Below we describe selected, the most interesting novelties that have appeared in JForex in the last dozen or so days.

Position calculator [Amount calculator]. In the window of new items, next to the volume value, the calculator icon appeared. This simple tool can be extremely helpful, especially for novice traders who are still not very fluent in finding out about all the values ​​and conversion factors related to positions.

The position calculator informs us about the value of 1.0 pips, as well as swaps for long and short positions, for the selected instrument and volume.

Along with the platform update, the broker also introduced a new look of the customer panel - both from the level of a web browser and a mobile application. Users gained greater clarity of displayed information (especially transaction reports) and the ability to personalize the appearance (dark color version available).

It's hard to talk about the revolution for now, because there are too many new functions, but we know from certain sources that these are just coming :-).
