Blackcap,

www.nzcurrencyconcepts.co.nz gives you quite a lot of info on what they are doing and some historic performance outcomes. I know the trader there, but haven't followed their fortunes for quite some time.

It is certainly not a scam, I can vouch for that.

[AMR]

Look what I saw in the paper today.

I have just noticed that ABM-Amro are using Oanda charting, but in addition to currencies they also offer commodites, bonds, and idices. Interesting.

I found these reviews which seem positive, but not sure at the moment if NZ citizens can trade.
