Course Overview

Averaging over $5 trillion per day, the foreign exchange (FX) market is where currencies are bought, sold and exchanged. There are many ways to pursue opportunities of the worlds’ largest market, but FX futures offer many advantages over trading spot or over-the-counter FX. Discover the liquidity, nearly 24-hour access and security of trading standardized FX futures on a regulated exchange. Build your knowledge of how FX futures work and why various market participants like large global banks, regional brokers dealers and even small, unregulated boutiques turn to these contracts to navigate the fragmented global FX marketplace.
