An Irish firm has unveiled a new online trading service aimed at both private and corporate investors.

The service, from Irish broking firm Renaissance Financial Markets (RFM), provides investors with trading functions and timely investment data on international financial markets including equities, indices and commodities.

"Up until now, we have provided advisory and traditional dealing services. We believe this online service is a natural extension to this offering," said RFM managing director Paul McCourt. "Our web trading service provides the user with direct access to many exchanges, which in turn allows investors to trade using live market prices with real time execution."

The website also has a trader network forum incorporated into the site, allowing investors toshare knowledge, strategies and forecasts.
