FXStreet leading financial information portal, updates its platform

FXStreet-Barcelona

The offices are a medieval building at Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, but once inside you breathe air rather a Silicon Valley: a type loft environment with graffiti on the walls and a young and carefree template jumping from one screen to another. They must like their job: they have to hang, as a joke, a picture of quotations on the bathroom door.

This is where the FXStreet portal provides information on international currency markets.

Because, as stated in the well-known slogan, traders sleep, but markets never rest.

The company experienced a downturn in 2013, which forced him to an internal restructuring, to renew 90% of its workforce and to diversify their sources of income. In addition to advertising, FXStreet sell specific products to brokers and premium subscriptions.

“Those who operate in currencies are essentially professionals. No inside information and can make big profits. But the oscillations are small, a lot of money to play and there is much leverage. It is dangerous. 90% is speculation and it is recommended that the particular first report, “Rivarola said.
