OREANDA-NEWS. November 18, 2010. UFC Capital released daily market view:

New version of PFTS regulations comes into effect. The PFTS has released a statement, via its website, that there is no longer necessary to be member of the PFTS Association or to pay associated fees in order to obtain access to PFTS trading system. So as of November 16, 2010, access to the PFTS system is significantly easier.  In addition, the new rules changed the market rate calculation process. This decision was made to accommodate Security and Stock Market State Commission requirements. Note that on September 9, 2010, the PFTS adopted a decision to create a committee for the development of the stock market, as well as a program that would carry out essential reforms before the end of the year.
