Henrik Vasstrand, Chief Executive Officer of Silver Peak Markets, leads an online trading platform that puts forex, crypto, commodities and indices into one unified account.
This executive perspective follows the positions the company publishes on where retail trading is heading: wider multi-asset menus, markets that never close, faster execution and automation that stays under the trader’s control.
Each theme starts with what is changing in the industry and then shows how Silver Peak Markets has built its offer around it.
The Silver Peak Markets CEO leads a platform built around one account for several markets
Retail platforms once specialised. A forex broker offered currency pairs, a share dealer offered equities, and a trader with views on both needed two accounts and two rounds of paperwork. Multi-asset menus have replaced that model because traders hold opinions across asset classes and want to act on them from one place.
Silver Peak Markets structures its offer the same way. The unified account covers forex pairs, major cryptocurrencies, commodities such as gold and silver, and global indices, and the market pages show the depth behind each line, from 180+ currency pairs to 50+ indices across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.
The home page sums up the approach as “everything you need, none of the noise”. For a trader who holds one view on a currency pair and another on gold, the practical gain is a single verification, a single interface and one set of risk tools instead of two of each. For a primer on currency trading, see this guide to currency markets and forex basics.
Stocks have a page of their own, with access to global equity exchanges including NYSE, NASDAQ and LSE, and fractional shares from $1.
Crypto is now a standard line on trading menus, and it trades around the clock
Crypto has moved from a niche line to a standard entry on mainstream trading menus. It also keeps a different schedule from the rest. Equities and indices follow exchange sessions and forex runs 24 hours across a five-day week, while digital assets trade every hour of every day.
Silver Peak Markets lists 24/7 market access for crypto, so positions can be opened and closed at weekends and on holidays. The platform quotes 0.9 ms order execution on crypto, which matters in a market where a move does not wait for a session open. At the same time, the risks of crypto-assets include sharp price swings and the possibility of losing the full amount invested.
Custody is the other point traders weigh. Depending on the account type, clients hold real digital assets in cold storage with multi-signature protocols or trade crypto CFDs. Every account carries mandatory two-factor authentication, and supported digital assets can be withdrawn to the client’s own wallet.
Execution speed and visible costs are now the price of entry
Order routing measured in milliseconds, one interface across desktop and mobile, and costs that can be read before a position is opened once separated one platform from another. Retail traders now assume all three.
Silver Peak Markets’ online trading services set their service priorities on exactly those points. The home page describes live pricing across four asset classes with no delay between what a trader sees and what can be traded, orders that route and fill in milliseconds, and an interface that keeps open positions visible when the market moves fast. “No requote surprises” describes speed, not a promised fill price.
On cost, the spread is the main expense of opening a trade, so a trader who opens many positions notices it first. The forex page lists spreads from 0.0 pips on major pairs. The indices page lists spreads from 0.4 and says the full cost is visible before the click.
Automation is moving in, and the open question is who sets the limits
AI in retail trading now covers data analysis, sentiment readings of news, backtesting on historical data and rule-based execution. The unresolved industry question is how much of that a retail trader can configure and steer instead of simply receiving.
The company’s published answer is control inside the client’s own account. Silver Peak Markets describes its AI agents and tools as running on predefined strategies with the client’s risk parameters in control. They size positions according to the limits the client sets, adjust stop-loss and take-profit levels in real time, and let strategies be backtested before going live.
Automated strategies run continuously across crypto and global markets, including when the client is away from the screen, which is the practical gain for a trader who cannot watch a 24/7 market. The AI tools start at the Diamond tier, which has a $100,000 minimum deposit.
The company states the limits of the technology just as plainly: no trading system, human or automated, can guarantee profits, and models can underperform in unusual market conditions. The SEC similarly cautions investors against AI trading claims that promise guaranteed returns in its investor alert on AI and investment fraud.
Where the platform’s stated direction points next?
The company’s positioning is short: a trading platform built on discipline, not hype, for people who take trading seriously. Read as outlook, it frames the next test for any multi-asset broker, which is keeping speed and control working together as menus widen and automation spreads.
Wider menus call for an interface that does not hide open positions, and more automation calls for limits the trader still sets. A range of six tiers, from Bronze at a $250 minimum deposit upward, needs an entry point that stays open to someone starting small.
Silver Peak Markets, with Henrik Vasstrand as Chief Executive Officer, publishes its positioning as the answer to those three questions, and they are likely to be the ones online trading is judged on in its next phase.
