Private investors in Russia are increasingly managing their portfolios without constant market monitoring.

      July 22, 2026 16:27 Economy The share of active private investors using complex trading tactics continues to grow: users are increasingly responding to macroeconomic news and are eager to lock in deal prices in advance, regardless of stock exchange trading hours, VTB reported. This creates demand for tools for pending and long-term orders — something that was previously mainly available to professional traders. "We see a steady growth in the share of active private investors who apply complex tactics and respond to macroeconomic news. The functionality of good-till-canceled orders is a critically important tool for professionals and those who value their time: it allows, for example, to lock in a purchase price in advance in case of a weekend gap after important news is released or to build a long-term position accumulation strategy," comments Andrey Yatskov, head of the brokerage services department at VTB. Such updates reflect a broader trend in brokerage applications: simplifying the interface and automating decisions with elements of artificial intelligence. Analysts note that the development of such functions by different brokers indicates the maturity of the private investment market as a whole: tools previously available only to institutional players are becoming the standard for retail applications.
