Salt Lake City, November 17, 2009 — Interbank FX (www.interbankfx.com), a worldwide provider of online off-exchange retail foreign currency (Forex/FX) trading, returns as the Cyber Cafe Sponsor in the seventh annual Traders Expo Las Vegas, showcasing a brand new Facebook APP featuring Micro Mini Challenge Winners.
Available through the Interbank FX Facebook page, this new application will facilitate Micro Mini Challenge participants to connect with Interbank FX and their fellow traders through Facebook—allowing winners to tag and share their photos and winning certificates.
Using historically compressed data, Interbank FX's Micro Mini Challenge allows four traders to compete for 10 minutes against one another beginning with $10,000 in equity. The trader with the highest equity wins, walking away with a brand new Bose headset.
"Our Micro Mini Challenge is a fun way for traders to engage in friendly competition," said Marilyn McDonald, Vice President of Customer Experience at Interbank FX. "We at Interbank see the growing trend for traders to incorporate social media into their trading strategies, and we're excited to facilitate a social connection between our Micro Mini Challenge participants and our Facebook page."
