high.

The CEO of Tickmill, Sudhanshu Agarwal states “I am proud to state that even after covering all losses of our clients during the SNB announcement, Tickmill has been able to post a healthy profit for the first month of its operations.”

Mr. Agarwal continues to say, “It is a testament to our whole team that follows the checks and balances set in place by the regulator that has allowed us to be in such a position despite the roller coaster ride that this month’s volatility has brought.”

Natalija Kozlovska, Head of Marketing comments, “Our values of having complete transparency and providing clients with high quality trading services matched with customer focused service has helped Tickmill grow its client base over the month.”

Ms. Kozlovska further reports that “most of our clients have come as a result of referrals from our existing happy clients.”

Tickmill is authorised and regulated as a Securities Dealer by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), Seychelles with a licence number SD008.

Tickmill Broadens its Customer Appeal as a Trader-Friendly Brokerage by Introducing Eight Key CFDs

Client-oriented global ECN broker Tickmill announced today the availability of CFDs in its diverse product line.

Keeping a key promise made to Tickmill’s discerning customer base of experienced traders, the brokerage has followed through on its commitment to launch CFDs in its very first quarter of operations.

Sudhanshu Agarwal, CEO of Tickmill explains, “This is a very important step forward for Tickmill as CFDs are popular and widely traded instruments. The availability of eight major CFDs covering key stock indices for Germany, Japan, Europe, the United Kingdom, the USA, as well as WTI Crude Oil, will cement the Tickmill’s reputation as a broker with truly global trading appeal.”

A CFD, also known as ‘Contract for Difference’, is a derivative product that gives opportunity to make money from both falling and rising markets. And because there is no expiry date, a CFD therefore allows traders to hold their positions for as long as they wish.

The eight major CFDs introduced by Tickmill are based on the most liquid markets hence providing its traders the best opportunity to succeed. Overall the flexibility of CFDs provides an excellent hedge against losses. In fact, traders can easily use CFDs to protect themselves against unexpected market movements.

Our traders have requested CFD trading and we are proud to deliver these contracts which cover the most popular stock indices as well as the world’s most heavily traded commodity…

Tickmill continues to make every possible effort to ensure its position as a respected leader in the retail financial brokerage industry. The delivery of these instruments is one of the fundamental steps we are making towards our commitment.

WHAT MAKES TICKMILL DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BROKERS?

It is a known fact that many companies spend a lot of money and resources acquiring new clients, but don’t spend the same amount on retaining them. This is wrong.

At Tickmill we believe and understand that a successful client is one who will stay as long as possible with us. We genuinely want our clients to succeed and that is why we allow all trading styles including news trading, scalping, and arbitrage which are generally not allowed by other brokers due to a fear of making internal losses.

We are more concerned about having satisfied traders (and enjoying the benefits of that goodwill) rather than imposing arbitrary trading style restrictions. I believe if you have faith in your clients, they will reciprocate and do the right thing by you. And in fact, the proof is already visible in our client list. When I examine our client list and their trading activity, I find most of them are professional traders.

A key part of making all these good things happen is the Tickmill team. Our team has a lot of talented people who share the same principles of creating and fostering a positive work environment and this positive energy flows back to our clients.

As an example, in our very first month we encountered the Swiss National Bank announcement. The fallout from that even showed how brokers treat their clients and it gave me immense pleasure when every single member of the team voted in favour of standing by our principles. We allowed clients to keep their profits and paid for any losses (from our company account) that clients incurred as a result of the announcement.

This is the level of transparency, ethics and standards that I am proud to be associated with.

Find out the success story of the top Introducing Broker at Tickmill.

Read Efendy’s interview below:

How did you become an Introducing Broker?

I was searching for a true ECN broker when I saw Tickmill. After using their services, I decided to become an Introducing Broker because of the broker’s quality, no complaints from their clients and also no negative reviews.

For how long have you been an Introducing Broker?

I have been an IB since 2013.

Why did you choose Tickmill as a broker to introduce?

I chose Tickmill because they are fair, transparent and honest, have the best server execution and do not restrict any strategies

How do you manage to combine trading and being an IB?

Besides trading, I have free time, so I use it to serve and educate people as an IB, so that they know more about ECN brokers.

What tools and channels do you use to attract new clients?

I build community for sharing trading strategies, do social media and forum posting and also offer cashback rebates for clients.

What is the most difficult thing about being an IB?

The difficulty is to make a client trust and feel comfortable with an introduced broker.

What is the best thing about being an IB?

Best thing is that I get to meet many great traders and interact with a great community.

What would you recommend people who think of becoming an IB?

I suggest them to choose the broker that gives more benefits to traders – like Tickmill.

Are you satisfied with our services and is there anything we could improve?

I am satisfied with Tickmill. I hope that Tickmill will offer more services, especially for a trader to be able to make a deposit in Asian time.

How would you rate the functionality of Tickmill’s IB Room? What additional features would you like to have there?

Tickmill’s IB room is quite complete. It could include more information about clients so that an IB can provide them with support and education if their trading decreases. It would also be good to have an ‘IB-to-client’ type of internal transfer as an additional feature.

For more great prizes, check our Trader of the Month contest with a $1,000 prize granted every month. We wish all our traders success and may the best ones win!
