Volkswagen AG & Scandinavian pairs

You may have heard about the Volkswagen emissions scandal which affected 11 million vehicles and lead to global news coverage. Volkswagen's stock price did not remain unaffected; it plunged in value by a third in the days immediately after the news. This opens the possibility for an interesting investment or other speculative trades.

We do not want our traders to miss this opportunity and added Volkswagen AG (Symbol: VWO) to our list of stocks.

Additionally, we added two new forex pairs for our Scandinavian traders:

• EUR/NOK
• EUR/SEK

Happy trading!

Monetizing your API applications

In the past, it was quite difficult for developers to earn something from applications, which were built on top of 1Broker's API. To generate an incentive to create even more and better applications, we added the possibility to set a trader's referral ID via the API, when an order is opened. The profit share is equal to our traditional referral system: 15% of the spreads are credited instantly to the app-developer.

While this sounds like a minor change, we believe that this system has a huge potential and hope that some talented developers use this opportunity to create amazing software.
