What do you like about this subject?

To create the first uniform code of practice as applicable for global intermediary use. With UCP600 being formally applied in July 2007 - ftn Uniform rules for intermediaries is now complete and available online for free (URPIB)

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

So many traders simply don't know what they are doing- So many goods being offered on the net today are false.Buyer/seller using LOi/BCL/POP and other false and ambiguous procedures will never close a import export deal-

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

BCL/POP/LOI /NCND type of deals are simply a waste of time and effort- You cannot close a deal using such nonsense application. International trade does not work that way.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

There are million of traders in the world today working from home as intermediaries , unfortunately 99 percent will never see a cent in commissions and are working to flawed trading applications. FTN has developed a set of Intermediary trading rules URPIB, the first of its kind.
