Are you sure you've got the right answer? :)

1. No. Euro-FX futures (and others) on CME GLOBEX stop trading for an hour every day, 4 - 5pm CT.

2. Unlike spot forex, there should not be any discrepancies among currency futures prices from different sources. There is only one exchange price, bid / ask, at any given time.
 
get your quotes from Rueters or Bloomberg. the forex bucket shops can't help you -- UNLESS you can find an arbitrage one against the other, and I'll bet you could.

Lawless is a big word. Think of it like shopping for a car. You go to various dealers. If you're not on your game, you get fleeced. You have to know what a good price is and what you're willing to deal at. Be a big boy.

The futures trade Sunday 6:00 PM Eastern to Friday at 5:00 PM Eastern time, so it isn't a 7 day market.

And as was stated, the futures take a 1 hour break between 5:00 PM Eastern and 6:00 PM Eastern - the "open".

The only exchange that currently lists currency futures to my knowledge is the CME (though EUREX is talking about it):
