In record time: Octa broker on how speed inspires trust

Published

4 hours ago

on

15/04/2025

By

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 April 2025 – In online trading, speed is king. Below, the experts at Octa, a regulated and trusted broker since 2011, break down the aspects of trading where speed matters most and offer an accessible way to accelerate trading progress.

The modern world revolves around speed and solutions that solve problems faster than their predecessors. Speed advantage determines success in many industries and areas of life: information delivery, financial transactions, manufacturing, sports, and many more. This is especially true about all things digital, particularly online trading, where delays are considered a serious red flag by the modern consumer.

Why modern trading is all about speed

For modern traders, the broker’s ability to provide efficient order execution, fast withdrawals, and timely customer service are the key requirements for building trust. Without speed, a broker can hardly expect to establish long-term client relationships. Moreover, in the financial sector, speed comes in many forms.

The e-brokerage industry entirely depends on high-speed data feeds and information transfers executed with millisecond precision. Retail traders who operate from their desktops or mobile devices find navigating the markets proportionately easier if they are fast enough where and when it counts.

In online trading, especially in scalping or intraday trading with lesser timeframes, a breakout, reversal, or reaction to a news release can happen in seconds. Delayed order execution, a stuttering trading platform, or suspended reaction due to incomplete information can easily turn a low-risk, high-probability trade into a risky venture with an uncertain outcome.

Where in trading speed makes the most difference

Traders emphasise the importance of strategy, but it is the execution that often separates a positive outcome from a negative one. Choosing the right price movement direction is ineffective unless the action is taken on time. Fast execution results in less slippage, better prices, tighter spreads, and greater control over trading risks.

Another speed-related factor that determines a positive trading experience and is, therefore, highly valued by traders is withdrawal speed. Octa broker’s recent survey shows that the ability to withdraw their funds without hiccups is one of the main reasons traders choose one broker over another.

Octa broker uses its global reach to establish close cooperation with various payment providers and systems. This way, Octa offers some of the fastest withdrawals on the market while avoiding any hidden charges. All the broker’s fees are reflected in its terms and conditions and can be reviewed in advance.

CFDs: a perfect instrument for modern-day trading

Contracts for difference, or CFDs, are well-known for speed and flexibility. Instead of buying an asset or a futures contract with delivery obligations, CFDs involve trading price movement, and that makes the entire transaction faster and more direct.

CFDs enable traders to profit from upward and downward market movements without restrictions. There is no need to wait for a market surge or borrow from an exchange when going short, as is often the case with crypto trading. This flexibility is especially advantageous in fast-moving markets, where direction can reverse in seconds.

Another advantage of CFDs is tight spreads and direct market access, which ensures that the displayed prices are among the most competitive in the market. Trades are executed without interference, eliminating delays and improving the chances of getting filled at or near the intended price.

Last but not least, CFDs provide multiple leverage options, which, if used wisely, can significantly increase a trader’s potential, albeit at the cost of increased exposure. Leverage allows traders to capitalise on short bursts of volatility instead of waiting for a major directional move to turn a profit.

Modern trading is driven by speed, efficiency, and transparency. Brokers build trust by allowing traders to operate efficiently in a high-frequency environment and act on volatility without delay. By ensuring fast withdrawals and a transparent, clearly communicated fee structure, brokers facilitate a seamless trading journey for their clients, contributing to their success in a vibrant environment where speed reigns supreme.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Neswire – 14 April 2025 – Together with world-renowned scientists including Prof. Joel F. Habener, Prof. Jens Juul Holst and Assoc. Prof. Svetlana Mojsov, Prof. Daniel Drucker at the University of Toronto and the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, has discovered the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), leading to life-changing therapies for people with diabetes and obesity while stimulating emerging applications for neurodegenerative diseases. This groundbreaking innovation has garnered significant recognition for him and the GLP-1 research group, exemplified by the prestigious 2023 VinFuture Special Prize for Innovators with Outstanding Achievements in Emerging Fields, and the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, awarded earlier this April.

Prof. Daniel Drucker, 2023 VinFuture Special Prize Laureate for Innovators with Outstanding Achievements in Emerging Fields, continues to receive recognition with the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences

In this interview, he reflects on the impact and influences of the VinFuture Prize on his further research, as well as the challenges and prospects of expanding GLP-1 accessibility. As global scientific recognition continues to evolve, he shares insights into the vital role of initiatives like the VinFuture Prize in inspiring the next generation of scientists.

VinFuture: Recognizing transformative science

The 2023 VinFuture Prize holds the distinction of being the first major international science and technology award to recognize and honor the scientists behind the discovery of the role of GLP-1. Following the VinFuture Prize, the GLP-1 research group has continuously received recognitions with numerous other prestigious accolades, including their listing among the 2024 Time 100 Most Influential People.

Reflecting on this, Prof. Drucker expressed deep appreciation, noting that these awards provide invaluable support in pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery.

“As the VinFuture Prize gains prominence, having GLP-1 science acknowledged as a recipient also helps elevate the global understanding of how it can transform healthcare,” he emphasized.

Continuing its commitment to recognizing impactful advancements, the 2024 VinFuture Prize honored innovators in the biomedical field for their development of CAR T-cell therapy for cancer and other diseases. According to Prof. Drucker, this innovation stands as “a remarkable example of how immunological science can revolutionize the treatment of many cancer types.”

“With the honoring of AI and CAR T cell therapy, the trends I observe are consistent with other international awards, where similar innovative themes are celebrated around the same time or within a few years. This alignment reinforces the importance of these breakthroughs.” Prof. Drucker commented.

Among the youngest international science-technology awards, now in its fifth year, the VinFuture Prize is steadily establishing its significance and reputation, evidenced by the increasing number of laureates continuing to receive recognition from prestigious international awards, most notably the Nobel Prize. Prominent examples include Dr. Katalin Karikó and Prof. Drew Weissman (Laureates of the 2021 VinFuture Grand Prize and 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine), Dr. Demis Hassabis and Dr. John Jumper (Laureates of the 2022 VinFuture Special Prize and 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry), and Prof. Geoffrey Hinton (Laureate of the 2024 VinFuture Grand Prize and 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics).

“Despite being a relatively new award, the VinFuture Prize has done an exceptional job of highlighting high-quality science. The recognition of AI, coinciding with its recent recognition by the Nobel Prize, highlights its transformative impact on numerous aspects of society,” Prof. Drucker said. “So I think the VinFuture Prize council really has its finger on the leading edge of science in many areas.”

Beyond diabetes

2024 was a landmark year for GLP-1 research, with several exciting clinical trials demonstrating benefits extending far beyond obesity to include the treatment of patients with heart disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, Prof. Drucker hinted at early promising results for patients with metabolic liver disease and noted ongoing studies exploring GLP-1’s effects on Alzheimer’s disease, with results expected soon.

“The continuous wave of new findings will provide deeper insights into the full potential of GLP-1-based therapies.” Prof. Drucker commented, stating that each study will contribute to refining our understanding of this science.

Furthermore, Prof. Drucker highlighted GLP-1’s neurological effects and its potential clinical application in addressing mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. He noted that preliminary, early-stage trials with small patient groups investigating GLP-1’s potential in reducing cravings and treating addiction-related disorders have yielded promising initial results.

“Several academic research centers are actively studying GLP-1’s effects on substance use disorders, and major pharmaceutical companies such as Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have begun clinical trials to explore these applications further.” Prof. Drucker shared, “It will likely take 12 to 18 months before we gain a clearer picture of whether these medicines can be clinically effective in helping individuals reduce or quit substance use.”

Prof. Drucker also highlighted compelling research indicating GLP-1’s interaction with the brain, extends beyond appetite regulation, suggesting a range of potential therapeutic applications.

“Ongoing trials are underway in people with substance use disorders, including alcohol, nicotine, cannabinoids, and opioids, conditions for which existing medicines are not always very effective.” He elaborated, “We have trials underway for Alzheimer’s disease with oral semaglutide, which are expected to conclude by the end of 2025. These investigations will significantly enhance our understanding of GLP-1’s neurological impact and potential clinical applications.”

Overcome barriers to maximize impact

Despite the global excitement for the “Ozempic era”, there are many challenges hindering the widespread impact for GLP-1 medicines. These include the current high cost and limited accessibility of the treatments, the reliance on primarily two main drug options (semaglutide and tirzepatide), and the practical limitations of refrigeration and pen-based delivery for most formulations, as Prof. Drucker pointed out.

“A key priority is the democratization of these treatments so that everyone who could benefit from them has access. To achieve this, we are working on small-molecule pills that are easier to manufacture and should be more affordable.” He explained.

Prof. Drucker anticipated that increased competition in the GLP-1 market will lead to lower prices, development of newer versions that are easier to use, including once-monthly injections, thereby improving accessibility and convenience for millions worldwide.

“Most initial launches have occurred in countries with well-established healthcare and reimbursement systems. Only now are we seeing manufacturing capacity expand enough to increase availability, but costs remain a significant barrier.” He stated, emphasizing the critical need to advance these medicines not only to enhance their efficacy in areas like weight loss and cardiovascular health but also to make them more convenient to take, more affordable, and more broadly accessible to patients globally.

Another major challenge that Prof. Drucker identified is determining the appropriate dosage for extending the therapeutic applications of GLP-1 to conditions beyond diabetes and obesity. While the dosage effective for weight loss may not be suitable for other disorders like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, alcohol use disorder, anxiety, or depression, understanding the dose-response relationship for these conditions requires time and further investigation.

Additionally, research is underway to reduce adverse effects, making GLP-1 treatments safer and more comfortable for patients. Prof. Drucker elaborated, “One key strategy is starting patients on very low doses and gradually increasing them to minimize side effects. Additionally, some companies are researching ways to reduce further adverse effects, such as developing co-formulated anti-nausea compounds to improve tolerability.”

Future research for GLP-1 therapies presents numerous possibilities; however, the translation from research to clinical application for neurodegenerative and substance use disorder treatments still presents unmet needs with a lack of evidence for progress. According to Prof. Drucker, with clinical trials underway, they may yield valuable insights within the next 12 to 24 months regarding the potential extension of GLP-1 therapy benefits from glucose control to complex disorders of the central nervous system.

He identified, “The key lies in understanding how to effectively engage the brain, identifying which regions can respond to GLP-1 signaling, and how to optimize that communication.”

In conclusion, Prof. Drucker highlighted the promising contemporary landscape of scientific research, emphasizing the crucial need to inspire the next generation to embrace science and pursue research careers. In this context, the 2023 VinFuture Special Prize Laureate commended the VinFuture Prize for its valuable contribution in motivating individuals within the scientific community and engaging younger generations in science.

“When we visited Vietnam, we met with many young scientists, and I was impressed by VinFuture’s strong efforts to inspire and connect with them. I encourage VinFuture to continue and expand these efforts because investing in young talent is the key to a future filled with groundbreaking innovations.” He stated.
