Forex Magnates is now available in Japanese
- As part of an ongoing Forex Magnates network expansion Forex Magnates is now available in the Japanese language - jp.site13.miydim.com. Along with the recently launched Chinese Forex Magnates and the quarterly retail forex report (Q3 will become available in about 2 weeks) this is one of many more upcoming changes. I hope this will help my many Japanese readers access the Forex Magnates information more easily.

CFTC Charges Accounting Firm McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, and Partner David Shane with Failure to Properly Audit One World Capital Group
- It's extremely interesting to see CFTC taking the oversight of its members one step further by going after not only its member firms but even after their auditors - if those failed to do their job. CFTC just charged an accounting firm and one of its partners for failing to properly audit One World Capital Group - a former forex broker which ceased its operations in 2007. This adds to CFTC's aggressive pursuit of even completely foreign firms which it perceives as breaking its rules.

FXCM's August 2011 Monthly Metrics - Crazy August means volumes are up!
- As we already know August was one crazy (volatile) month. This means two things - brokers will report volumes higher than the average and many traders will have lost money. We'll see this reflected both in the public brokers' data, such as FXCM below, and in this quarter's profitability report (due in October). Not surprisingly FXCM shows a very strong growth in volumes, especially institutional ones, amid slow growth in number of accounts.
