…awarded Best Mobile Platform by the Forex Industry.

Founder of TradeInterceptor, Rodolfo Festa Bianchet.

1. Tell us about yourself:I began my career in 1989 working as a currency trader in the US, before starting my own analysis company in 1991.

In 1999, I could see the future lay in the internet, and moved to Bulgaria to begin work on an online trading platform. All the research and experience gained on this project and others culminated in 2009, when we launched the world’s first mobile trading app, which I’m happy to say was a great success.

2. What is TradeInterceptor?

Based in Bulgaria, we’re one of the world’s fastest-growing mobile technology firms. We’ve been lucky enough to have our app downloaded almost half a million times and we’ve been in the top three in all the major app stores. We also were the first trading app to use tech and chart indicators.

In May of last year, ThinkMarkets acquired our app, and since then we’ve been working on functionality for both desktop and mobile, making them both as user-friendly as possible.

3. What makes TradeConnect unique?

TradeConnect is the latest stage in our journey. The coming of the blockchain is going to change a huge range of industries around the world, and ours stands to benefit the most. TradeConnect — and ThinkCoin, the cryptocurrency that underpins it — represents a major strategic move from our family of companies to be at the forefront of these revolutionary changes.

What makes TradeConnect unique is that you can trade multiple financial assets. Most exchanges on the blockchain are focused on cryptos alone, but we’re the next generation of development along from that stage.

We offer a range of assets including FX, CFDs, shares and commodities in addition to cryptocurrencies. We can also leverage a decade of experience an institutional efficiencies from ThinkMarkets, our UK and Australia-based parent company. I’m also proud to say both the transaction speed and the relationship between mobile and back end in our app are state of the art.

4. Why will TradeConnect be successful?

We are confident that this is a good time for people to enter the market and trade with us — as the saying goes, buy low, sell high. Also cryptos are here to stay. The genie is out of the bottle, and they’re already changing the world. This project is our way of ushering that change along.

The TradeConnect app is now available now in App Store and Google Play.
