Spotware, the developer of multi-asset trading platform cTrader, is proud to announce that its Commercial Director, Michael Quirk, will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming TrustFinance Business 2025 event in Thailand. Taking place on 9th May in Bangkok, this premier B2B matchmaking event is a cornerstone gathering for the Forex industry across South East Asia.
Keynote: “The rise of transparent trading – meeting the demands of the modern Asian trader”
Michael Quirk will deliver a keynote address titled “The Rise of Transparent Trading – Meeting the Demands of the Modern Asian Trader.” His talk will explore how transparency, ethical trading practices and trader-centric technology are shaping the future of online trading in Asia, especially in light of a new generation of traders who demand more than just low spreads.
A history of distrust in this industry, from conflicts of interest to hidden markups and price manipulation, has led to today’s highly informed and sceptical trader. Across Asia, where over 300 million traders are actively reshaping the online trading landscape, the momentum is undeniable. These traders are no longer willing to tolerate ambiguity or unethical practices; they are demanding scam-free environments, built on trust, transparency and integrity.
Real-time reputation: Brokers are under the microscope
With influences like Facebook groups, Telegram channels, comparative review sites and even LinkedIn profiles now shaping broker reputations in real time, Quirk will highlight the importance of authenticity, openness and adaptability for brokers in the region. “Traders in Asia are more informed, educated, and mobile than ever. They won’t settle for outdated tactics,” said Quirk. “The broker of the future wins by empowering, not manipulating. That’s why we built cTrader around three pillars: Transparency, Technology and Trust. This isn’t a trend — it’s transformation.”
