CMS Forex launched a new marketing initiative for the summer centered on info graphics and social media. Info graphics or information graphics are graphic visual representations of information or data. Given that 70% of forex traders consider themselves beginners (trading less than 5 years), info graphics are a quick way to attract more and more traders to currency trading. CMS Forex has made their info graphic easily available to website owners and blog writers through an embedded link. This is great information for traders, similar to Pepperstone’s “Anatomy of the Forex Market.” The only problem I see is that some site owners will be hesitant to use this tool since CMS Forex is an exclusive IB to Gain Capital.
A second initiative by CMS Forex is the Social Hub section on their site. They have combined all of their social media / social networking tools into one page to make it easy for their traders to share information. CMS Forex, like other leading brokers, now has a dedicated forex social team to engage clients and leads through social media sites. This practice started when brokers sent representatives to various forums to answer questions. The earliest adopters were MB Trading’s Justin LeBlang and FXCM’s Jason Rogers – now all major brokers are doing the same.

CMS Forex transitioned to an IB and continues to accept retail business.
actually i believe they are an FCM – meaning they only deal with institutional clients (eligible parties)
Brian, we reached out to CMS and here is their response:
CMS Forex is an NFA member Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and approved Forex Firm. Part of CMS’ business is to provide clearing services for institutional clients, referred to as eligible counterparties, or ECPs, globally. Another part of CMS’ business is to act, under our FCM status with the NFA, as an introducer of retail clients to Gain Capital – Forex.com.
