    Only USD/JPY future looks "normal".

    I have no problem with CME FX quotes.

    But EurexUS FX data feed looks like a "beta test".

    USD/JPY futures via TWS ( 2:12 pm ET ) ...
     
  10. Eurex FX futures use the standard over-the-counter spot quoting conventions for each dollar pair. The CME always quotes in currency per dollar, which is sometimes backward. This is why they created e-quivalents to try to avoid some of the confusion.

    Also, apparently Reuters and CQG are not displaying Eurex FX quotes properly. Bloomberg, on the other hand, IS displaying them correctly.
