GFT connects traders to Forex prices using SMS 2012
It looks like that Forex traders and mobile phones are getting closer. While the vision of Forex traders actively trading over their mobile phones still seems a few years away it doesn’t stop brokers and news providers from trying to conquer this nascent market. FXCM provides amobile version of its DailyFX news portal, FX360 has a popular iPhone application and even Metatrader provides some kind of a mobile terminal.
GFT announced a partnership with a SMS alerts company to provide real-time SMS alerts to its network of registered traders serving ~120 countries. Traders using GFT’s forex trading platform, DealBook® 360, can opt-in to receive text message alerts to be immediately informed of critical market news, analysis, commentary, changes in markets prices, deal-closure notifications, and order limit status, to help traders make informed decisions when seizing critical up-to-the-minute opportunities in this $4 trillion dollar per day market. GFT has more than 20,000 traders registered worldwide to receive SMS alerts and sends over 50,000 messages per day.

One thing I found extremely peculiar was that in the original press release on the Clickatell’s website when you click the GFT link you are taken to the following location: http://www.gftforex.com/land/?aid=2410&kw=gft%20forex%20trading&type=search&aduse=2740649946&site=&gclid=CIbQu_GVx5wCFRYiagod0lEmKgthis is a standard landing page typically used by Introducing Brokers to track referred traders. I guess it’s becoming increasingly hard to find new introducers…
