London, 8 April 2015 – As their client base continues to grow, MahiFX is proud to announce that they have expanded their team with the addition of Alexander Ridgers in this fundamental new role.
David Cooney, CEO of MahiFX said, “One of the keys to a successful e-FX business is trade analysis and support. The technology is the tool we use, but its operation is absolutely key to maximising revenue for our clients. This requires specialised exercise of judgement about client tiering and tuning of the systems parameters. With our client base growing rapidly we needed to ensure this important function was carried out to the best of our ability to all our clients and we are confident Alex will help achieve this”
Alexander began his career as a Quoting Dealer at IG Index PLC after graduating from Bristol University with a degree in Economics and Finance. After 18 months he then went on to work as a Certificates Trader at ABN AMRO Bank N.V/RBS. Alexander has also worked at CMC Markets as Head of Commodities Trading, as well as at GKFX Ltd as Head of Algorithmic Trading. During this latter role, Alexander’s role included building automated trading models.. His team consisted of himself and four developers creating trading engines from Alexander’s prototyped models.
