Are you looking to earn a quick buck? No need to trip over small children or fellow pip chasers, because all Currensee members are getting an extra 10 Bonus Bucks to spend in the Currensee Marketplace as part of our Bucksapalooza extravaganza. The Pips of Currensee are fans of free Bucks and tacky names, and thought there was no better way to kick off this [sticky] summer than to give back to the traders that give us a reason to come to work every day.
To the skeptics and party poopers, here’s the not-so-fine print you’re all waiting for:
- You get 10 Bonus Bucks. Really, they’re free. You don’t owe us your firstborn, but we do enjoy homemade soufflés.
- Spend your Bonus Bucks and other Bucks you’ve earned by participating on Currensee.com towards purchases in the Currensee Marketplace.
- Your 10 Bonus Bucks and this offer will self-destruct on Wednesday, June 30, 2010. On Thursday you will wake up a refreshed individual minus those 10 Bonus Bucks if you haven’t spent them.
Why are we doing this? Well, the obvious answer is because we’re awesome. But the real reason is because we’re always riding our high-horse about real traders, real trades, real time, and it’s time to give back with real rewards. We’ve really pulled out all the stops so you can get your Buck’s worth. Choose from live trade planning webinars, daily newsletters from our Chief Market Analyst, a Thomson Reuters trading widget, and more. In fact, if you’re reading this your Currensee Bonus Bucks are waiting. Quit reading about it and go spend your free money!

Well we could have told you that, but we’re glad others are catching on. We just got word Lead411 has named us Boston’s fastest growing financial services companies. Our Forex trading social network was hand-selected based on its revenue growth, funding and website traffic. To toot our own horn a bit, Lead411 looked at 1,250+ companies and chose Currensee as the one to watch.
All the Pips here at Currensee World Headquarters in Boston are excited about the work we do every day, and thrilled to see others taking notice. It’s been a busy last few months – from announcing our Series B funding, to introducing the new features like Tweet My Trades™ and the Currensee Trader Leaderboard™ – and we still have more surprises and features up our sleeves. The thumbs-up from Lead411 is a huge pat on the back, and we’ll try to not let it go to our heads (we said try).
Want to be friends with the latest “hottest gig in town”? Like us, follow us, watch us and don’t miss a thing from the best thing since sliced bread first Forex trading social network.

Posted by David Karp in Announcement, Currensee, Forex Trading, tags: day trading, holding, John Forman, mike baghdady, scalping, Shaun Downey, swinging, webinar
Tomorrow afternoon we’re putting on a special free show, a Forex panel discussion webinar called Are you a Scalper, a Swinger, or a Holder? with John Forman, Shaun Downey and Mike Baghdady. Please join us as these experts help us explore the different timing approaches to Forex trading . We’ve got some basic questions for the panel, but the main event will be opening up the lines to your questions, live!
 Are you a scalper looking for the rush of that immediate and fleeting opportunity? Do you look for short-term misalignments in price and grab a few pips of profit in positions that frequently last only seconds? Are you a swinger with a more patient strategy to examine patterns over days, or weeks? Or are you a holder, keeping your positions safely stowed away until the broader and more fundamental plays can be made? If you are not any of these, you are probably someone who bets on a good night’s sleep.
Please join our expert panel tomorrow, Tuesday, April 27, at 1:30pm Eastern time:
- Mike Baghdady, SpyGlass Trading: Baghdady is the world’s foremost expert on Price Behavior and a 33-year veteran of the global financial markets, spending the tail-end of his professional career on the NYBOT trading floor until its merger with the InterContinental Exchange.
- Shaun Downey, CQG and Currensee: As Chief Market Analyst at Currensee, Shaun brings his extensive knowledge of both the fundamental and technical Forex arena to provide commentary, insight and trading strategies to the Currensee trader network and the Forex industry at large.
- John Forman, Thomson Reuters: Forman is a Senior Foreign Exchange Analyst for the IFR Markets group of Thomson Reuters and author of The Essentials of Trading. John is a 20+ year veteran of the financial markets. He holds an MBA from the University of Maryland and a BS from the University of Rhode Island, both concentrating in Finance.

 We’re super-excited to announce that specialized financial services investor Vernon & Park Capital has joined our community as the third participant in our B round of financing, bringing our total to $8.8 million in the round. Investment from North Bridge and Egan validated Currensee as a tech startup and a social network, and now Vernon & Park’s involvement really validates us as a financial company. As our CEO, Dave Lemont, put it,
We are excited to have Vernon & Park Capital as an investor. They have an impressive track record and are very experienced with financial market-related investments. Their involvement with Currensee will be important as we plan for growth in the Forex futures and options markets over time. We look forward to harnessing the power of their expertise and extensive network of significant industry partners as we grow the Currensee business.
So please join us in welcoming all the good pips at Vernon & Park to the Currensee community. We’re honored to have them involved and look forward to more social and financial innovation together!

If you’re a Forex trader, chances are you use MT4. We here at Currensee have been amazed at how fast the MetaTrader platform is becoming the prominent automated trading software platform. The developers over at MetaTrader have done a great job building one of the few, open, server-based platforms out there and traders continue to flock to the service.
Here at the ranch, we’ve been cooking-up our Universal Metatrader Bridge™capability to support all Forex brokers who use the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) Trading Platform. What this means is that if you have an account with a Broker who supports MT4 (there are at least 100 of them by our count), you can easily download the Currensee Universal MT4 Bridge software and join Currensee in just minutes. The benefit? You can continue to execute trades as you always would through MT4 and your broker and can measure your performance, share real-time trade data, and collaborate in our trader network in a completely transparent manner.
List of Forex Brokers Supporting MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
We look forward to welcoming all MT4 traders to Currensee, where it’s all about real traders, real trades, real-time.

Today, we officially launched the Currensee Forex trader Rewards Program and Marketplace to the world.
It’s another exciting step for us here at Currensee world headquarters in Boston. We announced our public beta last month and, at the same time, released the rewards program and Marketplace in private beta to members-only. We’ve been testing new features, products and services and gaining valuable feedback from our members and we’re now ready to let all of you Forex traders out there know about this rewarding, members-only program.
First off, we are giving back to our members in the form of Currensee Bucks. Think of it as our way to say “thank you” to our members. You can earn  Bucks by referring friends, creating discussions and polls and participating in the Currensee trader network. You can also earn recurring Bucks by making Currensee your Introducing Broker and receiving Bucks every time you trade. Now that’s a gift that keeps on giving. The great thing about Currensee Bucks is that you can use them right away to purchase a variety of great Forex products and services in the Currensee Marketplace.
Now, let me tell you a bit about the Currensee Marketplace. I’ve heard from traders on a pretty regular basis that they want a trusted source for Forex products and services. They ask me and other members for recommendations on education, training and are looking for reputable people to buy from. We built the Marketplace to meet this need. Think of it as the one place you can go for unique products and services, discounted pricing and, above all, trustworthy experts in the industry who have great products to sell. Even better, you can use your earned Bucks to buy everything from a trading set-ups newsletter to one-on-one coaching.
As a special promotion for our launch, we are offering any traders who join today through November 30, 2009, 30 Bonus Bucks when they join. You can use your Bonus Bucks to buy a variety of products in the Marketplace – our gift to you for joining the Currensee trader network. Tell your friends and get an additional 25 Bucks when they join! Here’s the link to the special promotion: www.currensee.com/bonusbucks.
We’ll be adding a steady stream of new products and services to the Marketplace. Have ideas or suggestions? Would love to hear from you.

Ring the bell…The Currensee trader network is open for all Forex traders to join!
Today, we announced that our Currensee trader network – the first-ever Forex trading social network – is open to the public. For those of you who have been following our journey, you know that we spent eight months in our invitation-only private beta stage. Here in startup land, eight months seems to fly by more like eight weeks, especially when you are building the types of technology and collaboration features that take mere mortals years to build.
As I thought back to where we started, it seems like forever-ago that we invited 25 brave beta testers to try out our new idea for a trader social network. Our founders, Asaf and Avi, had a strong vision – they wanted to build a place where Forex traders could collaborate based on real trades and real data – but it’s hard to cook up a social network with only 25 people. So we started inviting more, a few hand-picked Forex traders at a time. And we started adding features and tuning our performance and analytics. We were lucky to have loyal and vocal members who spoke up when things weren’t working they way they expected or when they had a feature idea or suggestion they wanted to share. The product became more and more robust and more and more traders starting requesting invitations.
The Currensee team kept cranking out new features, programs, promotions, controversial videos and other Forex trader goodies. And, in just eight months, things are very different than they were on that chilly day back in February. We have almost a thousand people trading together. We have an innovative product that combines the fun of a social network with the unique insights of strategies, performance and sentiment data…all based on the trader network. We started with members from two countries and supporting two brokers. In just eight short months, we have members from over 64 countries and support close to 40 brokers.
On behalf of the Currensee team, I want to thank all of our private beta members that joined before there was even a real product. We could not have come this far so quickly without your help and dedication to making Currensee a special place for Forex traders.
Today we leave the invitation-only private beta behind us and throw the doors open to the world. We invite you to join our unique trader network and see for yourself what makes Currensee the place to trade together.
When my friends ask me about what makes Currensee so great, I always talk about the open collaboration we bring to the world of Forex. That we’re changing the game by giving all types of Forex traders the ability to connect with one another, see live trades and positions and share strategies, ideas, victories and their losses. We call it transparency and Trading Together is how we make it happen.

Earlier this month, intrepid Currensee execs took the Forex and Options Expo in Lost Wages Las Vegas by storm. You can read about their adventures – at least the published ones – in our earlier posts. As part of the festivities, the Trade Together Twins, Cory and Kristen, randomly selected the winner of our $1,000 Forex trader sweepstakes under the watchful eyes of NFA regulators.
Congratulation to Esmont J. Rosenthal of Georgia!
Unfortunately, Esmont wasn’t present for the drawing, but he’ll soon have a Forex brokerage account (with one of Currensee’s supported brokers) fatter by $1,000. We know that he’ll make wise use of the Market Watch dashboard and community analytics on Currensee and we wish him great trading success! To see how Esmont’s doing, invite him to trade together with you on Currensee.
