GO Markets (www.gomarketsaus.com), an Australian-based Forex trading broker, has won the Best Forex Broker in Australia.

This year, a total of 30 retail FX broker firms were honored from a pool of 140 brokers nominated by 6,400 traders in 82 countries through 6 different languages. The IBTimes Trading Awards offer the most comprehensive quantitative and qualitative annual award available in the fast growing retail Forex Market.

The survey is conducted over 6 months from September 2010 and March 2011. All voting is carried out electronically via a secure, dedicated data collection website.

IBTimes Trading Awards falls into two major sections, one that recognizes brokers by quantitative measures (or relative market shares) and one by qualitative rankings (or client satisfaction) at the continent and country level.

Sonny Kwon, co-organizer of the Awards says: "GO Markets achieved the top score in the Customer Service category across all the brokers, demonstrating an excellent client-oriented focus. Traders have spoken and GO Markets is now recognized as the best broker in Australia."

"We are very proud to receive this award especially following on from last year's FX Trader's Choice Award for Best Forex Broker. It does not come as a surprise that we rated so highly in the customer service category as we have always had a focus on this aspect of the business," stated Paul Hill, Managing Director of GO Markets. "This along with our educational offerings, trading tools and the best Forex spreads possible this has helped put us at the top of the business"

About IBTimes Trading Awards

The 2011 IBTimes Trading Awards identifies the best financial service providers globally. The awards recognize excellence in the quality of the services they offer to traders and investors.

From 2010, readers of The International Business Times have been invited to vote on a range of attributes of the providers they use. The winners in each category are selected based on the votes and a judging panel of industry experts and independent research groups.

The IBTimes Trading Awards builds on the successes of last year's Awards, the 2010 FX Traders' Choice Awards. They were awarded based on the votes of IBTimes' readers collated by Forex DataSource, a Forex market research firm. The goal of the FX Traders' Choice Awards was to empower traders with reliable information and help them select reputable brokers, as traders decided the winners.

This year, The 2011 IBTimes Trading Awards continues to give public recognition to those brokers and financial service providers while increasing the scope of the awards to cover all major asset classes including Funds, ETFs, Stocks, Futures and Options. The awards also reflect The International Business Times' global identity and include votes on financial service providers from around the world that provide services in multiple languages.
