Social networking has now come of age in the consumer market, with the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Bebo and LinkedIn all attracting record numbers of members. Heather McLean explores how this maturing technology has now given rise to increasing interest in social networking for retail FX users, with added trading tools, charts, news feeds and forums to maximise the benefits for end users.


Social Networking is suddenly making its presence felt within the retail FX trading community because of a basic human instinct to create groups and tribes, notes Kellie Durazo, principal, professional trader and lead instructor at FX V-room. She comments: "I think there's always been a desire within forex trading for a community, for a place where you can learn trading techniques, share information with fellow traders and learn about what's happening in the industry.
