MG Financial, founded in 1992, is one of the oldest and most recognizable names in retail foreign exchange industry. MG's strength and focus are in providing online trading services for the foreign exchange market. MG Financial accepts customer orders via the Internet as well as over the phone.
In April of 1997, MG Financial released the first version of its online
trading platform. This trading platform enabled traders to view real-time quotations, execute transactions, and track open positions. Since the trading platform’s introduction, important features such as real-time
charting have been added.
DealStation™, which went live on January 30th 2000, has revolutionized forex-trading platforms by offering traders the latest Java “Push” Technology, which immediately “pushes” new information to your computer, automatically updating your screens. The implementation of Java technology enhances overall system performance, which will improve speed and execution time. Since then MG has also added
Desktop and HTML versions of the DealStation™.
