Your Bourse added floating leverage and floating commissions
Earlier this year, Your Bourse introduced two new features to its execution engine and risk management platform: floating leverage and floating commissions.
Floating leverage is a mechanism that brokers can use to adapt the amount of margin offered to their clients based on specific trade conditions. The risk management tool aims to minimize risks deriving from high volume trading since the dynamic leverage is based on varying factors. An essential component of the plugin allows brokers to preconfigure the leverage ratio before market close/open and around the news releases that are likely to increase volatility and price spikes.
Floating commissions are accessible on the MT4 bridge and give brokers the ability to adjust their commission rates on a trade-by-trade or client-by-client basis in real-time. With growing market complexity, the need to configure commissions has become prominent at both retail and institutional brokers, depending on their business model.
Your Bourse has been actively expanding the liquidity options available through its Liquidity Hub. Its network counts a number of prominent liquidity providers such as CFH Clearing and FXCM Pro and Scope Markets, to name a few.
In 2022, the technology vendor opened a new office in Limassol, Cyprus, a major global hub for forex and brokerage companies in Europe, as well as a business gateway to access Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
