Why should I choose CFGSmartCharts™ over other charting services?

Data feed is updated every 6 seconds with a data supply from an average of over 350 banks. Why is this good? Because the data supply from approximately two to 20 banks, offered by the average charting service, will not provide a true picture of what is really going on in the market. Also, the CFG methodology will not work accurately with other charting services. Learning to trade profitably, as well as developing a string of trades without losses, requires having the right tools from the beginning.

The currency values between CFG's charts and the broker's dealing station is different. Why?

CFGSmartCharts™ use the Premier Data Feed Service from S&P Comstock, which is directly connected to the Interbank Currency Exchange. FXCM and other brokers use delayed data from a very few banks in order to save money.

Brokers use the specialized banks that are members of a small community that respond to fundamental announcements on an immediate basis. The remainder of the world's banks are left behind in these situations. A careful analysis of our chart data quite often allows us to already be in trades in the correct direction prior to these major moves.

Brokers occasionally harvest the weak investor's money when a 'Stop' value too close to the current value. You can observe that 'spikes' always hurt, and almost never help you in a trade. Brokers manipulate the current rate to their clients when they are in a high-risk position on their own trades, thus resulting in an unexpected spike that closes the clients’ position. These moves are not always reported to the Interbank Currency Exchange and, therefore, don't always appear on our charts.

On 'Trending' days the CFG chart is perfectly positioned to consistently perform ahead of the Trading Station.

On 'Trading' days the CFG chart is properly positioned when a trade is entered subject to the conditions of the proper signals.

When the Trading Station and the CFGSmartCharts™with CFGSmartSignals™ don't agree, it is still safe for the trader if the trades are entered in accordance with the 'River Trading' signals, which include an appropriate 'Stop Loss' position. When 'River Trading' rules are followed there is almost always sufficient room for the trader to move the 'Stop Loss' level into the world's money.
