Eurivex launches affiliate marketing scheme for forex introducers


Eurivex, a Cyprus based regulated EU investment firm has launched its innovative affiliate marketing scheme for forex business introducers, which promises rich rewards for the forex business introducers while at the same time taking utmost care to protect customer wealth.
Affiliate forex marketing has been with us for more than two decades and refers to independent business introducers, or the affiliate, placing banner advertisements and links on their web site to direct visitors to the home page or landing page of an established forex firm. Every time the client trades, the affiliate receives a commission from the spread.
Eurivex is launching its affiliate programme for its Forex Managed Account service, whereby a professional forex manager is given the task of managing the client accounts with the objective of achieving a 15% and above return. In an effort to maintain, preserve and protect customer capital investments, the leverage on the traded positions is kept at extremely low levels.
“We deliberately keep the overall leverage and exposure low in order to protect the customer from adverse movement in markets” said Mr. Yervant Bohdjalian, Head of Portfolio Management Department at Eurivex.
Eurivex also applies strict risk management systems, keeping the maximum risk at 10%, while the overall drawdown is also kept to maximum 30%.
“We start with low positioning, low risk and low leverage until sufficient profit cushion is built up, after which the forex manager is allowed to increase the risk/leverage,” said Bohdjalian, adding that the objective of delivering 5% monthly return is on track to be met, as evidenced by the trading activity in the beginning of 2013.
Forex affiliates stand to benefit tremendously from the conservative approach adopted by Eurivex since they get to receive a fixed percentage on introduction of a client to the Eurivex Forex Managed Account service and thereafter benefit from the fixed share of spread markup.
The fixed introduction fee compensates the forex affiliates for their marketing expenses and the share of the spread markup gives them a constant flow of steady income while at the same time preserving, protecting and growing the client capital as opposed to introductions to forex market makers where clients usually blow away their account in the first 3 months due to over-leverage and over-trading.
Being a family owned firm interested in a long term relationship, Eurivex puts the emphasis on client protection through the delivery of constant revenue stream which also is rewarding for the forex affiliate.

Forex managed accounts vs. social trading networks – Beware of Super Performance promises, Part 2


In our previous article we talked about the regulatory differences between forex portfolio management firms and the unregulated social trading networks but in this issue we shall cover how unregulated signal providers promise spectacular high returns, which at most times never materialize when the actual trading begins.
Social trading network is the process when an investor connects his account to the trading signals generated by either a trader or a computer application also known as Expert Advisors (EA), whereby when the signal provider issues a buy/sell signal on his demo/real account, the trading account of the investor mirrors or replicates the trade with an inconstant slippage.

Social trading network is the process when an investor connects his account to the trading signals generated by either a trader or a computer application also known as Expert Advisors (EA), whereby when the signal provider issues a buy/sell signal, the trading account of the investor mirrors or replicates the trade.
The most popular social trading network providers are Zulutrade, Tradeo, Ayondo and Currensee to name a few, with more such networks springing up at a record pace, lured by the spread markup that the social trading network negotiates with the forex brokerage where the trading is made.
Regulated vs. Unregulated
