What is the difference between a value date, settlement date, and delivery date in Spot Forex?
JPY091009-123 entry

Explain in barney style because I've been searching the internet for explanations. It seems to be like they are all the same thing that happens 2 days after an order is closed.


yeah, right. looks like the same to me. this site defines "delivery date" as the date of maturity of the contract, when the final settlement of transaction is made by exchanging the currencies. this date is more commonly known as the "value date". on the other hand, "settlement date" means the business day specified for delivery of the currencies bought and sold under a forex contract. if you want to learn more terms, click the tab "Learn" then click on "Forex Glossary". all the best.

Where can I find the best data/estimates for spot forex volume?
CHF021009-1-2-3b entry & exit - loss

I'm sure we've all seen the estimates/data that so many billion (think it may have been one trillion, actually) go through London every day, and approximately 30% of that is on the EUR/USD during those times. Where can I find the most accurate (or most likely to be) and most comprehensive figures on these (hopefully several currencies averages by hour frames would be ideal). Thanks for your help!


There is no centralized interbank market for FX so if you wanted volume, you would have to ask your particular broker. First, I have never seen a broker provide this information and secondly, even if they did provide them, it would only pertain to the traders who used this particular broker. The FX market is decentralized and therefore, these volume figures aren't indicative of the crowd.

Over 90% of currency trades are "Over-the-counter" (i.e. trading parties deal direct with each other) and not exchanged-based. Since there is no central exchange that tracks such trades, providing volume is impossible. A possible proxy for spot forex volume is the currency futures, which are traded on an exchange.<----**

There is a way to get an idea of the volume by...looking at futures contracts. There is an interesting article that shows how you can use the commitments of traders reports on the CFTC.gov website to attempt to forecast the movements of the market.

and also spread betting and is there a site where it tells you everything in detail?


A CFD is a contract between a buyer and a seller, which establishes that the seller will pay the buyer the difference between the current and the future value of a product, at an established date. In case of a negative difference, the buyer pays the seller the aforementioned difference. The CFD trails a certain index, stock or commodity without purchasing them and the profit is made by the previously mentioned differences. The online trading of CFDs within Finexo.com advanced trading platform offers you a high leverage with a relatively small margin, giving you the possibility of fine profits in a short period of time.

The purchase or sale of a foreign currency or commodity for immediate delivery. Spot trades are settled "on the spot", as opposed to at a set date in the future. Futures transactions that expire in the current month are also considered spot trades.

Also known as "cash trades".

Ban the Burqa

I'm timely to dedicate all punctilious festivities Duvali - Yom Kipur or Ramadan. As for Christmas well I look front to it every year. Otherwise you have hunger devilish winter nights with not much to look speed up to. Also, families and friends that don't normally get to see each other have an time to assail loved ones and relatives. As for France, they were one of the countries who took Turkey to the court of sympathetic rights for denying their citizens the straighten up to unpractised their faiths when they banned bizarre supreme scarfes in supervision buildings and universities.
