Saxo Bank Launches Ground-breaking New Portal Combining Social Features with its Award-winning Trading Platform

HELLERUP, Denmark, Jan. 23 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --
A new online social trading community for serious investors,
TradingFloor.com, was revealed in beta today by Saxo Bank in Copenhagen. The
new portal enables traders around the world to share their trades with peers
and transforms trading into a social experience.
Saxo Bank's co-founders and co-CEOs Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen
said in a joint statement:
"We want to set free the peer-to-peer power of traders around the globe by
enabling them to connect online with experienced and like-minded investors who
are tired of input from salespeople from traditional banks."
On the new site, live now at beta.tradingfloor.com, investors can share
their trades in a community where all performance data is verified so traders
can be sure of the performance of the people they choose to follow or copy.
Saxo Bank, the Denmark-based online trading specialist, is the first major
player in the financial world to move into multi-asset online social trading.
Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen believe it may be a game changer:
"Having revolutionised online trading as a first mover in 1998, we now want
to democratise access to trading and fund management by opening up the
otherwise closed world of trading. We are now enabling investors to share their
trades openly, interact with each other, post comments and strategies, discuss
ideas, follow and copy each other. We believe that this may radically change
how investors will go about trading FX, CFDs, options, futures, bonds and
equities in the future, making trading a social experience.
"At the new TradingFloor.com, you can see what the best participating
traders are doing with their own money in any asset class of your choice. We
are deliberately only featuring real traders with real accounts trading their
own money to ensure a social trading community of serious investors," Kim
Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen added.
The new TradingFloor.com also features a range of valuable content for
traders, such as market news and views, data, insights and trade ideas from
Saxo Bank's research teams and VIP authors. A real-time trade stream will
reveal the current market sentiment. Britain's award-winning ITV News
correspondent Angus Walker has joined Saxo and will, along with former
Bloomberg and BBC World anchor Owen Thomas, front the portal's on-demand TV
channel by reporting from Saxo Bank's own trading floor.
