"For this reason, most of our active traders have been demanding for an invaluable site like ours, so that they can have access to appropriate trading resources and tools that they need in taking risks as well as for their trading success, regardless of what the market is doing," added Mr. Pine.

As demonstrated by the result of our survey, our business model was successfully worked well even in a short period of time. Expectantly, this entirely positive outlook among our active traders, who generally more willing to take the risks even in a fundamentally bear market is the result of what we have been able to provide them," said Frank Pine.
