The impact of technology on finance has never been as big before. So far, we have just used technology to rebuild the existing business, but nowadays, technology is the base, defining how business models, as well as the companies themselves, are working. The combination of the new emerging technologies such as blockchain and machine learning, open more new possibilities than we could ever think of today.

The architecture allows very efficient and secure trading setups, in Its base, MT does not do any magic, it just does the basic things right and allows the use of advanced technologies in a more standardized way.

8. What features of your modular platform differentiates it in the market?
It combines all features that we have been missing in the market. It begins with the customization of the dashboard, which allows to keep track of market news, own trades and social media accounts and trending topics. The user can customize it all like a toolbox. We also combine the social aspects with our marketplace and social network, where we want to encourage our users to interact and collaborate in this niche. In our opinion this is the complete solution, besides the ultra-fast and efficient trading functionalities, that a complete algo trading platform should offer.
9. What advice would you like to give to new fintech solutions entering the market?
Don’t be satisfied with the current state of your solution but try to be innovating right from the beginning. Be aware of the latest trends and ask yourself how you can do it even better.
Sometimes it is already enough to provide a functionality with an alternative and more innovative – maybe riskier – method of solution to achieve a market advantage.
10. What is the Digital innovation in crypto trading according to you that will mark 2021?
Right now, Decentral Finance (Defi) project are making a lot of noise. So far, this has definitely been the most exciting thing in Crypto this year.
