Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

Your "very well" , could be my "average"


As long as the banks make money from
your orders (your order doens't unbalance
too much the matching in the order book)
you can keep trading.
 
Quote from NickBarings:

Fxsomebody,



How much volume is transacted daily on
Currenex ?

Sorry, we are not releasing volumes to the general public at this time however I can tell you it is significant.
 
Quote from NickBarings:

The question is :"How profitable are those scalpers ?"


Banks have no problems with losing scalpers, you know :D


I know a guy who had to stop trading
with a currenex provider because he
was trading profitable news with only 3 million

Not sure why you keep referring to banks. If you are using a white label provider who also sources liquidity from the generic Currenex platform, then most (80%) transactions are customer to customer transactions.

Currenex as a technology vendor has many customers white labelling its software differently and each set their own rules. It is not fair to generalize "Currenex" in your statements as which Currenex is very meaningful.

Currenex does not know who its customers customers are.
 
Nick, when you say:
I know a guy who had to stop trading with a currenex provider because he was trading profitable news with only 3 million.
Do you mean with a $3 million account or trading $3 million a clip?

During my conversation with fxsomebody, he said that the above rarely happens on CX and that only certain white label providers might do something like that. I can't wait to see that with my real eyes when we start doing something similar to your friend who had to "stop trading" with several CX firms.
 
Danger66,


3 million/clip

the most important factor here is the size


Fxsomebody,



What's the average size of those 80 %
customer to customer transactions ?
 
Quote from NickBarings:

EBS 140 billion
Reuters 60 billion
FXAll 60 billion

Why the need to be so secretive about
that ?

The numbers above are incorrect. Reuters is much higher, FXAll numbers include T/N swaps and the spot volume is only around 6b per day average and overall volume average is much lower. EBS is about correct on average.

Currenex is the 3rd largest platform for spot transactions behind EBS and Reuters.
