Funny quotes with IB TWS for EurexUS ...

EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CAD, USD/CHF futures.

Only USD/JPY future looks "normal".

I have no problem with CME FX quotes.

But EurexUS FX data feed looks like a "beta test".

Really? Can you explain it in a little more detail. Thanks.
 
Eurex FX futures use the standard over-the-counter spot quoting conventions for each dollar pair. The CME always quotes in currency per dollar, which is sometimes backward. This is why they created e-quivalents to try to avoid some of the confusion.

Also, apparently Reuters and CQG are not displaying Eurex FX quotes properly. Bloomberg, on the other hand, IS displaying them correctly.
