TradingFloor.com has generated and continue to generate high performing, active users. They want to be empowered to seize every opportunity that arises in the market place, and learn from their peers rather than paid professionals. Since commercial launch in April the number of unique users has grown rapidly and the growth ratio is expected to continue as we activate further the new language versions in German, French, Russian, Greek, Turkish, Spanish and Latin Spanish.”
