"While active accounts remained stable in the period, trading activity in July was impacted by quieter market conditions, with GVIX³ as a measure of market volatility reducing 18% month over month," said Glenn Stevens, Chief Executive Officer.

^{3 GVIX, GAIN's volatility indicator, is a metric calculated daily by volume weighting the 5-Day % average true ranges (ATR) of 6 of our major products (Dax, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, Dow and Gold). The volume weights are based on the relative monthly volumes across these 6 markets.}
