Protect yourself in the financial markets: 8 useful tips for choosing a broker

Choosing a reliable broker to invest with isn’t always easy. OctaFX outlines eight tips on how to protect yourself in the markets and find a trusted broker to start your financial journey.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 21 July 2022 – Financial market trading is getting bigger every day. With so many brokers offering their services, finding the right one can be difficult. What should you look for in a broker to get the best out of trading in the financial markets and feel safe? There’s no one easy answer, but there are many tips that will help you on the way.

Types of brokers

It is important to choose the type of broker you will trade with according to your goals and investment approach.

Cryptocurrency brokers and exchanges are a way to go if you find it easy to navigate highly volatile markets and want to invest in cryptocurrencies. However, bear in mind that the crypto market has experienced devastating crashes leaving many investors with heaps of coins worth nothing. The most recent example is the 2022 crypto crash. Nevertheless, there emerged tens of thousands of crypto millionaires in the last ten years due to the explosive growth of some cryptocurrencies.

Investing with a stock broker usually implies allocating considerable funds and playing long-term. Stock prices often rise or decline simply because of companies’ policies, over which investors have no control, making price movements of a given stock largely unpredictable. Still, stock investing could bring about considerable profits, especially after thorough research and analysis.

Forex brokers mostly offer CFD trading on many instruments of different classes, including currencies, commodities, stock indices, and crypto assets. You can base your trading strategies on a variety of timeframes, from extreme short-term (M1, M5) to long-term (D1 and wider).

Let’s stop on Forex brokers as the ones offering the most versatile trading experience.

Trading in a global, decentralised market

Foreign exchange trading is happening twenty-four hours a day, five days a week, on various exchanges around the world. Decentralisation is vital for the Forex market due to the globalised world economy’s need for fast, easy flow of currencies.

International Forex brokers—as opposed to local ones—operate in a multitude of countries. They are allowed to operate globally through multiple international documents. Not being extensively regulated locally and not having to implement restrictions that often limit trading opportunities for traders, international Forex brokers can therefore offer more favourable conditions to their clients.

Many traders, especially beginners, choose to work with local brokers because of the licences they usually possess issued by local financial authorities. However, taking into account the global nature of the Forex market and heavy restrictions such brokers experience, trading with them may lack in the variety of trading instruments, promotional and bonus programs, and simply be less profitable because of the higher commissions.

Choosing a trusted Forex broker

When it comes to choosing a reliable international Forex broker to invest with, there are several handy tips that will help you.

    1. Check when the broker was established. Any broker with at least ten years of work in the financial markets is worth a try.
    2. Find information about the broker on the internet. Conduct your own research.
    3. Check the reviews (you can find them on trustpilot.com).
    4. Find out whether the broker has received any industry awards for its services in Asia, and Malaysia in particular.
    5. Check if the broker publishes its own educational content. A reliable broker is always interested in its clients being better prepared for trading in the financial markets.
    6. Find out whether the broker provides multilingual support.
    7. Find information on whether the broker is otherwise present in Malaysia. For instance, OctaFX regularly invests in charitable initiatives across the country to give back to the society it works in and be closer to its clients.
    8. The last—and the most important. Compare trading conditions of the brokers that showed themselves well in all other respects and choose the one with the lowest spreads, no additional commissions, and no swaps.

Using the tips above, you can find a trusted broker that would suit you and help you achieve your financial goals. Besides, you will protect yourself against fraudsters posing as Forex brokers as they will never be able to fake a reputation garnered over many years of work in the financial markets.

Pickupp And NUS Collaborate To Develop Solutions Aimed At Revolutionising The Logistics Industry

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 21 July 2022 – The Institute of Operations Research & Analytics (IORA) at the National University of Singapore and Pickupp, an on-demand delivery platform, have recently signed a Research Collaboration Agreement for a two year project. The project aims to set a new benchmark in logistic and fulfilment efficiency.

The collaboration aims to optimise and improve logistical efficiencies in two main research areas - logistics network design and price optimization.
The collaboration aims to optimise and improve logistical efficiencies in two main research areas – logistics network design and price optimization.

The research partnership comes at a time where e-commerce is inherently ingrained in our day-to-day lives, with businesses and consumers now relying on the logistics industry more than ever. In this climate, the company with the most efficient logistics network and ability to serve businesses with agility and adaptability will gain a competitive edge.

Optimising Delivery Efficiency and Improving Sustainability In The E-Commerce Landscape

Leveraging data from Pickupp’s proprietary database to interpret patterns and trends, the collaboration strives to address logistical inefficiencies commonly faced in the industry through two main research areas. The first research area is about improving logistics network design.

The research will be used to develop a highly flexible service matrix for an industry where most companies are asset-heavy and do not fully utilize network systems. The intention is to enable a strategic placement of logistics spaces that will shorten the distance for last-mile delivery across the city while efficiently grouping and routing deliveries in a way that is both time-saving and cost-efficient.

The second key research area is price optimization. This research aims to develop an integrated incentive system that will enhance existing solutions for (i) matching drivers to jobs, (ii) managing incentives for the drivers and (iii) price optimization for merchants. This data-analytics driven approach reinforces Pickupp’s commitment to sustainability through the streamlining of delivery routes, while increasing revenues for delivery agents and improving cost management for businesses.

The collaboration is led by Assistant Professor Feng Yifan (Department of Analytics and Operations of NUS Business School and affiliated faculty member of IORA) and Crystal Pang, Chief Executive Officer of Pickupp, with co-leads Professor Teo Chung Piaw and Professor Jussi Keppo of IORA, Lawrence Ho, Chief Product Officer from Pickupp and Lee Chee Meng, Co-Chief Operating Officer and General Manager of Pickupp’s Singapore Office.

Lee Chee Meng, Co-Chief Operating Officer, said, “At Pickupp, we believe that the future of logistics is asset-light and leveraging data is highly crucial in meeting the increasing demands of e-commerce, especially with perishables and groceries. The collaboration with NUS is a step forward in our belief that the future of logistics is data driven, and we trust the results from the research will unlock Pickupp’s network economic power to ensure that every delivery is fulfilled for a price that achieves equilibrium between cost to the business and incentive to the delivery agent.”

Professor Teo, IORA Executive Director, said, “This industry-academia partnership between IORA and Pickupp is significant as it builds on NUS’ growing research expertise in operations research and data science. The project will see our researchers work with industry to create products that have high value for commercialisation and industry adoption.”

Pickupp’s expanding network of islandwide pick-up and drop-off service points has enhanced its capacity to continuously diversify its product portfolio and offerings across all industries and verticals. On top of meeting different logistical needs, from on-demand delivery to micro-fulfilment and warehousing as well as cross-border services, these service points are also aligned with Pickupp’s goal of improving the efficiency of deliveries during peak traffic hours and decarbonising its operations by increasing its walker and rider delivery agent pool. Going forward, these service points will also serve as pick-up points and a point of sale for Pickupp’s e-commerce platform – Shop On Pickupp.

CUHK Business School Research Reveals the Genetic Makeup of a Leader

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 21 July 2022 – Is there such a thing as a natural-born leader? A new study sheds light on the genetic influences on leadership and found a surprising connection with bipolar disorder and alcohol consumption.

PressReleaseTMPG88ivi.jpg

Individuals in leadership positions are more likely to have certain genes — and not all of them are good. An increased tendency to drink alcohol — which has been shown to cause cancer — and an increased risk of bipolar disorder are among the negative health indicators associated with leaders, according to findings from a new study.

Identifying these specific genes helps us understand how our biology influences occupational health and well-being, and specifically, how that plays out among people in leadership positions.

“Our findings provide insights into the heredity of leadership positions and also the shared genetic underpinnings between the leadership position itself and one’s general health,” says Li Wendong, Associate Professor at Department of Management at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School, and a co-author of the study.

“Our research continues the biological story of leadership. Since the late 1980s, studies using twins have shown that differences in people’s genetic make-up account for 30 percent of differences in whether they hold leadership roles. Now we have gone a step further in and conducted genomic studies using a vast database to identify genes related to leadership,” adds Prof Li, who notes that the study has implications for leaders and prospective leaders in managing their health and well-being for their long-term career development.

“A significant reason why our findings matter is that leaders’ well-being affects their behaviours, which may influence the performance and well-being of their subordinates, teams, and organisations. The implications arising from a leader’s health can be vast,” he says.

Diving Deeper Beyond Twin Studies

The research team, which were led by of Prof. Li, Prof. Song Zhaoli at the National University of Singapore and Prof. Fan Qiao at Duke-NUS Medical School, conducted the study using data from the U.K. Biobank, the largest public genetic and health database in the world. Researchers extracted genetic and occupational information of over 240,000 individuals of European ancestry. They also tapped on the U.K. Standard Occupation Classification and U.S. Occupational Information Network for information related to leadership roles and managing demands.

Leadership has been an important and classic topic in genetic research since the early 19th century, when modern human genetics was first formed as a scientific field.

Modern genetics research on leadership appeared much later using the classic twin approach. Twin studies are studies conducted on identical or fraternal twins. They aim to reveal the relative importance of environmental and genetic influences. Twin research is considered a key tool in behavioural genetics and in content fields, from biology to psychology.

The new study, titled Genetics, leadership position, and well-being: An Investigation with a large-scale GWAS, furthered previous areas of inquiry by providing results from a whole-genome exploration of leadership. It unraveled genetic correlations between leadership and known measures of well-being and health. The study also considered other socioeconomic measures such as income and education so that what was revealed was a truer picture of leaders’ genetic profiles.

Watch Out at the Top

The study brought to light possible unique genetic associations between well-being and leadership. It found that genetic influences associated with leadership position may be detrimental to well-being. This is in contrast to previous research that showed a positive correlation between leadership and general health and well-being indicators and revealed a fundamental reason why holding a leadership position is not always beneficial to one’s health and well-being.

After adjusting for the effects of income and education, holding leadership positions was genetically linked to a higher Body Mass Index, an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, and further reduced longevity.

“The high psychological demands embedded in holding leadership positions — chronic stressors — might play a role because they stimulate psycho-biological stress responses, including changes in fat metabolism and cardiovascular function, which are detrimental to health in the long run.” says Prof. Li.

In other words, leaders may be genetically pre-disposed to develop the above stress-induced diseases and conditions, but the stress involved in being a leader can trigger or exacerbate such an impact.

One of the most relevant and surprising genetic markers this study found to be associated with leadership is the genetic variant linked to an increased risk of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

“While those with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia may have some advantages to become leaders, we are the first to find genetic variants linked to both leadership and bipolar disorder and schizophrenia,” says Prof. Li.

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that can cause mood swings of various severity, ranging from emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). While most people diagnosed with bipolar disorder will experience some emotional symptoms between episodes, some may not experience any.

Prior research on bipolar disorder concludes that it is a mixed blessing in leaders. On the one hand, leadership studies found bipolar disorder to be linked to positive traits of high intelligence, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Other research shows it can negatively affect one’s job performance.

Also observed in the study is a genetic connection between leadership and an increase in alcohol consumption — an unhealthy behaviour that has been shown to cause cancer.

Personal Traits Count

Aside from strictly genetic considerations, the research team tested genetic correlations between leadership position and a set of observable personal traits that are traditionally related to leadership: intelligence, risk tolerance, and height. The results suggested that the genes that are believed to drive leadership may also be related to these traits. In finding links between the traits and underlying genes in leaders, researchers think it is possible that these genes may carry genetic influences on leadership through many of these personal traits.

While genetic research into the role of leadership is in its infancy, the new study is an important step forward and is likely to shed light on the direction and scope of future studies in the field. “While certain genes can play a role in whether an individual turns out to be a leader or not, they may not end up expressing themselves. At the very least, they are not a determining factor in shaping the well-being of a leader. Behaviour and lifestyle can influence the expression of genes and improve the chances of good health in leaders. And good health is always an important asset to any organisation, no matter where leadership resides,” Prof. Li adds.
