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).

If you get home late from a concert and can’t get to bed because you’re still wired up from the show, you might find yourself reading economic news. (It could happen) If you’re a currency trader, you’ve probably tried trading different sessions at some point since it’s a 24-hour market. Nothing brings that fact home more clearly than the Market Opens widget from Thomson Reuters.
Fx Traders are usually chart geeks so this kind of visual display is always appealing. I like the brief period of quiet after New York closes and before Sydney opens. I wonder if that will persist after daylight saving time ends?
Where the odd-hours surfing really gets interesting is when you start checking out the Economic Calendar from Econoday. Be careful, this stuff can get addictive. The good people at GFT have a nice printable economic calendar for the whole year, but I’m partial to the constantly-updated online version. Here we can see that the EU announced an unemployment number early this morning Boston time. It was 7.4%, less than the 7.7% forecast. Good to know now, but a lot more important to know at 4 this morning when I’m sure you’re setting up your USD/EUR plan for the day.
In addition, Currensee community members can comment on the items in the Economic Calendar, starting discussion off right from the widget. I’m eager to see what people think about the New Zealand GDP number coming out this evening.
Both of these valuable widgets plus more feeds and news are live on the Research tab of the Currensee dashboard.

No, DPJ isn’t a new currency you don’t know about, it’s the Democratic Party of Japan, which just pushed the Liberal Democratic Party off its 60-year perch. You can read the gory details in the New York Times or your favorite newsfeed in Currensee’s Research Dashboard, but the short form is that the new party is talking about taking Japan’s economy in a different direction.
How is that going to affect the USD/JPY and other currencies trading against the Yen? If I knew that, I wouldn’t have to write this blog, but smart Forex folks like Kathy Lien and Forex Traders at Seeking Alpha are putting their thoughts out there, and discussion is bubbling up on the Currensee Community too.
As I type this and the New York market opens, 9% of the Currensee community is trading USD/JPY with 42% of the money short and winning right now. Another 13% of the community is trading the Yen against other currencies, mostly GBP/JPY and EUR/JPY, and most of that money is winning on the short side too, so the DPJ news looks good for the Yen, at least for now.

Well, the Currensee Community continues to grow. Even though we’re still in beta, about 500 traders have joined our community and are sharing more than 100MM in trades monthly! As we’re gearing up for our launch in October, we’re busy rolling out new features to make your Currensee experience even better.
Linking Multiple Broker Accounts
Many of you have told us that you want to link multiple accounts so you can see a full picture of your trades and positions on Currensee. We listened and, in this release, you can now link multiple accounts easily from your Profile in the Accounts section. We’re now also supporting many new additional brokers such as Admiral Markets, FxPro, IKON, Start Forex and TadawulFX. Click here to see a full list of fully supported brokers.
Market Watch Widget
We’ve heard that you love the Market Watch Widget, but that it’s a bit difficult to understand. We’ve improved this social indicator widget to make it more visually representative of what’s going on in the community right now. You’ll see the Community long/short status bar next to each pair moves to represent the ratio of those who are long and short, and the color shows the win/loss status. Check it out, we think you’ll like it!
Community page
You’ll notice we changed the Community Page, too. As our community of traders has grown, we’ve found that it can take a long time for the whole list to load. Now you’ll see a clearer and more concise view, showing the number of trades and size of each trader’s team. This will help you pick out new traders to connect with and grow your own teams.
Feedback Widget
Do you have feedback for us? We want to hear it. You’ll notice an new, orange icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the Currensee platform. Simply click on it from any page and share your site feedback with us. Good, bad, or simply suggestions, we want to hear what you have to say.
That’s all for now. Please continue to tell us what you want to see in the Currensee community and we’ll keep you posted as we move toward launching this Fall.
Happy Trading!
The Currensee Team

Well I guess the Currensee marketing department is up to their old tricks again. Naughty must be in their genes. I took the team to task on our last, shall we say, “provocative” ending for our video Currensee.com: Forex Trading and asked the team to develop an ending that was more in line with the serious financial research and analysis bent of our Currensee community. Please let me know if you think we got this one right. http://www.currensee.com/itsabeautifulthing/
