Hi everyone

FXstreet Network of sites recovered the 9M level in October after loosing it in September, but remained pretty far from levels seen the previous year, specially in our biggest web site the FXstreet.com in English.

On the positive front, the network of sites recovered ground from September (+6%) that was a surprisingly bad month. In here, I must highlight the outstanding performance of the Indonesian web site (+17%) once again. Also, worth to highlight the growth of the Mobile Touch site (+20%) with over 720k page views already.

Comparing traffic data for FXstreet.com English site vs. same period last year,  the results are not as terrible as they were in September - with a fall of -17% in visits, -21% in unique visitors and -20% in page views-, but are still negative numbers with a fall of  -4% in visits, -13% in unique visitors and -5% in page views

Here, the good news came again in the time on site side, as the site grew from an average time on site of 7:27 to 8:07 (+9%), so it seems that in times of lower volumes and volatility, traders take more time on updating themselves about the latest goings in the market or in education. That it is not a bad choice indeed.
