| well for average joe, there is a rule in place according to which you need to inform the bank a few days/weeks earlier that you want to do a large transaction on x date.once informed the bank will arrange the amount for you from different sources. __________________ Size does matter; Even in Forex Trading

It is so ridiculously small I always get funny goose bumps when I say it. How about say no more than the liquidity in the wheat futures market? Not much heh ): How about that for a reality check (: | Nov 17, 2012 10:51am (13 hr ago) | | The $3.98 trillion break-down is as follows: $1.490 trillion in spot transactions
$475 billion in outright forwards
$1.765 trillion in foreign exchange swaps
$43 billion currency swaps
$207 billion in options and other products Not that small

| Quote: so on x date my money will crash the forex market with sudden move ? we can see it on our chart ? | the move is not sudden as you already informed the bank in advance that you need euros.the bank will start buying euros (gradually) everyday from other banks.if the demand temporarily exceeds supply you'll end up paying more $ for each euro.(bad for you) the ecb will then print more euros /cut rates etc to bring the euro down back to the normal level (bad for you gain) in the end you'll loose a few billion $.A crash is impossible imo __________________ Size does matter; Even in Forex Trading

so the move is not sudden but over days ? so that means even though i bought it on x date the agreed rate is not on x date but rates over days ? | Nov 17, 2012 2:28pm (10 hr ago) | | Quote: The $3.98 trillion break-down is as follows: $1.490 trillion in spot transactions $475 billion in outright forwards $1.765 trillion in foreign exchange swaps $43 billion currency swaps $207 billion in options and other products Not that small |
And then retail traders, not just retail, take up about 2% of this. You have to take into account the retail broker, which facilitates the retail traders trade. If you had 8 trillion dollars, you'd be beyond the richest man in history, or trillionaires, quadrillionaires, quintrillionaires would probably exist. (But yes, if you were to suddenly dump 8 tril into the markets today, shit would get fucked up. Though, I doubt any broker would allow that, since they would be one of the top banks in the world.) | Nov 17, 2012 2:55pm (9 hr ago) | | Quote: And then retail traders, not just retail, take up about 2% of this.

| Quote: so the move is not sudden but over days ? so that means even though i bought it on x date the agreed rate is not on x date but rates over days ? | the "agreed" rate could be higher or lower than the spot rate.if you sign a Forward contract with a bank to buy x amount of euro at a certain agreed rate,on some future date then you are obligated to buy at that price. __________________ Size does matter; Even in Forex Trading
