Hi everyone

FXstreet.com breaks the rules of currency exchange introducing FXstreet.com Global Transfers

http://www.fxstreetgt.com

a service which offers exchange rates and services that are normally reserved for large corporations. When it comes to transferring money internationally, the costs can often be prohibitive due to high transaction charges and uncompetitive foreign exchange rates.

OzForex, the provider of the FXstreet.com Global Transfers service, was launched in 1998 to bring a better deal to individual as well as small to medium sized business clients. Offering 24-hour access to Corporate and Private Client Dealers, the OzForex Group completes over 200,000 funds transfers per year on behalf of clients.

OzForex is a subsidiary of Macquarie Bank Limited, one of Australia’s leading financial organizations.

I’m really proud of this partnership and I hope it will get a great acceptance among our visitors as I’ve been requested many times to referr to a competitive exchange rate service. Well, here you have one that it’s one of the best.

I want also to thank Matt Gilmore, Founder and Joint Managing Director at OzForex for his interest in FXstreet.com and for being there for us many times during the last 10 years.

Thanks Matt!

Hi everyone

I just took a day off - one single day!!!! - and when I got back today to the office I found this in my beautiful office wall:

What the hell are they doing to my precious wall?

That’s Setxi’s fault. Setxi is my company’s partner along my wife Miriam. The three of us started this company: the programmer - Setxi -, the dessigner - Miriam - and the economist - myself.

Setxi is seeing the number 40 coming all over him and he is in a severe crisis of youth. He dresses like a teenager, he loaded the office with plants - plants everywhere - and now he has got a paintor to colour a little bit our beautiful white walls… Poor guy!

To follow the evolution of our walls, here you have the Flickr link:

I’ll start looking for a job soon

Hi everyone

After launching FXstreet.com in Spanish, Chinese and Japanese, today we have launched our new Russian Site:

http://www.fxstreet.net

Enjoy it

Francesc

Hi everyone,

FXstreet websites reached 7,033,000 page views once again in October vs. 6,604,000 in September, slowly and progressively approaching to March’s all-time highs of 7,200,000.

Last month I was speculating here that if October turned to be as shaky as It was the previous year, new highs could be touched. Well, fortunately for the global financial stability and unfortunately for our traffic numbers, October was nothing special so the sites overall went up driven by the good performance of the English site and mobile.

Unique visitors and visits grew to 696,000 and 2,420,000 vs. 634,000 and 2,253,000 the previous month.

If we compare FXstreet.com English site data for October with the same month the previous year, we can observe that the site fell a 7% above in unique visitors, while grew a 4% in visits and 17% in page views.

Francesc

FXstreet.com English Site Traffic Numbers: October 2009 vs. October 2008

New Chapter: C01 - Developing a Trading System

Having studied Units A and B you should now be familiarized with the Forex market and able to pick the best set-ups, the optimal time to trade as well as a lot of guidelines about how to trade them.
However, and because there are exceptions to analytical guidelines without which market analysis would be a science of exactitude - not one of probability-, you need a structured approach, in other words: a trading system.

Check it out!
