Quote from ogarbitrage:
I am not Swiss, but thanks for suggesting my expertise.
The only spot market worth anything is a front month futures contract in the US.
Sorry, nobody is perfect.
I thought a futures contract and a spot market are too different things. Futures contract will expire someday, but spot market not, like stocks. FX forwards are like Futures, Options are like futures, they all expire.
But FX Spot not, and Bullions Spot, like XAU against the major currencies, also not. Well it must not be a CFD, its just offered to trade, like the FX Spot, but what else is a FX Spot theoretically as a CFD, if you dont trade the real FX market, you also do not trade the real Gold Spot market.
So for the little guy the only way to trade the real market is to trade the futures on the CME.
To trade the real OTC market for FX and Bullions, you must have institutional like access and for that you need a lot of money, and doing privat banking or running a own trading company.
There is no other way.
I love swiss chocolate.
