2011-12-06T12:23:24.000+02:00

eToro soft launches MT4
2011-12-01T15:41:32.000+02:00
Without any official announcement or promotions eToro have recently soft launched the MT4 platform. While to some it may sounds trivial as it's another broker adding the popular MT4 to the list of its platforms - in case of eToro it's not trivial at all.

NFA keeps choking the forex industry - aggressively raises member fees
2011-11-29T09:29:43.000+02:00
NFA is doing an amazingly effective job at spitting in the well it drinks from. In fact NFA behaves not as a regulator but as a controlling shareholder of its members - as it basically does whatever it wants when it comes to requirements and 'membership' fees. NFA just declared a new 'dividend' for itself by aggressively raising membership fees which for some strange reason will now be in the region of 2% of forex broker's gross (!) revenue instead of being a flat yearly fee like up until now. To the best of my knowledge NFA is the only forex dictator regulator charging percentage of volume and/or revenue instead of just charging same membership fee from everyone.

Tradency launches with Invast Securities in Japan
2011-11-28T16:29:38.000+02:00
Tradency just announced that they scored a major deal for their Mirror Trader platform and will launch it with Invast Securities in Japan. The whole concept of MT4 and algo-trading in forex is relatively fresh in Japan and just started to pick up. This puts Tradency and the more aggressive foreign MT4 brokers in pole position to take a nice cut of the local market share if this trend continues.

NFA files complaint against Tracy Morgan Spaeth charging him with multiple misleading forex practices
2011-11-23T10:49:15.000+02:00
One of the webinars that Spaeth used to solicit customers promoted a computerized forex trading system, known as Tradestar, that the webinar claimed was almost risk-free and consistently profitable. The Tradestar trading system was developed and/or owned by Trade Star Incorporated, a company controlled by a convicted felon named Robert Mihailovich (Mihailovich), who, in July 2010, was charged by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) with fraudulently soliciting over $30 million from customers for forex and futures investments.

MQL5 has a malware on its name now

I guess it's another sign of one's popularity. Kaspersky, one of world's leading antivirus software developers, has recently discovered a malware that tries to exploit the recently launched MQL5 Cloud Network. Since that network's purpose is to help test EA's for a fee, crooks thought it would be financially rewarding for them to try to manipulate it in their favor.

MSN and Saxo Bank discontinue MSN Trader
2011-11-18T15:36:00.000+02:00
MSN Trader was an ambitious and an out of the box project co-launched by Microsoft and Saxo Bank exactly a year ago. Basically Microsoft became Saxo Bank's White Label and was offering forex, futures and CFDs. This is one of those projects that have small chances to become hugely successful and bigger chances of failing. Unfortunately for MSN and Saxo it was the latter.

Currensee makes a foray into institutional forex market, partners with HedgeCo
2011-11-18T11:13:21.000+02:00
Currensee which until now was a hub for retail forex traders looking to follow credible traders has now expanded into the institutional forex market. The move makes sense for Currensee for two reasons: first is that it still has not gained much traction in the retail forex market, the other is that Currensee has institutional investors which were probably instrumental in making this deal with HedgeCo happening. Institutional volumes are typically much higher than the retail ones and hence may be much more profitable for Currensee.
