The New, Improved TradingMarkets!
The New TradingMarkets!
As I mentioned last week, we’ve been very hard at work on some significant site
improvements. New, expanded commentary–including a large Forex contingent, more
daytrading and swing trading commentaries, a lot more news, additional
indicators–and much more–all beginning on Monday morning.
Eddie Kwong
is taking the helm as TM Editor-in-Chief. He, TradingMarkets CEO Larry Connors
and Webmaster Conrad Kalil have been hard at it for months, and the unveiling is
finally upon us. It’s the new, improved TradingMarkets. Stay tuned–I
think you’ll really like it.
