CitiFX's Forex Survey

Hi everybody, last day I saw that CitiFX Pro has launched an online survey designed to provide information the Forex traders. You can find it here:

http://www.fxstreet.com/about/survey

Results will be published starting October 2010. It would be great to know if they will release a full variable cross study in order to get conclusions such as it's high leverage related to huge losess. Or is there any preference for banks or brokers to trade Forex. I guess results will be very interesting to learn more about us

What do you think guys?

Also why Forex Factory is not participating in this survey? I'm sure there are more active users here than at FXstreet or Action Forex.

Regards,
Will Turner

So ... what would be the point of filling out this survey?
What are we traders getting out of this?

Thanks for the link but it's a pointless survey in my opinion!

The survey questions themselves are limited (it looks more like a marketing survey to me), the reply choices are limited, the sample isn't going to be broad enough, and last but not least it's relying on people to take it seriously and answer honestly!

Like Jhig said, what's the point......

I don't think we need a survey to tell us that...


Incidentally if anyone is interested there are surveys canvasing real FX dealers in various countries (links below from US, UK, Germany) which should be far more informative than the noise that online survey will produce, given that any Tom Dick and Harry can fill it out...

Assuming that those FX dealers are not run by any Tom Dick and Harry...

Me too. You know they really should shorten the list of countries of where a trader is from so traders from US won't have to scroll forever to reach the bottom of the list to pick "United States". Honestly, how many traders are from Benin?

Francesc comments on his blog that 1,075 traders have answered the survey. I'm sure there will be interesting results.

Thanks for alerting us of the results.

I found this the most interesting. I always assumed, for no particular reason, the US had the most fx traders, but the poll suggests I could be wrong.
