TradeInformer readers will have noticed a lot of ATFX coverage on the site over the last 12 months.
In large part that reflects the huge amount of work the company undertook to grow and expand in 2024.
With a new year now upon us, we thought it would be a good idea to wrap up some of the brokerage group’s key efforts last year, as we look forward to the 12 months ahead.
