Hi. This is Steve Nison, Many of you may have heard my name since I was the first to reveal candlestick charts to the Western world with my book Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques. As one of the speakers at the June FXCM Currency expo, I want to relay how impressed I was with the high caliber quality of the show. It was one of the most professional and best organized shows I ever attended. And believe me, I have been to a lot. And the array of speakers, carefully hand picked, was perfectly attuned to the forex traders' needs. There is a Samurai saying, "He who is well prepared has won half the battle." To prepare for the battle with the markets, you have to win the information war. This means getting better, faster, and more accurate information than your opponents can get. By using the tools, trading tactics, and strategies you'll get at the FXCM Expo, I can assure that you will be well armed with the skills needed to help you win your battle with the forex markets. I hope to see you there. - Steve Nison, President of Candlecharts.com

The amount of interest and enthusiasm by those who attended our workshops and among those who stayed around to chat thereafter were just terrific! Excellent turnout, and we can only hope that the next expo will have higher capacity seating. True educational experience for currency pro's and novice FX traders alike—surely a sign of bigger and better events to come! - Jes Black, Black Flag Capital Partners

I can only congratulate the FXCM team for putting together the NYC Expo in the way they did. The key point is that retail traders had a real chance to expose themselves to firms and people that can help in their day-to-day trading in many ways that would have been unreachable to them otherwise. The other point is that FXCM projected, once again, as a firm capable of selecting and providing value added services and resources to an ever-growing retail FX clientele. Their effort reinforces our belief that there still are financial firms that seek doing well by doing good, which is a perspective that can only grant long-term success to all parties involved. To summarize my views: it was focused; it was efficient; it was well put together. - Marius Alexe, Market Analyst, Phincorp Capital Markets

The FXCM Expo was a wow! event in the forex world—it was a huge gathering of new, intermediate, and advanced traders—all there to learn from each other and some of the most successful currency traders and educators on the planet. It was a must-go event that should be on the calendar of every currency trader. - Rob Booker, Author of “The Currency Trader’s Handbook”

Your Expo was a big idea, and executed on a grand scale. Your Expo, especially the heavy educational tone, was just what this industry needs. We look forward to your next, "bigger and better" expo. - Rhonda Staskow, Regional Director, Foreign Exchange, Americas IFR Markets Forex Watch, Thomson Financial

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.

Unique experiences and past performances do not guarantee future results! Testimonials herein are unsolicited and are non-representative of all clients; certain accounts may have worse performance than that indicated. Trading spot currencies involves substantial risk and there is always the potential for loss. Your trading results may vary. Because the risk factor is high in the foreign exchange market trading, only genuine "risk" funds should be used in such trading. If you do not have the extra capital that you can afford to lose, you should not trade in the foreign exchange market. No "safe" trading system has ever been devised, and no one can guarantee profits or freedom from loss.
