Hi everyone,

October 2008 was the best month ever at FXstreet.com pushing unique visitors to a new high of almost 600,000 in FXstreet’s English site and 710,000 if we take in count all FXstreet.com’s web sites.

October traffic was much better than expected raising a 32% in unique visitors, 26% in visits and 18% in page views from September.

Those are terrific growth numbers as September was already the second best ever month in our 9 years of history.

Compared with October 2007, we experienced a terrific growth of 57% in unique visitors, 43% in visits and 22% in page views.

As happened in January and September, October was a crazy month for the financial markets due the crisis turmoil.

I’ll follow the rest of the year numbers to see where September & October numbers consolidate.
