Online forex broker OctaFX was established in 2011 and is regulated under St.Vincent and the Grenadines law. The online forex broker is particularly popular in Indonesia, and they are curently sponsoring one of major soccer club in the country, PERSIB Bandung. Additionally, the broker have held monthly demo trading competition that is quite a favorite among Indonesian traders for more than two years.

On another note, we have noted a certain trend among forex brokers in regard of trading platform. Although Metatrader4 remains a favorite among forex traders, brokers are now moving on to provide alternative platforms like cTrader and SIRIX along with Metatrader 4. Earlier this month, Japan's Monex Inc even axed Metatrader 4 and chose to focus on TradeStation and Tradable. The news follows the offering of SIRIX by Australian forex broker IC Market and Tradable by FCA-regulated One Financial Market in August. Although the use of Metatrader4 is deemed convenient by majority, other platforms has developed enough comparative advantage that interest forex traders, both newcomers and old-timers, and continue to expand themselves.
