eman,
As internet trading grows the percent increase monthly will decrease even though the trade number is increasing so look at the trades rather than the percent. If one month the basis is 100,000 and the next 150,000 it's a 50% gain but the following month an additional 50,000 is no longer a 50% gain. It would take 75,000 to make 50%.
Tremendous growth can occur but the percent can't keep up.
