inTerBank markeT For THe Big Boys The greatest share of forex trading takes place in the interbank market in the form of currency swaps, forwards, and other sophisticated trans- actions. The interbank market is a global over-the-counter network that includes, as its name suggests, the world’s largest banks as its backbone along with other large financial institutions and corporations that have to be members of the network to participate. There is no centralized marketplace in the interbank market, no standardized contracts, and no central regulator. Transactions are conducted between parties over the phone or electronically. Based on a call-around tradition, deals may involve billions of dollars as price, delivery, and other terms are negotiated, sometimes on behalf of cus- tomers but often for banks or institutions as they speculate on the price movement of currencies. However, unless you are a corporate treasurer, a global money man- ager, or someone in a similar position, the interbank market is prob- ably not something with which you will be involved. This is a complex market reserved for sophisticated, professional, and nimble traders. There are, however, places where traders have easy access to the same type of forex trading that the big boys have in the interbank market. CasH Forex Trading One of the fastest growing segments of trading in recent years has been in cash forex as dozens of new firms have sprouted up, taking advan- tage of online trading and less restrictive regulations. Controversy still t r a d e s e c r e t s 16 surrounds the regulation of cash forex firms, and the National Futures Association and Commodity Futures Trading Commission have shut down a number of firms that they perceived to be “bucket shops” or perpetrators of fraud. In fact, sometimes the biggest risk in cash forex trading is not the mar- ket risk from changing currency values but counter-party risk—that is, the risk that the cash forex firm will not perform its obligations and will deal unfairly with customers. Because traders’ accounts depend on the creditworthiness and integrity of the cash forex firm with which they are dealing, evaluating a firm carefully is one of the first essential steps for the cash forex trader. Nevertheless, cash forex trading offers a number of advantages pro- vided traders are working with a reputable dealer and understand the risks of high leverage available at some of these firms.
