Forex 2017 praha

By our estimation, there are literally thousands of Forex, CFD, spread betting and binary options brokers across the world. Most of those brokers operate (only) online, taking retail clients’ deposits electronically via credit cards, Skrill, NETELLER, and other means.
However only a handful of those Forex brokers are licensed and overseen by a recognized national regulator, such as the FCA in the UK, ASIC in Australia, or CySEC in Cyprus. A regulator’s job is to set rules for both brokers and traders in their jurisdiction such as maximum use of leverage, slippage, and client bonuses, and to oversee the operations of brokers such as checking minimum capital levels, setting advertising standards, and the segregation of client funds from company funds.
Only a handful of Forex brokers are indeed properly licensed and overseen by a recognized national regulator.
LeapRate’s List of Regulated Forex Brokers includes many of the world’s leading brokers, and includes only brokers which are licensed by a recognized governmental regulatory body. We strongly recommend that if you trade Forex and CFDs, do so only with a broker properly regulated in your jurisdiction.

The conference program is structured in 45-60 minute talks, in which the speakers will present as much know-how on their topic as possible. You will gain a lot of experience from a number of lecturers in the course of the day.
At this point, the following talks are confirmed:
“Portfolio Optimization: When You Don’t Know the Future (or the Past)” by Rob Carver , independent systematic futures trader, and author of Systematic Trading: A Unique New Method for Designing Trading and Investing Systems .
What effect does uncertainty of the past have when estimating inputs on the notoriously unstable algorithms for portfolio optimization? Rob explores this issue, looks at some commonly used solutions, and also introduces some alternative methods.
“When Backtests Meet Reality” by Johann Christian Lotter , system trader developer and author of The Black Book of Financial Hacking: Passive Income with Algorithmic Trading .
Comparing live results with backtest results can give valuable information about the validity of the backtest. Johann will present an algorithm for calculating, from live results, whether the backtest is still representative for the system, it is no longer representative,, or it never was. This can help the trader to improve his backtest methods and to decide whether to continue a live system in a drawdown or market change.
“Practical Tips on Focusing Strategies from the Point of View of Analysis and the Results of Live Trading of Many Hundreds of Trading Systems” by Martin Lembak , associate manager of a commodity hedge fund in Chicago.
Martin has gained experience with ATS mainly by overseeing and executing many hundreds of automatic strategies in real trading during his work in broker companies in the USA. He has knowledge of the faster intra-day systems as well as swing and trend systems on many future markets. Martin will touch on many topics, including the main characteristics of functional automated systems, which systems tend to fail after going live, and how to properly execute automated systems in live trading.
“Trading Systems and Money Management” by Thomas Stridsman , fund manager for Alfakraft Fonder and author of two books on systems trading: Trading Systems That Work and Trading Systems and Money Management .
Thomas will share his experience with money management on the portfolio aggregate level. He will discuss particular ways it can be done inside the money management algorithm of a trading system.
“What Sets Professional and Retail Traders Apart?” by Andreas Clenow , Chief Investment Officer for ACIES Asset Management, a Zurich-based asset management firm with a nine-figure asset base, and author of Following the Trend and Stocks on the Move .
There is much mystique and lore around professional trading and how organizations like hedge funds and prob traders operate. Some misunderstandings and myths can lead to dangerous trading approaches and excess risk taking. This practical presentation will outline the key differences in approach and methods used by the professional community, and retail traders can benefit from understanding the other side. The presentation will cover concepts common on the professional side but often neglected on the retail side. We will look at how to approach trading model design, how to define risk, how to scale and deploy risk, what type of trading strategies are reasonable, and what kind of results are realistic. The presentation aims to be practical and of direct use for traders dealing in stocks, futures, currencies, and other markets. Concrete examples will be used to demonstrate ideas and principles.
“System Development Process” by Dominik Jaretzke , system trader developer and founder of Mull Capital.
Dominik will share his experience and tips with development and live trading of swing trading strategies on futures markets that are used in his company, Mull Capital, and are suited for retail traders. His strategies are traded through Striker, which tracks their live performance, including related costs such as slippage and commissions. According to the Striker report, his strategies are among the best that are currently traded on the platform. In his talk, Dominik will describe the principles that led him to such results.
"Fast and Universal Prototyping of Trading Strategies" by Petr Podhajský , independent trader and Publisher of finannik. cz.
Algorithmic traders can use a variety of ideas, mathematical models, and alternative data. Very often, it is therefore desirable to test the basic ideas quickly and cheaply so that it is clear whether it makes sense to go deeper in the research. And for the purpose of prototyping, many traders now use Python. Petr will show why it is and how to get started. And all this on a concrete example of the statistical arbitrage strategy that many traders use in their portfolios.
Who Is the Event Meant For?

Best CNB (Czech Republic) Regulated Forex Brokers 2017.
Forex brokers with residing companies in the Czech Republic are regulated by the Czech National Bank (CNB). We have compiled a list of the best CNB regulated brokers. Our data is created on a variety of parameters, including product, service and reliability.
Introduction to CNB Regulation.
The regulation in the Czech Republic differs from other European countries in the fact that the Central Bank has regulatory power over financial institutions and markets, rather than an independent regulatory agency. Along with the regulatory responsibilities over financial markets and institutions, the CNB boasts a fair amount of other powers and obligations. Including the issuing bank notes and coins, establishment of monetary policies, regulation of the banking sector, the monitoring of payment systems, and to oversee the Czech capital markets.
As mentioned before, the CNB is the National Bank in the Czech Republic. There are seven branches spread throughout the country with headquarters in Prague. The Czech constitution is the only authority setting the rules and guidelines for the CNB to act upon, resulting in the authority being free from any public intervention. Therefore, the CNB has many responsibilities set forth by the government and is generally responsible for overseeing different aspects of the Czech Republic economy. The CNB is made up of various departments to handle the overwhelming number of tasks its involved in. In addition to the CNB regulation on forex brokers, the regulation is also in compliance with the MiFID and enforces the guidelines set by them.
CNB Responsibilities.
The CNB has numerous responsibilities due to its huge overlay of authority. In addition to it’s responsibilities mentioned earlier, the CNB is also responsible for non-banking financial institutions and companies that deal in insurance, pension funds, e-payment gateways, credit unions, securities firms, fund managers, investment companies, and the foreign exchange market. The CNB is responsible for all aspects pertaining to the regulation, supervision, communication, and implementation of their responsibilities.
How CNB Regulation Protects You.
The CNB is put in place to protect the Czech economy as well as the protection of consumers and investors. They provide protection in several ways.
First, they initiate and enforce regulatory guidelines on all financial institutions and companies. As well, they issue warnings of fraudulent brokerages and provide educational information for investors through various methods such as schools and online programs and websites. Also, the CNB will deal directly with the consumer regarding any complaints they may have about any financial malpractices an such. Resulting in a direct investigation led by them if needed.
All in all, the CNB does a very good job and has a lot of power when it comes to the protection of investors and consumers.
Guidelines for CNB Regulated Brokers.
The CNB does not have as many in depth regulatory guidelines due to its mass amount of responsibility with various aspects of the Czech economy. It does not specialize in the regulation of only forex brokers. However, some important guidelines set by the CNB are:
Brokers must have segregated accounts for holding client’s funds. Brokerages must keep complete financial records and submit periodic audit reports. Companies must have an insolvency procedure in place to protect investors funds in the case of bankruptcy or legal issues. All companies must abide by the guidelines and rules of conduct set forth by the CNB, or cease to do business in the Czech Republic.
