Tiqbee CONSTANTINOS AROSTOPHANOUS Founder of Tiqbee
The first brand that we worked in partnership with was Atlantic Securities, which is what you could call a very traditional financial company, compared to what you see compared to a modern FX brokerage. We actively managed portfolios for Atlantic clients for just under 3 years, so it was a decent amount of time to work with such a well established brand, and also we further developed our skills and techniques in this time. Q If I was to use a signals provider, what should I look for to make sure they are reputable? Post Atlantic, we sat back and looked at the landscape of the signals industry, and what we saw was a multitude of providers, however they did not seem to have a high level of professionalism. It was very hard to find one with an audited performance or a credible track record, so we made sure that everything was as transparent as possible, outlining the audit and performance on a live verifiable account.
Q In a personal capacity, I get contacted by many signal providers and if I am being blunt they are not the greatest or are perhaps working in conjunction with the brokerage.What separates Tiqbee from all the others? To give you a brief background on Tiqbee, we first started off using the services of several brokerages working on behalf of our clients as Portfolio Managers. Regarding our professional background, we studied and received our certified financial planner diploma, which sparked our interest in pursuing further, and gaining more advanced qualifications in technical analysis. Because of this I believe we developed a track record and credibility, where we could contact brokerages and offer a service that was completely transparent, also we could offer something of use and value to their clients. It is important to stress that all our performances are audited, which we believe is the key in establishing credibility, but we also believe that this should also be industry standard. When we discussed projects with our future brokerage clients, they could see we were incredibly serious regarding what we had to offer and how we would achieve this.
Many providers we found offered evidence of their performance on either a demo account, alternatively they would be selective with the dates showing the performance. In this industry I cannot stress it enough, if you want someone to take you seriously, whether this is an institution or a client, transparency is the key thing to having them work with you. Everyone who works for Tiqbee, are analysts who have passed professional qualifications to achieve certification from industry respected bodies. Moreover, we have all had roles as portfolio managers in large regulated entities, so we have done this for a living for quite some time.As a result of this, our signals are perfect for both retail and institutional clients alike. Q Do you have any quality control with which brands you would work with? On our website we do not refer or promote any brokerage, or white label solution. We only like to work with STP brokers, as we have a very respectable success rate, so it would not be a great for a market maker to use our service. I think more importantly, it is necessary that the brokerage, client and Tiqbee’s interests are aligned in doing the best to make the client money.
