New feature provides traders a graphical and statistical snapshot of the Forex market

Salt Lake City – Interbank FX (IBFX.com), a worldwide provider of online foreign currency (Forex) trading, today unveiled the most recent addition to the companys notable offering of free online trading tools- IBFX PowerStats .



As one of 13 custom tools in IBFX's ever growing trading arsenal, PowerStats permits traders to learn more about the behavior of a given currency pair and see its average percentage interest point (pip) movement, thus allowing them to set daily goals as well as "stops" and "take profits" on their trades. In currency trading, a pip is the equivalent of a tick or point in the stock market.

"PowerStats allows traders to drill down into the Forex market and see the average pip movement for day-of-week, and then drill down even further to see how much they range by hour of each day," explained IBFX Marketing Director Marilyn McDonald. "It tracks how many consecutive pairs of bullish or bearish bars a currency pair has, as well as the movement and occurrences of those consecutive bars. Essentially, it provides Forex traders the information they need to develop a solid, well thought out trading plan."

PowerStats is divided into two formats:

IBFX PowerStats BASIC is available free of charge to anyone on the IBFX.com Website under the "Trading Tools" tab. It provides basic daily market statistics analyzed over a 6 month period. These measurements provide solid historical benchmarks that characterize the Forex market.

IBFX PowerStats ADVANCED is provided free of charge to all live IBFX account customers, and provides up-to-date daily and intra-day market statistics that are calculated over various sample sizes. These measurements provide meaningful historical benchmarks as well as accurate descriptions of current Forex market conditions.
