Dear Sir ...sorry i don't really get what you're trying to ask. retail fx quote roughly the same as fx futures. Tatical skill is limited for retail clients in spot market vs. retail clients in future fx ,as most of retail clients in FX spot have not depth of the market level 2 From 13 mln (?) FX spot retail accounts approx . only 1 % belong to companies ,which provide Level 2 Depth of the market for spot FX(IB,hotspotfx) In this case risk/reward win/loss relation & by spot fX biased to advantage of insitutional clients ,which need crowd for distribution .... Correct ? Author will clear how great is % of fx futures reatail accounts and how great is % of retail volime by FX futures and FX spot per day .
Hmmmm, if i'm not wrong u're talking abt "smart money" right? Well, since spot and futures have the same movement/quotes (maybe different by 2-3 pips) I don't see any advantages there.
