All in all, Forex Crunch continued advancing in 2012, enjoying growth in all parameters apart from a small slide in time on site. 2012 was a very interesting year, but market volatility certainly slowed, and the regulation environment in some countries was less favorable than beforehand.
For reference, here are the numbers for November 2012 and for December 2011 (including full 2011 figures).
I hope that 2013 will see stronger growth in all fields. I wish everybody a happy and successful 2013.
