    What venue do people use to trade FX options that has the lowest bid/ask spread. Everything I find seems to have hug spreads.

    Thanks

    Here's a general approach to beat these pigs:
    If possible split your order into 2, send the second when the maths tells you to do so, ie. average your entry... :D

    Trade exchange traded FX options. Globex has them. Globex also has great fills, the spreads look wide but they often fill you at midpoint.
     
  4. You can't fill complex orders (as such) on CME. I would look to the ETFs.

    That's great to know they will fill inside the market. I envisioned computers that would wait until you paid the whole spread.

    Which etfs do you look at? All the ones I checked had huge spreads.

    Thanks
