i can find only this numbers (not 100% correct): on EURO FX options there are on 06122009 traded volume about 10.000 BUT there are about 300 different options!! so the highest traded oprions have a volume of about 1000 but the most have 30 contracts and many have zero.. so thats not Volume in my view... sory
Have you checked out Saxobank? They offer customizable vanilla OTC options and say they'll be adding exotics pretty soon (they may have them running by now.) I think that totally beats the ISE ones. If you're not familiar with this type of option, there's no substitute but to download the demo and play around with it.
You are a moron. The CAD on CME does around 50 - 100 Mill/day notional. When I was an interbank fx options broker at ICAP, the largest dealer, even on Euro we might do a Bill on a busy day. What kind of liquidity does Moarla need? Has Moarla ever traded a single option before? Furthermore, the market makers are required to make prices and as you can see they are generally fair and showing 50-100 a side. There is unlimited liquidity in CME options. Think about who is making the prices for a minute. Moarla, you are probably better off with Oanda's box options at any rate....
When the market gets volatile how will they quote you? You taking prices from your counterparty... The CME you have access to all the player banks in the market, thus you will get the fairest prices in all conditions. Liquidity is extremely deep and virtually unlimited... Not that any day trader would ever need to buy in the quantities that are available..
hmmm.-.-. market makers are ok, but look at the spread they offer.... compared to warrants just funny
for FX futures options, only the EUR and JPY are OK, for cash FX options, EUR and JPY are OK, rest of them are barely acceptable. Try XDE for EUR cash.
