Jake Zhi, VP of institutional Sales at Fortex led a workshop about the network connectivity challenges that brokers are facing in China. Many brokers don’t view platform connectivity as their main priority and therefore put themselves at an instant competitive disadvantage. Connections in China can be blocked and/or are frequently intermittent and unreliable, resulting in frustration and serious concern for active traders. During the workshop, Mr. Zhi introduced some of the ways that FX brokerages are currently navigating around these issues and offered available solutions.
