What is forex? Yes, the answer is long, but here’s a chance to get quick explanations and many interesting figures in one graphic image. CMS Forex has made a nice infographic explaining it. While it doesn’t and can’t provide the full picture, it looks great.

CMS Forex, that was acquired by Gain a few months ago, is still active. This consists of an expansion of its thriving VT Trader platform, which has become more and more popular.

Well, VT Trader is now back on the scene for Gain clients that have been introduced by CMS Forex. CMS Forex now serves an introducing broker for Gain Capital (forex.com).

It seems that Gain Capital responded to popular demand. This follows the IPO of Gain. I guess they had time for it now.

But do we always want to use this technology?

Internet on mobile phones is available for quite a while, but it was rather limited. Some forex traders connected to the internet in order to get a quote, but not more than that. In 2007, the technology significantly advanced:

Here are my favorites. All have a relatively long-term scope:

  • Adam Kritzer analyzes the EU debt crisis in an interesting way. As expected, EUR/USD went up only to plunge.
  • Michael Greenberg reports about a rumor that CMS Forex has been acquired. This is probably a result of the CFTC 10:1 leverage proposal.
  • In that context, Francesc Riverola reports that 8,100 comments have already been submitted to the CFTC about forex regulation. He guesses, and I agree, that most of them are against the proposal to limit leverage to 10:1. Submission closes on March 22nd – this Monday.
  • Kathy Lien dissects the FOMC statement and sees more positive language – dollar bullish signs.
  • Larry Greenberg discusses the long list of uncertainties that forex traders have to sift through.
  • Jay Norris explains how to correlate price and news.
  • Casey Stubbs talks about a plan for profit – how to reward yourself for growth as a trader.

That’s it for now. Have a great weekend!

These funds will fuel expansion into the UK, Europe and Asia, development of the platform and the Trade Leaders program in which you can follow and mimic real trades of successful traders.

Raising money for start ups isn’t so common since the breakout of the financial crisis. It’s quite impressive that Currensee managed to get new funding at these times. It seems that investors believe in the transparent platform and the opportunities on the road ahead. The investors are Northbridge Venture Partners and Egan Managed Capital.

FXTimes is a new forex portal by a forex broker – CMS Forex. Here’s a review on the good and bad features of this new forex portal.

First of all, read Michael’s analysis about this new portal. He has a very interesting point of view, regarding the cost-effectiveness of such a venture. Now, here are my two cents:
