Which are the biggest foreign exchange liquidity pools and which are the platforms that support them?
Asked by: forexsheet 179 views
Let’s say for example i run a large fund that specializes in trading the foreign exchange market. Let’s also say that i like taking very large positions in each trade.
That’s an example above, just an example, and based on the above example i would really like some answers to the following questions.
1. Can i take advantage of many foreign exchange liquidity pools and platforms in order to open huge positions?
2. Which are the largest liquidity pools, and which platforms support them?
3. Is it possible to open positions of 1 billion dollars using multiple liquidity pools, without affecting the price too much (10 pips is ok)?
4. I have heard of many large banks using their own platforms (such for example autobahn FX for Deutsche Bank and BARX for Barclays Capital), what i want to know is if these platforms are using the same liquidity pool as EBS and Thomson Reuters?
As a conclusion i want to know which platforms use the largest liquidity pools, but just state 1 platform for each liquidity pool, not many regarding the same liquidity pool. For example are autobahn FX, BARX, EBS, Reuters 3000 Xtra, Currenex, FXall, Hotspot FX, all use the same liquidity pools, please try to make a list of platforms that use different foreign exchange liquidity pools.
