With upcoming edition timed quite nicely to cover the several upcoming events being held in Dubai, we were lucky enough to speak to some of the participants of those who are attending. Over the past year Dubai is becoming more relevant in the FX space with many more European based brands now looking to make an official footprint in the region by obtaining physical offices there. Having firsthand dealt with the officials in the region, they are making it incredibly easy to open and to establish yourself in what used to be one of the best regions to be involved in. Will these lead to inevitable loss of talent for a move to the desert… who knows? One thing I can see is that with such a welcoming environment, other regions will soon have to follow their lead to just stand still.

On the front cover we have Lars Gottwik the founder of Tradants, who took the time to speak with GC about his new project. If you are not aware he is developing the gamification of trading, which will no doubt up a whole new market in the very competitive world of retail FX trading.

With it increasingly harder to get an edge by just offering a Metaquotes solution, I think that’s Lars’s solution could be the edge to get eyes on your brand in the coming years. We look forward to finding out more over the coming editions.

A big thank you to everyone who has taken part in this issue, and if you are in Dubai take a minute to stop by their booths.

All the best!
