ODL US 1月23日将停止运营

redstart

已经发邮件通知客户，并通知客户其账户将转到FXCM名下。

联系最近目前的情势：ACM关闭美国机构的运营，Alpari也很大可能关闭其美国分支，看来将来美国本土的经纪商就剩那么几家了。大多数想进入这个行业的经纪商将把重点放到英国等注册成本很低的国度，唯一遗憾的是无法继续招揽美国客户。

得，刚刚准备撤掉 IFX 板块 换上 ODL。

这对ODL来讲可是够利空的了……但对美国本土交易商来说，却是天大的利好！呵呵。

刚看了CFTC的月度统计,发现到今年5月最后期限的话,可能就:FXCM,OANDA,GAIN,GFT,FXSOL,CMS,IBFX,PFG好象能达标的.那就是说美国的外汇商从春秋群雄时代转到战国寡头时代了.

恩 是的。

另外HOT和MBT也没问题。这样也好，市场定型后客户也不需要花太多时间考虑这考虑那了，挑一家适合自己风格的经纪商就足以。

ODL Securities, the leading independent FOREX, derivatives, equity, spread betting and commodity trading house has sold the US division of its profit making US Forex business to Forex Capital Markets LLC (FXCM).

The move follows the current and planned implementation of new and more complex regulatory rules that have made it increasingly burdensome for all Forex Dealer Members to operate in the United States. These include increases in the minimum amount of regulatory capital that a Forex Dealer Member must maintain - up by three times over the past year and due to increase further in May to $30mn.

A strategic decision was therefore taken by ODL to use its financial capital more efficiently to fuel its growth in other parts of the world.

As part of its expansion strategy ODL Securities will open new JV offices in Turkey and Australia in the very near future, and expand its operations in Japan and Canada. In the UK head office, the business has been restructured to improve its offering with a focus on multi-lingual customer service and support (ODL now has clients from over 100 countries).

Announcing the sale, Graham Wellesley, Chief Executive of ODL Securities, said: “This has been a hard decision for us to make, ODL Securities Inc. is a very successful and profitable operation, but we could not justify disproportionately supporting one of our smaller subsidiaries.

“We remain firmly committed to expanding our international reach and to that end we have dramatically strengthened the management and resources of our UK Sales and Servicing Teams as well as developing new ventures in Europe, Asia and Australia. We remain profitable and our strategy will continue to focus on growing the business in 2009.”

ODL，世界领先的外汇、衍生品、证券、商品经纪商将其在美国产生盈利的分公司卖给FXCM

这个举动来自于目前以及将来更加复杂的监管规则导致对在美国经营的经纪商造成巨大的负担导致。这些举措包括将经纪商最低持有保证资金在过去的一年内提高了3倍，并在不久的将来即09年5月提高到3000万美金(注：对于提供杠杆超过100:1的经纪商而言，其他均是2000万美金)

ODL采取这项战略性决议是为了更有效的利用资金来支持其在世界其他地方的发展。

其中作为这项战略性决议的一部分是近期在土耳其、澳大利亚开立联合公司，并同时扩展其在日本和加拿大的业务。在其总部英国也将重组并将重心放在提供多语言的客户服务和支持。

宣布售出后，ODL的CEO Graham Wellesley说“对ODL作为一个非常成功而且赚钱的机构来说，这是一次艰难的决定，但是我们认为将过多的资源投入到一个比较小的市场是不恰当的”

“我们将坚定的执行我们的国际化扩展政策，为了达到此目标我们将大力提升我们在英国的销售和服务队伍，并同时在欧洲、亚洲、澳大利亚开展业务。我们依然会在2009年保持盈利和发展状态。”

简单翻译下。

呵呵，感觉任何一家经纪商的公关文都挺能说的

几点收获和看法：

1，经纪商尤其是MM，真是赚钱机器。

2，无论ODL怎么轻描淡写，美国市场仍然是外汇这块最大的市场，呵呵。

3，大家都看准亚洲市场了 尤其是中国 “钱多人傻、速来”

为什么GFT不接受大陆客户的申请？

还比较好奇的是为什么FOREX在中国深根这么多年了又悄悄离开？

看来未来几年洗牌还未可知。

不过还好，客户在这些过程中都不受影响。的确，某个经纪商做不做没关系，但这个行业越来越成熟和正规也吸引越来越的人参与。
