fxstreet partners with myfxbook, becomes its adspace reseller
fxstreet, the largest or the second largest (depends how you look at the numbers) forex portal in the world, announced that it partnered with myfxbook, the rapidly growing forex community. fxstreet will resell myfxbook’s ad space. If my memory serves me right, myfxbook offers only one ad on any page and the CPM is around [...]

Forexpros surpasses 100,000 visitors a day barrier
Yesterday I had a chance to take a glimpse at Forex Pros‘s Google Analytics report and I was surprised to see that for some time now they are enjoying more than 100k visitors a day (except weekends of course).

It seems that forexfactory [...]

5,500 comments on the new CFTC rules – that’s it?!
fxstreet’s Francesc reported that CFTC has received 5,500 comments from brokers and traders. And all I can say is that this is a massive disappointment. I expected US traders to actually act on this proposal and voice out their displeasure. I guess I was totally wrong. If only 5,500 traders out of several hundreds of thousands [...]
Crisis in the Forex portals market? I don’t think so
fxstreet.com’s Francesc has published a couple of very interesting posts about several Forex portals looking to sell out. He also speculated that this might be an indication of a crisis in the Forex portals market. I have to disagree. The Forex portals market, which I wrote about a few times already (here and here), is [...]
