MFN is another forex broker website where it was difficult for me to find detailed information about the company, trade specifications, even the trading platform itself. Certainly I could have downloaded the platform to try it, but you would think that at least some screenshots of the platform and features would be included on the company site. In fact, they do have a page which is supposedly dedicated to platform information, but in fact there is no information on the page. There are so many forex brokers out there to choose from, why would you trade with a company that cannot manage to post detailed and transparent information about itself, its products and services?
