Headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, BlackBull Markets is a retail FX brokerage, offering financial services across the FX, CFD, and commodities sectors.
As part of the company’s expansionary efforts, BlackBull has onboarded Anish Satinder Lal to manage the company’s FX and metals operations. Mr. Lal brings with him a sound financial background, highlighted by a one-year stint with ADS Securities, as a Sales Trader.
Prior to his time at Atom8, Mr. Lal partook in two relatively short stints with UK based firms. He took a position as a Junior Accountant at e-Careers Limited, before departing to take on an Options Sales position at OneTwoTrade. The length of each of these tenures lasted 3 months and 10 months, respectively.
Mr. Lal's position at ADS Securities likely contributed to his level of expertise in the field, and presumably was a leading factor in the hiring decision by BlackBull Markets.
In an exclusive statement to Finance Magnates, Mr. Lal commented on his new opportunity: "BlackBull Markets presents an exciting opportunity in a growing part of the financial services world. The New Zealand jurisdiction provides traders an alternative solution to the EU and arguably as stringent governance. I join at a time of expansionary growth (especially in Asia) and my aim is to help support the future business strategies of BlackBull Markets."
BlackBull Markets was established in 2014, with a goal of providing retail FX traders with access to institutional level offerings. According to the company website, BlackBull offers an ECN brokerage setting, permitting traders to open positions as large as 100 lots per trade.
The maximum Leverage Leverage In financial trading, leverage is a loan supplied by a broker, which facilitates a trader in being able to control a relatively large amount of money with a significantly lesser initial investment. Leverage therefore allows traders to make a much greater return on investment compared to trading without any leverage. Traders seek to make a profit from movements in financial markets, such as stocks and currencies.Trading without any leverage would greatly diminish the potential rewards, so traders need to rely on leverage to make financial trading viable. Generally, the higher the fluctuation of an instrument, the larger the potential leverage offered by brokers. The market which offers the most leverage is undoubtedly the foreign exchange market, since currency fluctuations are relatively tiny. Of course, traders can select their account leverage, which usually varies from 1:50 to 1:200 on most forex brokers, although many brokers now offer up to 1:500 leverage, meaning for every 1 unit of currency deposited by the trader, they can control up to 500 units of that same currency. For example, if a trader was to deposit $1000 into a forex broker offering 500:1 leverage, it would mean the trader could control up to five hundred times their initial outlay, i.e. half a million dollars. Likewise, if an investor using a 1:200 leveraged account, was trading with $2000, it means they would be actually controlling $400,000, i.e. borrowing an additional $398,000 from the broker. Assuming this investment rises to $402,000 and the trader closes their trade, it means they would have achieved a 100% ROI by pocketing $2000. With leverage, the potential for profit is clear to see. Likewise, it also gives rise to the possibility of losing a much greater amount of their capital, because, had the value of the asset turned against the trader, they could have lost their entire investment.FX Regulators Clamp Down on Leverage Offered by BrokersBack in multiple regulators including the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) took material measures to protect retail clients trading rolling spot forex and contracts for difference (CFDs).
