AL Trade Forex Broker Description

What I like about the unregulated Forex brokers (registered in the offshore zones) is that they aim on the non-U.S. and non-Canada traders, offering multilingual websites and user support service. AL Trade is one of such brokers. Like many of the similar on-line brokerage companies it provides MetaTrader 4 platform and the ability to deposit and withdraw funds via WebMoney. Although, I’ve found this broker quite recently […]

The Worse U.S. Economy Gets the Deeper EUR/USD Goes

Contrary to the common sense the EUR/USD declines when more bad news comes out from the U.S. — the world’s largest economy. Probably, the traders believe that if things are so bad in America, other countries will also get plundered by the recession. EUR/USD traded with almost no significant change during the first half of the trading session today, but now it’s down to near 1.2937 — […]

Advanced Markets — Another NFA Forex Broker

Advanced Markets — the new Forex broker added to my site today — doesn’t possess many special features. It’s NFA registered U.S. broker with mini-trading available and the minimum account size at $2,000. Advanced Markets is present on-line since 2006. The only methods to fund the trading account with them are wire transfer and checks — not very convenient, at least for me. The broker offers two […]

ATG (Aaron Trading) — ECN Multi-Platform Broker

ATG — the latest addition to the list of the Forex brokers featured on my site — is a multi-platform broker that aims on the professional and even institutional traders. The professional accounts start from $50,000, while the minimum for institutional trading is $250,000. Such high funds requirements mean a really high level of services. As the ECN broker ATG provides liquidity from several interbank sources and also […]

FX-PRO Forex Broker — Not to Be Confused with FxPro

The newest broker on my site today is FX-PRO — another Jordanian company with the Muslim-friendly trading conditions and the MetaTrader 4 Forex platform. You shouldn’t confuse this broker with FxPro (former NorthFinance and WestCapFX). FX-PRO went on-line in 2002 and thus is much older than FxPro. But for my taste FxPro looks more reliable and comfortable Forex broker to trade with. Apart from the no-swap […]

EUR/USD Up on Negative CPI, Industrial Production Drop

EUR/USD rose from its monthly low today — for the first time this week — after the U.S. reports on CPI and industrial production failed to meet the traders’ extremely pessimistic expectations. The better outcome for the U.S. economy means a better outcome for the global economy, which is good for such currencies as the euro. EUR/USD is currently trading near 1.3281. CPI […]

EUR/USD Down Despite ECB Decision and U.S. Jobless Report

EUR/USD traded near its open price for the first half of the day today but after the ECB decision to cut the rate by only 50 basis points — from 2.5% to 2% and saying that it’s not going to go lower during the next meeting, the euro gained momentum and rose a little. Nevertheless after several fundamental reports went out in U.S. EUR/USD went down significantly […]

EUR/USD Little Lower after High Intraday Volatility

The plethora of the macroeconomic statistics that was out in the U.S. today moved EUR/USD up and down with a great strength during the Forex trading session. Eventually, despite the bad reading in almost all reports, the dollar took the upper hand and is now leading in its rivalry against the euro. EUR/USD is currently trading near 1.3173. Import prices fell by 4.2% in December, […]
