Dear Customers, Partners, and Friends,
InstaForex team would like to express heartfelt congratulation on Christmas and New Year. We wish you a very happy and joyful year ahead with great achievements, personal and career successes, new journeys and pleasant acquaintances, and the most important things - health, happiness and love.
Looking back on the year of 2013, we can say it was not that simple for business people. The difficult economic situation along with significant market volatility and other external economic factors to some extent affected big investors, households around the world, and all of us. However, we hope that you have gone unscathed through the past year and have become stronger, wiser and more experienced. For everyone, the year of 2013 was different but all of us planned our future and worked. We worked hard so that the next year would be more successful and would be the time of new beginnings and remarkable accomplishments. You should meet the New Year having these positive thoughts.
Summing up the results of 2013, Installable would like to take the opportunity to look back on the past year’s achievements most of which were possible thanks to you, our clients and partners! In early 2013, InstaForex extended its wide range of bonuses, adding 45% Bonus . The beginning of the summer was marked with unparalleled 250% Bonus  for new customers.



The company went on with its technical development as well. It launched several trading servers in the regions mostly overloaded by trading activity. Now InstaForex numbers 11 trading serves and over 30 data centers all over the world. This fact contributes to the company’s competitive advantage in terms of the speed of orders execution and real-time quotes provision. A popular service of options trading was also extended enabling InstaForex clients to trade both intraday and expiry options.
As well as all the preceding years, the year of 2013 was the year of international recognition for InstaForex brining more titles, prizes and awards. Thus, the company’s awards  received in 2013 include Best ECN Broker title by UK Forex Awards, Best Global Retail FX Broker certificate by European CEO, Best Broker Northern Asia by World Finance Awards, and Best Broker in Asia by The China International Online Trading Expo. InstaForex held four conferences  in 2013 in different cities worldwide. It also participated in ten events devoted to financial markets, particularly, to the forex market. In 2013, Janko Tipsarević , the Serbian tennis player included in the top ten of ATP rankings, became the face of the broker. Also, 2013 was the year when InstaForex became the sponsor of HKm Zvolen , a leading Slovak ice hockey team, and an official partner of the Anglo-Russian Marussia F1 Team . And finally, a customer of InstaForex won the Best Trading, Luxury Driving campaign that raffled Porsche Cayenne. We remind you that InstaForex will hold Lotus Evora  prize draw! Once again, we wish you and your families merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! All the best in the new year to come!

Liverpool in Kazan: InstaForex clients enjoyed Europa League match

An ordinary day in Kazan, November 5, was marked by an outstanding event for football fans. That day, the Europa League game between Rubin Kazan and Liverpool FC was played at the Kazan Arena stadium. The UK team arrived in Russia headed by new manager Jurgen Klopp. Of course, we could not miss such an event and decided to make a surprise for our largest clients in Tatarstan's capital and nearby cities inviting them to a buffet in our Kazan office. But the biggest surprise was the meeting with Liverpool FC ambassadors Ben Latty and Mark Rollins.

Then, the guests were driven to the game. After the 1­1 tie in Liverpool, the teams were focused on a victory. The match was intense. InstaForex clients and representatives as well as the company's UK partners were watching the game keenly, cheering their favorites.

Despite the brilliant performance of the goalkeeper, Rubin Kazan lost 0­1 to Liverpool. The Reds arrived in Kazan and showed that the tie at Anfield was just a coincidence. Liverpool played an amazing game and probably due to pouring rain failed to score more goals. Still, UK fans were happy with the result and InstaForex clients received unforgettable impressions on the superb game and wonderful evening.

Success story: InstaForex client increases his deposit tenfold from $1,500 just in two weeks



We are delighted to share another success story of our InstaForex client, the same trader as you are. Today we are going to tell you about Sergey Fevralyov, who managed to increase his initial deposit tenfold from $1,500 just in two weeks.

We have to admit that success did not come to Sergey overnight. He earned his luck through patience and hard work. Sergey says he has been trading on Forex since 2008 and joined the ranks of InstaForex traders in 2009, staying with us up to the present moment. “I started trading in 2008, when the market in Russia was evolving rapidly. After almost a year of trading with my first broker, I was disappointed with a number of conditions and left. I left for InstaForex," Sergey confides.

Actually, a tenfold built-up to the deposit is not the first time when Sergey succeeded in the currency market with InstaForex. Through 8 years of working in Forex, Sergey Fevralyov purchased a car for the money he earned from trading and now keeps on adding to his deposit and makes profit. He also regularly becomes winner and runner-up in various campaigns prepared by InstaForex. Sergey did not win a premium car, though he reached the top positions of the Real Scalping chart several times. Followers of the contest digest must remember his name re-appearing among the winners.

Sergey's latest achievement is an enormous success and demands a fair amount of luck because it is not that easy to boost the initial deposit in five or even ten times. Meanwhile, Sergey Fevralyov continues to make steady profits and increases trade volumes, being one of the most outstanding traders in Russia. It will be enough to mention that he holds an account with $45,000 involved in trades. Sergey reveals a serious approach to currency trading where the key to success lies in patience and experience. What is more, he is a striking example of a successful forex trader who has such traits as will and determination to make decent money.

“What I liked about InstaForex is their attention to my needs. I can always settle any issue with the team. It has been exciting to take part in contests. I even ranked high in them. I am also attracted by bonuses on every deposit. In order to make money in the forex market, you have to pursue your strategy and don't give up if you incur losses," Sergey Fevralyov comments on his experience.

We wish Sergey profitable trading with InstaForex! And we hope you, dear traders, have the same success stories with even bigger profits.

The referendum is broadly expected to cause turbulence in global financial markets no matter whether the vote will be for or against Brexit. Any developments in voting and any outcome will evidently make a profound impact on the forex market, first and foremost on the GBP and EUR currency pairs. Therefore, these instruments will be trading with record high volatility throughout next week.

To protect clients' positions, the company decided to change marginal requirements for certain trading instruments on a temporary basis.

The following amendments are introduced for the week from June 20 until June 27:

1.The minimum margin requirement could be raised to 2% for the following currency pairs: GBP/USD, EUR/GBP, GBP/CHF, GBP/JPY, GBP/AUD, GBP/CAD, and GBP/NZD as well as all exotic crosses involving the GBP.

2.The margin for some stock indices such as #N100, #DAX, and #FTSE could be increased several-fold from a standard requirement in case of higher volatility.

3.The minimum margin requirement could be raised to 0.5% for the following currency pairs: EUR/USD, EUR/JPY, EUR/CHF, EUR/AUD, EUR/CAD, and EUR/NZD as well as all exotic cross pairs involving the EUR.

As you are aware of higher volatility and big changes in marginal requirements, we strongly advise you to consider seriously that trading the above-mentioned instruments entails grave risks for the whole week.

Please adjust your trading strategy for the circumstances. You can either minimize or refrain from trading these instruments. Besides, make sure you have enough available funds in your account to maintain open positions.

We would like to warn you that such changes in trading conditions might not be final. In case of higher volatility and low liquidity, further restrictions could be imposed without advance notice.

Success with InstaForex: company’s clients closed more than 200,000 winning trades on Brexit news.

On June 23, 2016 the Britons voted in the referendum on whether the UK should remain or leave the European Union.

The outcome came as a surprise to most market players in Forex. On the day when Brexit was declared, InstaForex clients closed more than 200,000 winning trades on GBP, thus gaining total profit of over $6 million.

Importantly, despite extreme volatility and a complicated market environment in the course of the referendum and vote count, InstaForex offered the most favorable trading conditions, in particular leverage of 1:1,000 for several popular currency pairs. At the same time, a lot of brokers restricted leverage to 1:20-1:33.

Hedging now available on МТ5

Dear Traders!

You now have an opportunity to choose either a hedging or netting arrangement when opening an account for trading via MetaTrader 5 platform. MT5 accounts were originally created for exchange trading based on the netting system. This implies that a trader can only have one position opened on a given financial instrument at one time, and all subsequent operations on the asset will lead to a change of volume, closure, or reversal of the deal.

The new version of MetaTrader 5 now features the hedging system. It enables traders to open as many orders on a specified trading instrument as they like, including opposite positions. That way you can apply locking strategies, i.e. open an order in the opposite direction if you are already running a losing deal.

Both hedging and netting accounts have certain benefits. Before MetaQuotes Software Corp. added the hedging feature to MT5, traders who preferred hedging could only use the MT4 platform. From now on, hedging has been made available to MetaTrader 5 users as well.

If you are a holder of an MT5 account and would like to switch to hedging, please contact our client support team for assistance.
