Top 5 Sites For Forex Rates
by Yohay, Forexcrunch.com
The bid and ask rates that you’ll eventually pay will be the forex rates that your broker will charge you. In lots of cases, especially when there’s a big news event, the exchange rates will significantly differ.
Different forex brokers will use different forex exchange rates. So, it’s always wise to compare with independent providers. Here are my top 5 sites to see forex exchange rates:
Netdania: This financial software veteran provides fast streaming quotes for a huge variety of forex pairs. Apart from showing independent quotes, the site offers many study tools in different languages in Java technology. The site has gained a great reputation over the years. Visit Netdania.
Forex Factory Market: The independent forex portal has developed a proprietary system for aggregating quotes for popular pairs from brokers in real time. You can see a static or real time version of the quotes, broken down by brokers or aggregated, to get unbiased real quotes. Visit Forex Factory Market.
FXstreet: Also this independent portal chose an aggregated solution. Interactive Data provides real time forex exchange rates for a large selection of currency pairs using many interbank liquidity providers. Visit FXStreet Currency Rates.
Yahoo Finance: One of the world’s most popular financial portals also has a sophisticated currency center with reliable quotes, charts and lots of tools. Visit Yahoo Finance.
XE: This site provides a forex currency converter for virtually every currency in the world, including currencies that are obsolete. Although it isn’t designed specifically for forex trading, the independent and accurate data is highly regarded. Visit XE.

Hi everyone
Tired of answering the same question over and over to friends and family: “Francesc, I’m going on vacations to New York/Tokio/Sidney…. - you name it -…, what should I do? do I change now or should I wait?
Getting tired of having to heard friends and family about the wrong advise you gave them and that they lost so much for having listened to you… tired of all this, Setxi, Miriam and I - the three partners of FXstreet.com - decided to go for a project that was not core business for us at all but it was core for our good relationships with friends and family 
And the result is here with the launching of the beta version of our new Currency Converter
Check it out!
When2Convert.com goal is to help users to get the best exchange rate possible. To accomplish such goal, the site allows users to set a limit date for when he would like to convert, and when2convert will send him updates when it detects significant trends or changes in the exchange rate desired.
The site also allows to set up desired exchange rates and receive alerts when the rate is reaching your goal.
When2Convert.com business model is to drive customers to FXstreet.com Global Transfers Service.
FXstreet.com Global Transfers is a service of FXstreet.com in partnership with OzForex, a subsidiary ofMacquarie Bank Limited, one of Australia’s leading financial organizations.

Hi everyone
OANDA has just relaunched its website.
As soon as I was notified I visited it and I must recognize that the first impression was more than satisfactory. These guys know how to do things right. They are the kings of usability.
Also, a two thumbs up for the new look and feel of their blog MarketPulseFX
Here are some of the biggest changes:
· OANDA Rates® are the de facto standard used by leading institutions, including the ‘big four’ auditing firms, and the site relaunch features a redesigned currency converter and easier access to OANDA’s breadth of currency tools.
· New iPhone Converter is the only currency converter with a percentage adjuster to better approximate the actual rate charged by banks or credit card companies
· OANDA provides a variety of currency analysis tools for travelers, businesses and website publishers and the newly designed index pages make these tools much easier to find
· Real-time bid/ask rates are updated every 5 minutes for the major currency pairs and are accessible directly from the home page
· Real-time market analysis, the latest news and analysis are available from OANDA’s currency analysts who consistently rank #1 in Google News listings, and are regularly quoted by Bloomberg
