FOREX CLUB Launches StartFX 2 Trading Platform

FOREX CLUB, a leading online broker[1], today announces the launch of StartFX 2, an innovative trading platform with educational tools and an in-built mentoring process that have been designed specifically for novice traders.

In line with FOREX CLUB's strategy to introduce more consumers to the benefits of currency trading, StartFX 2 has been created to provide beginners with a safe environment in which to learn the skills required to become a successful currency trader and then for them actually to be able to trade using the same system.

As traders become more experienced using StartFX 2, they are gradually introduced to more sophisticated trading functions and tools, allowing them to continue honing their skills in a controlled environment, whether in the demo form or live on the platform.

StartFX 2 - evidence for innovation: FOREX CLUB believes StartFX 2 is genuinely innovative in the retail FX industry, because while there are competitor platforms that are easy for clients, and others which are rich in functionality, none are both easy and functional in same time. Furthermore, there aren't platforms that grow with clients' experience, as StartFX 2 enables clients to access more sophisticated functions and tools in line with their growing level of experience.

Denis Ivanov, Product Development Project Manager of FOREX CLUB, said: "StartFX 2 has been designed entirely with the novice trader in mind. We're convinced it's an innovative platform in retail FX, because StartFX 2 is easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to trade with. Importantly, it also grows with each individual client's experience. For these reasons we believe StartFX 2 will broaden the appeal of currency trading beyond its existing markets and help more traders be efficient and effective across a wider range of forex competency."

Highlights of the features available in StartFX2 include

• Multi-level structure provides traders with additional functions in line with their experience level
• Two ways to trade: instant execution or request for quote
• No spreads, no slippage and no requotes under request for quote mode
• Instant commission returns on unprofitable trades
• Built-in trading wizard that guides investors through every trade
• Guaranteed fills
• Dow Jones streaming news
• Practice mode on weekends
