What better way to start the summer than coming to work in Boston’s North End for a hot startup? The greenway is a perfect place for lunch and “sight-seeing”, al fresco dining can be had all over the neighborhood, and you can do some really cool work as part of the Currensee team.
Our 30-person company started back in 2008 with a handful of dollars and some good ideas. Fast-forward to today and we’re growing our team of stellar employees. If you don’t know much about who we are, we’re a well-funded, high-energy startup that combines financial services and software development to provide a unique alternative investment service for our clients. Our mission has always been to create trust and transparency in the world of foreign exchange and our $30M in assets under management in just over a year and a half proves it.
Since then, we have steadily grown to a 30+ person company that operates in the heart of Boston’s beautiful North End. The people that currently keep us moving forward, known as the Currensee “Pips,” are truly the ones who make being here everyday an absolute pleasure. This group of innovative and hard working professionals comprised of engineers, sales people, product developers, marketers and many more have all contributed to building Currensee into what it is today.
The best part about our company is our ability to strike a perfect balance between corporate and casual. The professionalism within our spacious building is channeled into running and developing the business, while the general milieu of the environment remains relatively laid back. In one conference room, you’ll find all necessary technology for a fully functioning webinar or international conference call, while in another, you’ll see a couple of plush beanbag chairs available for anyone’s relaxation pleasure. And if you ever do find yourself hungry, (which is highly unlikely given the densely populated scene of Italian cuisine and bevy of food trucks right in our backyard) you will be pleased to find a fully stocked, in-house kitchen.
Though our positions are constantly changing, a few that we are currently looking to fill are: Channel Marketing Manager, PT Web Designer/Developer, VP of Engineering, Web Developer, and Integration Tester. So, if immersing yourself each day in an environment that is both challenging and fulfilling where you are always learning is something that intrigues you, please send your resume to hotjobs@currensee.com. Hope to meet you!

To the week of August 8th, we bid you adieu and good riddance. It’s been a little hectic around Currensee World Headquarters. In fact, a few times certain people even got a little nutty under the stress. We’ve been working around the clock, and there’s some big (huge!) new developments coming soon to Currensee. We can’t pull the curtain just yet, but stay tuned. Exciting times are a’coming!
In the meantime, here’s some of our favorites bits of news and commentary from the Forex front:
- There’s been a whole lot of steam surrounding Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act. While some are fuming it’s Obama’s personal crusade against Forex (look no further than Exhibit A and Exhibit B), others say it’s much to do about nothing. How are you sleeping at night, or not, traders?
- There so many to-do’s and no-no’s in Forex, it’s hard to keep track. Forget your brokerage account for two seconds and get back to basics: your good ol’ checking account. We recently read about what motivates financial decisions, and a couple of words stood out: survival, stability, fun. Don’t the same rules apply in the Forex game?
- To all you aspiring “Wall Street ballers”, you don’t want what you think you want. Raghee asks all the big questions: What do you want from your trading? What are you prepared to do to achieve this? Do you have the risk tolerance (or stomach) to really pursue it?
- Speaking of having a stomach for Forex, it was a recurring theme this week to talk about a condition we’ll name “Forexitis”. Disturbing dreams of being beaten by red candlesticks? Irritated eyes, or just generally irritable? Forex and hypochondria is never a good combination. Is Forex really that bad? Heck, we survive every day. Kind of.
- Casey Stubbs WANTS YOU (yes, you) to take his “follow the Forex rules” challenge for 10 days. Join in on the “Forex diet”, and then tell us if you came out a better trader or cracked under the pressure.

- A couple of tidbits from DailyForex, the first one on treating your Forex trading plan as a business (because it is). The second is really a no-brainer – trade what you see, not what you want to see. Two solid, if not pretty obvious, pieces of advice. So why do so many traders fall short in these departments?
-
Boston has an “Innovation District” (no surprise there), and it’s not in the North End? (Gasp!) I mean, Fort Point is a cool neighborhood (they have a pretty cool view of the Boston Tea Party ship), but we’re the Italian district of Boston! No competition. Hey Fort Point, we bet #NorthEnd can become a trending topic on Twitter faster than #FortPoint any day. #ChallengeAccepted!
