Still number 1. A bit more than a year ago, an article was published on Bloomberg stating that FXStreet News was ranked top worldwide among Twitter Inc. users of currency-market analysis. And this morning, we wanted to check if it was still the case. And to our great pleasure, it still is. And we are proud. Here is the proof, a screenshot from Bloomberg terminals.

As a technology company FXStreet must ensure that the best technologies are used in the services that we provide. From day 1, FXStreet chose Microsoft as a key Partner to provide the technology that we needed.

Through a series of exams Microsoft studies and rewards the company that passes them with different advantages over they products, courses and software that is normally licensed.

In the coming days, we will welcome two important and close collaborators of FXStreet… one, Richard Olsen, in the virtual world (Live Video on Youtube) and the other, Yohay Elam, in the real world (speech in Barcelona).
In our Live Analysis Room, Dale Pinkert will interview Richard Olsen, an economic researcher in high frequency finance known as the co-founder and former Chairman of OANDA. He will discuss the blockchain technolog (the distributive ledger technology that underpins Bitcoins), a word that has been in everyone’s mouth in the financial services firms these last months. Does it have the potential to disrupt the industry and affect how Forex traders operate? We’ll hear Richard’s thoughts. We will also talk about his general vision of the future and his new company Lykke whose ambitious project is to create a global FX marketplace, where “traders will be able to trade at ultra-low cost and will not be captive to any one broker. They will be able to transfer their assets at any time”, as he explained to Leaprate in a recent interview. Continue reading Richard Olsen and Yohay Elam to speak at FXStreet

To close the series of interviews with our eight Women in Forex, we wanted to share with you a video from the Financial Times that our Head of Content Pere Monguió found a few days ago.
Investment is a man’s world, despite evidence that women may well be better at it. Why? John Authers talks to Suzanne Duncan of State Street and Meredith Jones, author of Women of the Street in a search for answers. Continue reading Women of the Street – FT Video
Jane Foley is an economist specialized in currencies with a long experience in the banking sector. She has worked for Standard and Poor’s, Barclays, Gain Capital and Rabobank, where she’s been a Forex strategist for the last five years, just when we interviewed her for the first time. Feeling privileged to have the kind of job she has, Jane believes you can be a good working mother as long as you are organized and separate your professional and personal lives as much as you can. According to her, “it is difficult to find women who want to work in the industry” and businesses should attract more women in all parts of their organizations. Continue reading Women in Forex – Jane Foley: “Businesses are potentially losing out by not attracting more women”
Valeria Bednarik has been a currency trader for 12 years now, and a member of the FXStreet team since 2009. Just as she told us five years ago in our interview with her, she loves what she does for a living… underlining that she works to live, and not the contrary. Working from her home in Buenos Aires, she follows a European schedule, which is a bit gruelling, waking up at 4 am. But she feels comfortable that way, and the combination of work and family now “runs like a Swiss clock”. Her kids being older and more independent, she has more space for herself. She believes women have some qualities that make them better traders, though she thinks that “it will take a couple more decades to see women taking a more relevant role in the financial world.” Continue reading Women in Forex – Valeria Bednarik: “My relationship with Forex is like an old marriage”
