                            tion.  There are also no transactional errors, since the  Web site automatically
                            matches and stores the financial and settlement details for each party to a foreign
                            exchange transaction. Also, most sites give traders access to research, analytical
                            tools, and current news reports. Further, some sites offer customization of the
                            interface, so that one can see only specific fields, create templates for repetitive
                            trades, and modify standard reports. It is even possible to use instant messaging
                            between both parties to a transaction! In short, there is a wide array of advantages
                            to these excellent sites that make them a clear improvement over other methods
                            for completing foreign exchange transactions.
