No Liquidity in today's Forex's Markets

[drsteph]

Hey, for the interbank market these days?

1) what's a market amount (if you called citi's euro desk and asked in the NY hours) People doing 100 bucks at a time these days?


2) what's the spread on that amount?

embarrasing question for me, but what they hey, I wanna know.

Quote from Lon Eagle:

There has been normal liquidity today.

Indeed I have to say throughout all the volatility of the past couple of months I am staggered at how tight spreads have been for decent size.

Liquidity is vast compared to even five years ago.

After reading some of your posts, it seems you trade on institutional platforms. I always wondered, when people talk about liquidity in FX, how much is deemed "plenty" or "vast" liquidity on such platforms (in terms of size at best bid/offer)? What was it like 5 years ago?
