April CPI Disappoints Dollar Bulls

While the April CPI report was expected by many Forex traders to improve the dollar positions and helped greenback gain before the actual release, disappointing CPI reading pushed EUR/USD up from its daily lows and it’s now trading almost without any loss (1.5459 currently with an open rate at 1.5465). CPI (all items) was at 0.2% in April — that’s below the March value (0.3%) and […]

One Financial — New CFD/Forex Broker

One Financial is quite a new Forex broker, that is actually specializing on CFD and other futures trading, but offers Forex trading services too.

MasterForex — MetaTrader 4 Forex Broker

MasterForex existed on-line since 2006, but being very similar to other MT4 Forex brokers it has never received such traders’ community attention as their competitors (e.g. LiteForex or FXOpen). As its rivals MasterForex accepts WebMoney, e-gold and wire transfer for deposit/withdraw operations, trading from $1, MT4 platform, CFD trading and a flexible leverage.
