As the competition in the FX industry is constantly heating up, sales and marketing experts are coming up with new ways to attract new traders.

New AI-based marketing campaigns, advanced sales strategies, high budget sports sponsorships are ideas which more often pop up during long and stressful business meetings.

However, despite sales and marketing activates there is a third very important part of the equation – Trading Platform .

It is often forgotten that clients spend most of their time in front of trading terminals and not as one would expect in front of video webinars or well-crafted knowledge bases.

Trading platform - is a crucial brand touchpoint and it must provide the best possible experience for the traders. The skillfully structured platform can help business owners to convert, retain and increase LTV of traders.

On the other hand, introducing your platform to the market is an enormous business challenge. It involves hiring developers, IT managers, graphic designers, UX specialists, not to mention fixed costs associated with IT infrastructure.

Developing own platform opens many doors - you can add new tools, introduce modifications or decide on the direction of application development. However, there are only few business owners which are able to cover all these costs.

That’s why the most common business practice is a white label agreement. The biggest disadvantage of such solution is that you have very little control over the platform development and lack of full administration.

Major disadvantages of a white label solution such as lack of control and dependence can be overcome to some extent.

If you choose a partner with feed-back driven development with strong track record in the market your future and bottom line will be covered. Let’s review one of the most popular white label trading solutions introduced by X Open Hub.

Meet XOH Trader - Installation and login

XOH trader is based on a web browser, without the need to install additional software, which is extremely convenient for the user and increases his mobility enabling trade from any computer.

This eliminates any issues related to the application installation process caused by e.g. the Windows editor Regedit or other software programs which can limit platform performance e.g. an antivirus program.

Consequently, it does not require any additional installation packages and administration permissions which is a common problem noticed by users who would like to follow the Forex market at their work.

Thus, the cloud-based platform allows logging into a broker account wherever a user has access to the Internet. After all, nowadays each personal computer has a web browser, not a Metatrader terminal.

The platform interface and layout

X Open Hub

To make the platform easy on the eyes, the light and dark dashboard version is available for users.

Both color themes come packed with all plugins and tools available on the platform and used by a user at work daily.

Although the darker theme can contribute to certain performance improvements, many users choose the light color which can be set in the preferences window and saved for future usage.

So, as a result, logging into the platform from another computer, a user’s preferences are uploaded automatically and applied to the workspace.

What is more, each saved theme can be applied to all open charts using just one button, which is one of the greatest advantages which is unavailable in the other platforms.

The size of the platform information windows can be modified easily with some logical limitations. The current working workspace can be saved (user sessions) and similar to the dashboard background color preferences, can be uploaded automatically while logging in.

To maintain a high level of security, all information is being kept at the XOH servers. The XOH Trading platform also contains a lot of tools for managing charts such as an axis orientation change or a customized toolbar where a user can define which functions should be placed in the toolbar.

"Relying on user experience design, we created an interface with a combination of responsiveness and exportability functions which answers our customers’ expectations and allows them to work interactively with the system," noted Sylwester Jezierski, Marketing Manager at X Open Hub.
