I am sure for everybody, it is important to realize that in the Currency trading Market, there are many standards and ordinances. And some of them may differ another totally. Even so, this is the only market that running twenty four hours daily, 5 days weekly and most of the days in a year (sorry, I am too lazy to count how many days…) Thanks to that, many elements affect foreign exchange rate and many different forex strategies are needed to earn income.

So, does it matters how much those huge banks trade in the forex market?

Yes it does. The currency trading market is split into several grades of access. At the acme, 50% to 54% of all transactions in Forex market, are given to commercial banks and securities dealers. They possessed the best spread in the market. The reason why they are given this privilege is because they are trading extremely huge amounts of transactions, and each transaction can be a huge sum too.

Commercial companies and centrals banks enjoyed the next best privileges.

Commercial companies has a lasting impact in the long run compared to a short term effect. They may trade daily, but the amount is smaller compared to commercial banks and securities dealers. Even so, they still can impact the market. We should be also mindful of big commercial companies.

Central banks, they possess an advantage others doesn’t have. They have good flow of currency, thanks to their main role, it is extremely rare and hard for them to go bankrupt in the short term. Even so, they don’t trade as often as most currency traders. Their objective in trading is assure that money supply and Fx market is stable.

So, to answer the question “how much do the banks trade?”, if the daily trading volume is USD$4 trillion. Then Commercial banks and securities dealers are trading almost USD$2 trillion daily. With such good bid/ask spread, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they earning millions of dollars from Forex monthly.
