Abstract:Following the acquisition of Polish FX and CFDs broker Dom Maklerski TMS Brokers SA, OANDA has announced the hiring of Marcin Niewiadomski, CEO of TMS Brokers, as its new Head of Europe. Niewiadomski will be in charge of fostering the company's continued expansion across the EU27 nations.

Following its recent purchase of Polish FX and CFDs broker Dom Maklerski TMS Brokers SA, OANDA has announced the appointment of TMS Brokers‘ CEO Marcin Niewiadomski as its new Head of Europe, responsible for driving the firm’s continued growth throughout the EU27 countries.
He will also continue in his current role as Chief Executive Officer of TMS from his base in Warsaw, and report in to David Hodge at OANDA London.
Marcin Niewiadomski has spent six years at the helm of TMS, managing the firms digital transformation and extending both its product offering and geographical footprint. However, he has also worked with several other financial institutions over the years including Link 4, which was a part of the RSA Group, Provident Polska, Kredyt Bank (KBC Bank), GMAC Bank and BRE Bank Securities.
David Hodge, Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Executive Officer of Europe and the Middle East with OANDA said,
“An industry veteran with 25 years of experience in the financial services sector, Marcin was a clear choice for the Head of Europe. He brings with him an unrivalled expertise in the financial services industry and a deep-seated understanding of the European market, which will be invaluable as we shape the firms strategy in the years to come.”
Marcin Niewiadomski added:
“Having spent several years working hard to extend the TMS footprint into Spain, Germany, Latvia and Lithuania, I am looking forward to building on the foundations of the OANDA brand to accelerate business growth even further into the EU27 region.”
The company said that Mr. Niewiadomski‘s expanded role further demonstrates OANDA’s ongoing commitment to the European market and the strategic importance of its operation in Poland. Last week, the firm announced the completion of its acquisition of TMS, one of the largest online brokers in the country (by our estimation, second in size to XTB). In early 2020, the firm also established a shared services centre in Kraków that currently employs almost 100 people.
OANDA is owned by CVC Capital Partners, a leading private equity and investment advisory firm.

Some broker comparisons end with a confident "go with this one." This is not one of them — and that honesty is exactly what makes it worth reading. Wundersys and tradgrip are two young, offshore-registered brokers that keep popping up in front of beginner traders, often through aggressive online marketing. Both promise the usual buffet: tight spreads, generous leverage, multiple account tiers. And both, according to WikiFX, sit near the very bottom of the safety scale. So instead of crowning a champion, this comparison is really about something more useful: learning to read the warning signs, understanding the small differences that still matter, and knowing why "the better of two risky options" is still a conversation about risk.

If you trade forex from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, or Nepal, you already know the quiet truth that eats into every trader's results: it is not just the market that decides whether you profit — it is the cost of getting in and out of each trade. Shave a couple of dollars off your commission on every lot, multiply it across hundreds of trades a year, and you are looking at the difference between a strategy that works and one that bleeds out slowly. South Asian traders are some of the most cost-conscious in the world, and rightly so. So we pulled the data on the brokers most often recommended for the region, cross-checked every name on WikiFX, and ranked them by the one number that matters most here: what they actually charge you to trade. Before the list, one quick lesson that will make this whole ranking click.

If you have spent even a week inside trading communities lately, you already know the pitch by heart. Pass a quick "challenge," get handed a funded account worth tens of thousands of dollars, and keep up to 80% of everything you make. No risking your own savings, no slow grind of building capital from scratch — just skill, a small fee, and a fast track to the big leagues. It is the exact dream every new trader is secretly chasing, and an entire industry has sprung up to sell it. XPO Fund is one of the louder voices selling that story right now. Its website is slick, its plans sound generous, and its marketing leans hard on words like "industry's lowest fee" and "fast payouts." But before you reach for your card, there is one number sitting quietly on this firm's profile — a number it would rather you scroll past — that every experienced trader would beg you to look at first. And no, it is not the profit split. Let's pull XPO Fund apart piece by piece: what it actually is, who is real

Every broker with a marketing budget now slaps the letters "ECN" on its homepage. Few of them actually deliver what those letters promise. For a serious trader — a scalper, a day trader, an algo trader, anyone whose edge lives or dies on execution quality — the gap between a true ECN broker and a market maker wearing an ECN costume can quietly cost you hundreds of pips a year in slippage, requotes, and inflated spreads. So we cut through the marketing, looked at the brokers that genuinely offer raw pricing and deep liquidity, and cross-checked every one of them on WikiFX. Here are the six ECN accounts that actually earn the label in 2026 — ranked. First, a short primer, because understanding ECN is what lets you judge these brokers properly.
