Recently, I have had many opportunities to meet people who create EAs and investors at investment-related events and fairs. On those occasions, it is very enjoyable to directly hear opinions about our trading system and services and to learn various things from professionals who trade.

In the immediate aftermath of 1998, FX trading was more often conducted in person rather than online, with telephone trading being the main method. At that time, unsolicited solicitation was a problem, and the image of customers and FX brokers meeting face-to-face carried a negative connotation. Unsolicited solicitation refers to inviting customers who did not themselves seek to open an account by visiting homes or making phone calls. If customers have no intention of being solicited, we cannot solicit them. Of course, asking a customer if they have any problems after opening an account is fine, but excessively long phone calls or persistent requests for deposits are not acceptable.
