After a huge success of the 6th China Forex Expo 2017 with a massive turnout of over 6,000 potential partners and high-end clients and over 50,000 hits and 600 reviews of the live streaming of the conference, China Forex Expo 2018 is back again for all industry players to probe deeply into the Chinese forex market. The 7th China Forex Expo will be taking place on the 18th and 19th of May 2018 at Great China International Exchange Square of Shenzhen. It is a two-day event for traders, investors, affiliates, IBs, fintech companies and brokers from across China and the world.

As the new MiFID II and ESMA regulatory framework tightens up the European forex market, brokers and investors are driving offshore to a new markets like China. China investors and traders become much more active today, presenting a huge opportunity for offshore/local brokers, affiliates, money managers, technology providers, liquidity providers and other specialized services providers. Moreover, china¡¯s unique cultural background makes it hard for overseas brokerage firms to maintain healthy relationship with clients and sometimes they even have no clue about how to enter the market, given several incidents that European-based brokers were physically threatened by angry investors. Thus, offline events and interaction become a must-attend for those planning to expand their clientele in China. In addition, concepts like blockchain, cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin gradually open people¡¯s mind here and many more are talking about it. What does Chinese think of cryptocurrencies? Is blockchain technology that good as it claims? What¡¯s the prospect of blockchain in China?

The 7th China Forex Expo is an excellent place for you to network, to share your insights, and to unlock the secrets of doing business in China. We have exhibition space for brokers and providers to promote their products and services and socialize, free lectures and panel discussions for audience to learn and interact with speakers, coffee zone and play zone for everyone to snatch a little leisure from a busy day.

Don¡¯t hesitate, come to China Forex Expo 2018 to make friends! If you want to?book a booth, take a sponsor package, or join our panel discussion, please contact us at [email protected].

Successful Completion of the 2017 Roadmap

After 10 months of existence, CryptoPing is now frequently used by more than 80,000 traders worldwide who receive signals on crypto assets via a Telegram bot.

The bot has processed over 320,000,000 trading events and generated more than 21,000 signals about crypto assets that were getting unusual amount of market action.

Right after its token sale, CryptoPing has successfully launched its token-based subscription service as promised, and has included 5 exchanges into its signal generation process. The next in the list of exchanges to be added are Bitfinex, Binance, Tidex.

Several features have been rolled out in parallel to improve user experience. On top of Telegram, signals are now also available on Slack and Discord servers, and users can now export their history of signals and filter them by percentage of price or volume increase.

The team behind the bot has been working hard to implement the first roadmap steps, and has successfully managed to do so, at the exception of social network monitoring. This feature is undergoing final rounds of internal testing and will be released in the beginning of 2018.

In the upcoming months, CryptoPing will shift towards improving its signal generating algorithm and creating new features for subscribed users.

The First Social Trading Platform to be Launched in 2018

Social trading is the process through which traders rely on user-generated financial content to make investment decisions.

CryptoPing will launch a social platform on which users can become public traders and either rebroadcast bot signals to their followers with their comments, or send their own signals for any assets on the supported exchanges.

Public traders will be able to set custom subscription fees for their signals. Based on their performance, these traders will be automatically ranked so that users can find the profiles that best match their trading style.

Towards a Deep Learning Powered Bot

Deep learning is a huge opportunity for trading, and has become the most successful strategy in the prediction of market movements. The new wave of deep neural networks has drastically changed our ability to model social science scenarios like finance.

In 2018, the algorithms powering the CryptoPing bot will substantially move from predefined heuristics to a neural network, designed and trained to analyze market data and social signals together.

This will transform the platform’s trading bot into a smarter and more adaptable one, and push its performance to higher levels. Since the number of available cryptocurrencies and market developments are expected to keep rising, the move to deep learning is an inevitable one to keep making profitable trades.

You can sign up and give CryptoPing a try right now. From December 20, 2017 to March 20, 2018, if you have 100 PING on your account, you can activate subscription for a period of 30 days for free.
