Quick Forex Tip: Interbank fx trading determines pricing in all levels of currency markets. Spreads available to interbank traders are sharp and unavailable to outsiders. Interbank traders who can guarantee a large number of transactions for large amounts can demand a smaller spread between the bid and ask price. Unfortunately these same spreads are not available to the average investor making relatively small transactions. Thus, for the average investor to participate in interbank fx trading, s/he must do so through the use of a broker.
