CMS Forex has introduced three new modifications to our trading terms. The fixed spreads on twelve of our currency pairs have been reduced, including the popular EUR/USD and USD/JPY pairs, which are now just 2 pips, one of the lowest fixed spreads in the industry. Fixed spreads remain constant even under volatile market conditions, providing consistent and predictable transaction costs for traders. We’ve also instituted a policy where trades up to one standard lot are automatically executed. In addition, new exotic currencies were introduced, presenting clients with the opportunity to trade in emerging markets. Three new currencies have joined CMS Forex’s growing list, the South African Rand (ZAR), the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), and the Singapore Dollar (SGD). The new pairs offered are ZAR/JPY, USD/ZAR, AUD/NZD, USD/HKD, GBP/AUD, and USD/SGD, allowing more options for account diversification. CMS Forex continues to offer competitive fixed spreads, coupled with quality execution.

CMS Forex has recently launched its new Chart Pattern Recognition technology, which has been fully integrated in VT Trader. This technology automatically identifies chart patterns during their emerging and break-out phases. Some of the identifiable patterns displayed include head and shoulders, ascending and descending triangles, double and triple tops and wedges. Each pattern is presented with analysis of initial trend, uniformity, and clarity, and when applicable the breakout strength. Traders can opt to view selective patterns. For added ease in detection, traders receive alerts in real time when patterns match their set criteria. This new addition to VT Trader provides clients with greater chart functionality, saving both time and energy with charting analysis and trading.

Today CMS Forex launches its first television campaign in association with Global Advertising Strategies. Produced in cooperation with Persona Films, the 60- and 30-second spots depict the forex market as a rough-and-tumble competition in a gladiator-like arena that premiers on CNBC and Bloomberg Television. CMS Forex became one of the first in its industry to target private investors through advertising on broadcast media in the U.S.

Recent headlines about the dollar’s fluctuation and volatility continue to surge, and retail forex trading has been growing in popularity. Until now, short of infomercials, many currency trading companies have not actively advertised on such leading financial networks as CNBC and Bloomberg Television.

Global Advertising Strategies has been the agency of record for CMS Forex since 2003, and is excited about this evolution in the go-to-market strategy. “The campaign provokes interest among the forex newcomers as well as continues to strengthen the CMS Forex brand among established institutional investors,” said Givi Topchishvili, Global’s President and CEO.

Global’s previous advertising campaigns for CMS Forex focused on a heavy online component targeted toward forex-related searches and websites, as well as the leading trade print publications. According to Vera Hawkin, CMS Forex’s Founder and President, “the higher profile campaign is a result of the company’s growth and development, as well as the industry’s interest in currency trading.”

Why is it useful? BPS is very economical – saving you more time and money. In most cases, transferring your funds via BPS will move your money for less than the cost of a traditional wire transfer.

Funds will clear within 1-2 business days.
