Online Foreign Exchange Trading: Let the Games Begin Report Published by Celent

Internet-based trading of currencies currently only accounts for about 5% of total. However, Celent forecasts strong growth in this area.

In a new report entitled Online Foreign Exchange: Let the Games Begin, Celent Communications provides a comprehensive overview of the online foreign exchange market and profiles several of the top electronic FX trading systems, including:

Atriax FX Alliance FX Connect Currenex Matchbook FX EBS Reuters 2000

Major advances in technology, especially in online trading platforms, are not only helping to ease foreign exchange trading, but also allowing access to the market in ways never available before. Although online equity trading has grown significantly in the last three years, Internet-based foreign exchange trading has been far slow to develop. With turnover of approximately $1.5 trillion daily, foreign exchange is by far the largest, most liquid market in the world. Major foreign exchange players are becoming aware that not only can they improve trading services for clients with Internet-based systems, they can also save significant time and money in transactional efficiency gains.

According to Fritz McCormick of Celent, The changes taking place in the foreign exchange market and advances in Internet-based marketplace technologies have converged to create a new breed of foreign exchange trading. This new phase will forever change the foreign exchange market and will eventually lead to a truly transparent, liquid market. However, this transformation will not take place overnight. We expect it will be at least four years before even half of FX trading moves to the Internet

The report includes a comprehensive overview of the current state of the foreign exchange market, including a discussion about market structure and a list of the major players involved. Additionally, each of the main foreign exchange online platforms is profiled and closely evaluated to help determine potential winners and losers in this burgeoning market. A Table of Contents is available online.
