FX Trading — Forex Broker with a Right Name

August 10th, 2009

The newest Forex broker on my site currently is FX Trading — a rather cool name to have for a broker, in my opinion. They are on-line since 2003 but I can’t say that they are very popular, because they serve as an IB for other (more “wholesale”) broker. They are based in United …

EUR/USD Drops on Payrolls Data

August 7th, 2009

The euro dropped against the dollar on the positive (compared to the expectations) nonfarm payrolls data today.
