WikiFX's Upgrade Allows Easier Search of Brokers

“Real or fake, by one click” - the Forex broker search has always been the highlight of WikiFX and the main reason that our users favour our products and services.

Recently, WikiFX is making new efforts to significantly improve its broker's search on PC and App. By understanding users'specific needs in different situations, WikiFX is upgrading the broker search function to bring better user experience by enabling faster and more convenient search of brokers.

Can't remember the name？ Use fuzzy match

If you ever heard a lovely song at a cafe but failed to find it later simply because you didn't know its name, you'll understand why the music Apps that allow you to identify a song by a few lyrics or its tune are so popular. Investors tend to have the same trouble. They might catch bits of information about a broker inadvertently, without remembering its full name, and later have much trouble trying to look up the broker with the scarce information they have. Some investors may even miss a great investment opportunity. So one of the major changes of WikiFX's update is introducing the fuzzy match for the broker search.

Pinyin search ( limited to Chinese)

If you can't remember a broker's name, but happen to have a vague impression of how the name sound, try searching pinyin of the broker's name instead.

For example, to look up the “Chinese name” of FXCM, type in “fuhui” at WikiFX search box, and find FXCM among the search results.

Misspelling search ( limited to Chinese)

WikiFX search also allows investors to find the target broker with the misspelling name, because it can automatically correct the wrong words and show the most possible brokers in the search results.

In addition, WikiFX is combining the original function of “suggested match search” with “ initial match search” to help investors pinpoint a broker faster.

“Suggested match search”

WikiFX's upgraded system automatically completes the keywords that investors insert in the search box, allowing them to find the target of their search more easily. It also shows a list of suggested matching results containing the same keywords.

Suppose we want to look up the broker “GKFX”, type in “GK” and several suggested matching results containing the keyword “GK” show up.

Besides “GKFX”, the search results also show other brokers' names including “FX”, such as “ATFX”.

Initial match search (limited to Chinese)

The initial match search allows investors to fast pinpoint a broker by inserting the Chinese pinyin initials of the broker.

Regulatory number search

Investors can also search for a broker through its regulatory number. By checking the regulatory number, investors can find not only the holder of this license, but also the illegal broker who cloned the license.

For instance, type in the regulatory number “777911”, and the search results include the true licensee FXTM and cloned-licensee Richtmfx.

Website search

More and more fraudulent brokers attempt to swindle investors by inviting them to join “discussion group” on WeChat. A false website link is then sent to the investors for them to register and make deposit, and once they do, they are likely to suffer loss. But now, investors can simply copy the website link to the search box and check the broker to avoid such risks of being defrauded.

For example, if we insert the website “https://www.fuhuiglobal.com/”, we can find the broker FXTM.

With the upgrade of broker search, WikiFX aspires to offer investors even better user experience so they can not only discern reliable and illegal brokers through a click, but also find the broker they' re looking for in a faster, smarter and more precise way.
