Beyond Preventing Hacking: Vital Features Every Trader Must Have

Trading security is often understood as the effort to prevent others from accessing an account. However, that protection is only one side of the coin. There is another aspect that is frequently overlooked: how much control a trader truly possesses over their own account and positions.

Within the Indonesian trading community, offers to surrender account control can appear in various forms. There are parties claiming to be professional “account managers” on Instagram or WhatsApp, promising monthly profits of tens of percent, and subsequently requesting full access to trading accounts.

There is also the modus operandi of paid signal groups that rely on subscription fees from thousands of members rather than the actual transaction results of the signals offered. In other cases, depositing funds proceeds smoothly, but when it comes time to withdraw funds, various excuses for delays emerge one after another.

These situations demonstrate that the risk of losing money does not always originate from a hacked account. Risks can also arise when traders surrender control to third parties.

In their own transactional activities, traders also face risks when they fail to set clear boundaries regarding when a position should be closed.

Therefore, account access protection must go hand-in-hand with ease of use for traders to manage their own positions. These two needs are the focus of the Finex Android application update, released on Wednesday (10/09/2026).

Through two-factor authentication (2FA), Finex has added a layer of verification to help protect accounts from unauthorised access, even if a password has been compromised.

Meanwhile, the stop-loss and take-profit management features, accessible directly from the price chart, make it easier for traders to determine position closing levels without having to switch screens.
