Many traders have recently left the currency futures trading for currency spot market. The main reason is that the spot market has higher liquidity and lower operational expenses. Banks and traders may execute their operations on the market all around the clock. Moreover the market is stock tax and NFA tax free that promises higher commissions for traders. That’s exactly why many trading companies and financial institutions do the currency exchange on the interbank currency spot market, but not on the futures makret.
Spot forex market trading systems are very similar to the ones of currency futures. The most important difference is another currency quotation principle. Currency futures are always traded opposed to the USD rates. On spot forex some of the currencies are quoted the same way and some are quoted as USD opposed to this currency.
