whats just PR.Our information is“rst tomarket”-and is often not found in any other sites.Forex Magnates is followed bybrokers and traders alike lled with impartial,unique discussions,advice,educationand opinions.,In recent months,the blog has expanded to satiate the growing demand for the latestanalysis and breaking news.This includes covering platform developments and up-grades,broker mergers and acquisitions,refuting the major scams and reviewing themajor and pioneering undertakings in web forums,portals and trade publications.,Comments,complaints,recommendations and advertising inquiries all go to,Q1 2011,Forex Market overview and forecast:,The global Forex market has continued its overall growth in terms of volume in the pastquarter.Although several brokers have reported lower/unchanged volumes(mainlypublic FXCM and Gain)other brokers(Oanda,Saxo Bank)have reported signicantgrowth of their business.This was also complimented by the ever growing Asian andMiddle East markets.It seems that the CFTCs and Japans regulatory mandatoryreduction in volume has taken its toll on some brokers.,The market was uneventful in terms of participants,unlike the previous quarter whichsaw two brokers(Gain and FXCM)going public.Another broker may have delayed/cancelled its IPO this quarter(FxPro)so there hasnt been any dramatic changes in theindustry.Unsurprisingly both public brokers havent exactly splashed around cash onacquisitions(leave alone FXCM buying GCI for only$5 million)as they have suggestedin their prospectuses and most cash received was used to either pay back existinginvestors or is still sitting in the bank.On the other hand,acquisitions in this market areanything but trivial for numerous reasons.,The IPO celebration however was marred by class action suits lodged against FXCM,Comments,complaints,recommendations and advertising inquiries all go

after FXCM published its January tradingdata which missed analysts expectations and subsequentlyFXCMs price was slashed by a Citi analyst the market re-sponded immediately with FXCM losing as much as 14%ina single day of trading.FXCMs stock has however regainedmost of the drop after better than expected 2010 year endresults were unveiled.,overestimated in the previous reports.ACM reported its vol-umes through its acquirer Swissquote Bank.This report ex-cludes many small brokers and the whole Japanese marketwhich is both undergoing many changes now and is not astransparent in terms of disclosing volume numbers.Brokersin bold have disclosed their volumes in their IPO or ofcial endof year reports.,This quarter also marked the second quarter that US brokers,Monthly,Daily,were obligated to publish their clients protability reports and wesaw that not all brokers are equal.Many brokers seem to havecomplained to the CFTC about their peers calculation methods(mainly blaming Oanda for cooking the numbers)and CFTC hasissued a correction which now means brokers cannot includeinterest payments into their protability calculations.The market is also being driven by what used to be a marginalniche but now seems to be exponentially growing binary andforex options.The binary trading market has literally explodedlately with dozens of various brokers(and platform providers)competing in this new arena.This trading is a draw to theunsophisticated trader,as its as simple as trading/gamblingcan get,with most brokers offering a plain Up or Down option,which if correct earns you a 70%prot but wipes 100%ofyour position if incorrect.The only legal such venue in the USis IG Markets controlled Nadex.Nadex however is still makingits rst appearance and hasnt gained much traction yet.Gambling operators who are monitoring the forex marketclosely are slowly entering although with no remarkable suc-cess.The latest attempt is by William Hill with its Day Traderwhich is far from being competitive with any other similar binaryplatforms.Its only natural given the simplistic nature of binarytrading(or gambling as some may call it)that casino operatorswould pick this product over more complicated forex trading.VolumeOverall the volumes have grown in the past quarter albeit notat a very high rate.Some of the brokers reported lower orsteady volumes while others have reported signicant growth.Below is a summary of volumes as ofcially/unofcially report-ed by some brokers or estimated when there was no availabledata.Major changes are mainly in the addition of iForex,a majorIsraeli/Middle Eastern broker,little known in the US or Europethough it should be known given its volume.Dukascopy and,OandaSaxo
