Dublin-listed financial spread betting company World Spreads says August was the busiest trading month in its history.
In a trading update for the six months to the end of September, the company said higher levels of volatility in financial markets boosted its customer numbers and trading volumes.
WorldSpreads said it expected revenues for the period to be "comfortably ahead" of the same period last year.
It said it had continued its international expansion during the period and was now seeing positive returns from the investment it has made in these markets.
WorldSpreads plans to launch a new mobile trading platform and a CFD (contracts for difference) platform before the end of 2011.
