OANDA Hits Trading Volume and New Client Milestones

LONDON, October 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

OANDA, a global provider of forex and CFD trading services, reports that it has closed the books on September with a record-breaking month in both trading volume and new client accounts since it launched the award-winning fxTrade platform in 2001. Further, October is poised to exceed those volumes achieved in September as the first day of the month saw a record-breaking single day of trading volume, only to be broken on October 2nd and again on October 3rd.  

"Traders have been waiting for volatility to return to the forex market, and September didn't disappoint, as we saw record trading volume across the industry last month. Several factors contributed to that volatility including geopolitical events like the Scottish referendum and soft Chinese economic growth data that's a concern to investors," said Dean Popplewell, Vice President of Currency Analysis and Research, OANDA Corporation. "As major central bank monetary policies diverge more opportunities to trade will become prevalent. Investors will continue to keep a watchful eye on the Federal Reserve for any sign of an impending interest rate hike."

Based on OANDA's fxTrends data, the top traded currency pairs in September amongst OANDA's European clients were the EUR/USD (39%), the DE30/EUR (11%) and the GBP/USD (8%).

"We're excited that volatility is returning to the forex market. The third quarter ended with the highest trading volume OANDA has ever seen, and the fourth quarter is off to a promising start following the strong nonfarm payrolls numbers that were released this month," said Ed Eger, President and CEO, OANDA Corporation. "I'm most thrilled about the record-breaking new client registrations our company has seen in the third quarter: we hit a new milestone in our company's history. It shows that our reputation as a broker with superior execution, competitive spreads, award-winning technology and customer service is getting out there!  And with some of the highest client profitability in the industry we're extremely bullish on our future."
