FX Junction launches AutoCopy - the latest social network to do so
- FX Junction is a relatively fresh entrant into the forex social space but it already made an impact by white labeling its service to Interbank FX - the first forex broker who leased this technology from a third part provider (unlike eToro for instance who indeed was the first broker with such technology, though its own). Social networks for now haven't lived up to high expectations some had - they haven't become the mass aggregators of forex traders.
Forex Factory launches Trades - trades publishing functionality
- Looks like Forex Factory is itching closer to a social forex network model. Not too long ago FF launched Trade Explorer - a trading performance analysis service and now it enhances it by releasing Trades - a new product that tells you who’s buying, who’s selling, and basically who's doing what.
AvaFX partners with ayondo - a new signal following platform
- It seems forex signal/trade following is the biggest trend now with just about everybody offering their own version of this - Currensee, Tradency, Zulutrade, FxStat, fxjunction, Collective2, eToro and dozens of other smaller services. Each of these providers has its own platform with or without social aspects, some offer signal trading, others actual traders following. Some platforms are very simple, others are advanced are professional. Today we see AvaFX (one of the fastest growing fx brokers) partnering with ayondo- a relatively unknown/new signal following service. ayondo seems to be a German venture and has also partnered with UK based ActivTrades.
Tradency's Mirror Trader now allows users to share their trading results
- Stats publishing is certainly the latest trend sweeping the forex world: ever since myfxbook came out many other sites started offering stats publishing. eToro, Zulutrade and Currensee are the other trade following platforms that allow stats publishing.
Interbank FX becomes first U.S. broker to offer social network to clients
- I just received this press release from Interbank FX announcing the launch of IBFXConnect, their social trading network. I see forex social networks as the next battle ground for forex brokers to win over traders from other brokers. Congratulations to Interbank FX for recognizing this trend ahead of most other U.S. firms. I believe that we will see a shift in client profitability numbers to the upside as more and more traders start using the Copy Trade functionality (where new traders can copy the strategies of experienced traders).
