<p class="releaseDateline">Needham, MA (PRWEB) March 25, 2009 </p>
<p> In a promotional effort meant to provide currency traders with the opportunity to trade live Forex without having to risk their own money, TradersChoiceFX has teamed up with i-Trade FX to give each new client $  100 in a pre-funded Metatrader 4 live account.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>TradersChoiceFX is a full-service introducing brokerage that sets up clients with the ideal broker for their Forex trading style. Instead of charging fees for their services, their income comes directly from the broker. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The complimentary $  100 MetaTrader account arrangement is exclusive to TradersChoiceFX clients who sign up with i-Trade FX. Essentially, this means that traders who open an account with TradersChoiceFX at i-Trade FX get the rare chance to get into foreign exchange trading for free. They&#8217;ll even get $  100 to trade with.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>TradersChoiceFX puts it down as promotional spending. TradersChoiceFX has committed to a marketing tactic with i-Trade FX that involves giving that money directly to clients instead of spending it on primetime TV commercials and billboards in Time Square.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>These free $  100 Forex accounts are only available for a very limited amount of time at TradersChoiceFX.com.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>

                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline"> (PRWEB) December 23, 2009 </p>
<p> Online forex brokers are moving into a new era: one where opening a new account on its own is simply not enough. Recent client feedback for Tadawul FX shows that there has been a significant rise in the demand for increased customer service.  The feedback is indicative of a growing trend that is emerging in light of the economic crisis. Forex traders are demanding better service and brokers that are not used to &#8211; or unable to &#8211; provide this are finding themselves losing clients.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Going against the grain, Tadawul FX  is a forex broker which has always offered a high level of customer service and is now reaping the rewards of doing so. Indeed, the offices of TDFX were moved from Switzerland to Cyprus to cope with the growing demand by investors for brokers offering such as service. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;We have always maintained the importance of superior customer service,&#8221; says Ramzi Chamat, CEO of Tadawul FX, now with its headquarters located in Limassol. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;After our clients open their accounts, we advise them, provide them with market research and analyses, market news, and educational tips, videos, tutorials, and articles.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;In essence, we try to make our clients more successful online forex traders. TDFX is not about getting rich quick, it&#8217;s about a long term business relationship for mutual benefit.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Having actively pursued customer feedback &#8211; moreso since their move to Cyprus &#8211; TDFX have been noticing a continued and steady incline in the importance their clients place on good customer service. After the economic crisis occurred however, these figures spiked astronomically and are still rising. It&#8217;s a clear indication that traders want more from their brokers.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With relatively few online forex trading brokers offering such comprehensive facilities, the path is now wide open for those offering more to gain more. However, it is not as easy as it sounds, warns Ramzi.&#13;<br />
<br />&#8220;Comprehensive customer support is something you have to want to offer your clients. It takes time, money, and effort, so is not something to go into lightly. Ultimately, if you are not dedicated to your clients, you will let them down with promises of services you can neither maintain nor provide.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>And the proof is in the pudding. Surrounded by struggling online forex brokers around them, TDFX has never been so strong.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Ramzi is proud. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;Tadawul FX has always provided the very best in customer service &#8211; and our success to date shows that doing so was definitely the right move forward.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Tadawul FX head offices are located at:</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Samos Center, 1st floor,&#13;<br />
<br />67 Spyrou Kyprianou Street&#13;<br />
<br />4043 Yermasoyia&#13;<br />
<br />Limassol Cyprus</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Alternatively, support staff can be contacted on +357 25200900, or for individuals interested in setting up an online forex trading account, there is also support via live chat online at www.tadawulfx.com.</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Boulder, CO (PRWEB) October 19, 2010 </p>
<p> The new CFTC/NFA regulation that caused sheer panic to many US Forex traders is taking effect today.  By now, all Forex Traders must have heard about this new regulation.  But do they really understand how it works? The new regulation reduces the leverage available at US Forex brokerages to 50:1. The question remains, is this going to make or break your business? </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In 100:1 leverage ratio, a trader would be required to place $  1000 in deposited funds for every $  100,000 standard lot traded. In 50:1 leverage  $  2000 in deposited funds would be required for the same standard lot. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>While most Forex traders have reacted negatively to this new regulation, Scott Shubert, CEO of Trading Mastermind sees this as a very minor challenge for Forex traders. He says that being successful in Forex trading with 50:1 leverage will depend on how well you manage your risk. He believes that the only problem with high leverage is if uneducated traders use poor risk management.  Scott is a successful Forex trader who has been recognized as one of the few legitimate trainers in the Forex trading industry for more than five years and is the author of Yin Yang Forex Training System which is one of the most well received and comprehensive Forex training systems currently available. His latest video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yOOebtOAJ0) thoroughly demonstrates how to get around the challenge of this new CFTC regulation and how to properly manage the risk involved.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Banks have been trying to attract new customers for years by offering gifts like appliances and iPods when opening up one account or another. Now more banks are offering sign-up, cash bonuses.“The $100 bill is the new toaster,&#8221; said Richard Barrington a consultant at MoneyRates.com, a financial education Web site.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.forex-tradings.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/piggy_bank_green_200.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-92" title="piggy_bank_green_200" src="http://www.forex-tradings.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/piggy_bank_green_200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Banks like Capital One [COF  35.57    0.01  (+0.03%)   ], Chase [JPM  38.78    -0.09  (-0.23%)   ], SunTrust Banks [STI  22.63    -0.36  (-1.57%)   ], M&amp;T Bank [MTB  72.46    -0.21  (-0.29%)   ] and Bank of America [BAC  14.6585    -0.0115  (-0.08%)   ] are offering cash incentives, ranging from $50 to $200, to new customers who open an account.</p>
<p>The pitches come at a time when consumers are thinking more about switching banks, says Rilla Delorier, chief marketing officer of SunTrust, which is offering $150 for new customers to open accounts and $100 for current customers to use online bill paying.</p>
<p>She says company research found that people were worried about the stability of their bank after a wave of mergers and bank failures in the past recent years.</p>
<p>But are the deals worth it to consumers?</p>
<p>&#8220;They’re at best as a tie breaker if you&#8217;re considering a switch between two accounts that are both equal,” says Barrington.</p>
<p>If you’re looking to make a switch based on a cash promotion, consider these tips from personal finance experts:</p>
<p><strong><strong>You’re not just opening account</strong></strong>. Many of the banks are advertising that if you &#8220;open an account&#8221; you’ll get the money, but it’s much more complicated than that, says Avi Karnani, strategic advisor at LendingTree and co-founder of Thrive, a free personal finance site.</p>
<p>For many of the promotions, there’s a set a list of rules customers must follow in order to get the money. For some promotions you have to set up direct deposit and/or sign up for bill payments. Karnani says what banks are really trying to get you to do is switch banks entirely and build up their government-insured deposits.</p>
<p>Make sure you can make that commitment before accepting an offer.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Switching banks takes work</strong></strong>. “It’s not free money, it’s a lot of work to switch your bank,” says Karnani. Consider everything that needs to be done: switching direct deposit at work, rewiring electronic payments and changing your debit card number for automatic payments that you may have set up for places like the gym or online rental DVDs.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Check fees and interest rates</strong></strong>. While the $100 might look attractive, investigate the fees the bank will charge and also the interest rates on their savings accounts, says Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at BankRate.com.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be paying much more than the $100 upfront gift in the long term if the bank has higher fees and lower interest rates than your current bank.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Go if you need a new account.</strong></strong></p>
<p>Of course, if you&#8217;re looking to change banks, then you may be in luck.</p>
<p>“If you’re already out to change your banking relationship, it could be a potentially a good deal for you,” says Karnani, who stresses that you make sure that you understand all the rules and follow them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With new regulations starting in less than a month, you may need to take stock of your credit card portfolio to determine which cards&#8217; terms are changing to your benefit and which feature changes that can hit you in the wallet.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.forex-tradings.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/credit_card_woman_200.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-40" title="credit_card_woman_200" src="http://www.forex-tradings.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/credit_card_woman_200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>The most important thing to do, says Lauren Bowne, staff attorney at San Francisco-based Consumers Union, is be aware of your card terms. So much has changed in recent months that consumers need to pay attention to what is and isn&#8217;t featured in the credit card.</p>
<p>&#8220;Even if you&#8217;re the person who pays off your balance and doesn&#8217;t even have any credit card debt,&#8221; says Bowne. &#8220;They might get a notice that says they&#8217;re getting a $100 annual fee. Even people with stellar credit and stellar credit payment histories need to pay attention.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here are five smart credit card moves to make before Feb. 22:</p>
<ul>
<li>Consider waiting to get new credit cards until after Feb. 22 because new accounts are protected from interest rate increases for the first year. As issuers compete for new customers in the new reform law landscape, there may be good deals and offers for people with good credit.</li>
<li>For existing accounts, consider doing a balance transfer from higher interest rate cards to accounts with lower APRs. Some issuers are offering good customers balance transfers of at least a year. Remember that there is a cost of 3 percent or 4 percent of the amount transferred, so weigh that decision carefully. Also, take note of what the new interest rate will be AFTER the promotional period ends. If it&#8217;s higher than the rate on the old card or only a few points lower, it may not be worth it to switch.</li>
<li>Have a Plan B backup card or two: Issuers can still lower your credit limit and close your account without advance notice. Make sure you have more than one card as a backup in case this happens to you and you need a credit card for emergencies.</li>
<li>Charge a small amount on those other cards every other month and pay it off in full when the bill comes. This avoids any dormancy fee that may be assessed and may prevent the company from closing the account for inactivity. Some issuers require a minimum amount of charging to avoid inactivity fees, so check your terms.</li>
<li>Young adults&#8217; access to credit will be restricted by the new law. For college students or anyone under 21 who is responsible with credit, the best move could be to get a credit card now while you still can on your own. After Feb. 22, you will have to get an adult (over 21) co-signer and may be asked to show proof you have the ability to pay.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><strong>Some advice doesn&#8217;t change<br />
</strong></strong>In addition to the moves to make before the law takes effect, good credit card habits remain important, some of them even more so.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Don&#8217;t go overboard.</strong></strong> Making too many changes within a short period &#8212; as in opening or closing several accounts at once &#8212; can hurt your credit score. If you&#8217;re closing or adding new accounts and about to apply for a loan, it may be better to keep the cards you currently have &#8212; even if the terms are worse. Closing an account that you&#8217;ve had for a long time can negatively impact the portion of your credit score related to credit utilization ratio.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Pay your bills on time.</strong></strong> Even though the credit card law gives you a 60-day window for late payments before banks can impose penalty interest rates on existing balances, payments not received by the due date will show up as bad marks on your credit report.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Pay more than the minimum amount due.</strong></strong> It will help you pay your credit card debt off faster. The new law mandates that your billing statement include a prominent notice of how long it will take you to pay off your debt. For many, that could be a wake-up call.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble paying your bills, get help from an accredited nonprofit credit counselor.Your monthly credit card statement will feature a toll-free number to call for help. The credit card reform law requires that issuers prominently display a toll-free number that consumers can call to get the names of at least three consumer credit counseling agencies that have been approved by the U.S. bankruptcy courts for credit and debt management counseling.</p>
