We’re excited to reveal the new and latest addition to Myfxbook – a charts section!

What’s a social forex trading community without a sophisticated charts area? This is a section we’ve been working on for a while now in order to create a one of a kind, one place stop for creating, sharing and discussing charts in real-time!

There are many features which you will notice and here’s the list (the list is quite long, so please bear with us 🙂 ):

	Real time feed and real time chart sharing with anyone watching the chart.
	Vote and follow charts. Get notified of every change to a subscribed chart in real-time and by email.

	Use templates to create and save your own chart settings. Use different styles for different trading systems.
	All data is saved server side. No matter if you’ve started your chart in your office – you can pick off from the same spot where you’ve left off at your home.
	Publish your chart to thousands of forex traders so it can be discussed an analyzed by our community.
	Over 15 different tools: fibonacci arcs, fibnacci fan, trendlne, rectangle, circle and many more.

	11 different chart modes: Candlestick, OHLC, line, area, bar, StepLine, Stick, Market, Spline, SplineArea, StepLineArea.
	Inbuilt invitations. Just copy the url and share the chart in real time with your fellow traders.

You can keep your chart private (and use the real-time chat as a trading journal) or share it with others.

Also, we will be featuring selected charts on our Facebook and twitter page – if you wish to have your forex chart featured, please make sure it is clearly explained.

Let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions or feedback, we would love to hear it as always! (Please keep in mind that the new section is in beta, so in case of any issues, do let us know).

We’re happy to announce the addition of a new quotes comparison section which should be a very handy tool for arbitrage purposes and quote comparison, showing you unique and vital information unavailable anywhere else!

The section covers all of the brokers covered in the spread section (over 70 brokers) and shows a real-time quote table, highlighting the best/worst quote in real-time!

Clicking on a specific broker will reveal a bar chart updating in real-time the difference in pips from other quotations.

As with the spreads, the data is collected from over 10,000 real accounts, in real-time.

The new section already contains a widget which you can use in your blog/website.

Let us know what you think and if you have comments/suggestions on the new section.

Regards,

The Myfxbook team.

We’ve been getting a lot of emails from concerned members regarding the sponsor of the contest (Commexfx), who notified us of several worrying reviews on other websites (which we weren’t aware of). After a long discussion, we’ve taken the unusual step of cancelling a contest.

We would like to thank all of the members who notified us with this situation and would like to apologize for the inconvenience.

On the same note, a new contest will be announced next month, which you’ll be able to register for.

The Myfxbook team.
