Perhaps without any real justification. I mean so what everytime you post you don't get two people who probably aren't going to read your blog.

Gemäß dem "Wall Street Journal Europa" (Februar 2006) werden 73 % der Summe forex Volumen durch 10 Banken getan. Diese Banken sind die Markennamen, die wir alle so, einschließlich Deutscher Bank, UBS, Citigroup und HSBC wissen. Jede Bank wird verschieden strukturiert, aber die meisten Banken werden eine getrennte Gruppe als die Devisenverkäufe und Handelsabteilung kennen lassen. Diese Gruppe ist dafür verantwortlich, Preise für die Kunden der Bank zu machen und um diese Gefahr mit anderen Banken auszugleichen. Innerhalb der Devisengruppe gibt es Verkäufe und einen Handelsschreibtisch. Der Verkaufsschreibtisch ist dafür allgemein verantwortlich, die Ordnungen vom Kunden zu nehmen, ein Zitat aus dem Punkt-Händler bekommend und das Zitat dem Kunden weitergebend, zu sehen, ob sie sich darauf befassen wollen. Dieser drei -Schritte Prozess ist weil ziemlich allgemein, wenn auch der On-Line-Devisenhandel, viele der großen Kunden verfügbar ist, die sich irgendwo von 10 Millionen $ bis 100 Millionen $ auf einmal (Bargeld auf dem Bargeld) befassen, glauben, dass sie sich erholen können bewertend, über das Telefon verteilend, als über die Handelsplattform. Das ist, weil die meisten durch Banken angebotenen Plattformen eine Handelsgröße-Grenze haben werden, weil der Händler sicherstellen will, dass es im Stande ist, die Gefahr auszugleichen.

Auf einem Devisenpunkt Handelsschreibtisch gibt es allgemein einen oder zwei für jedes Währungspaar verantwortliche Marktschöpfer. D. h. für den EUR/USD gibt es nur einen primären Händler, der Notierungen auf der Währung geben wird. Er oder sie kann einen sekundären Händler haben, der Notierungen auf einer kleineren Transaktionsgröße gibt. Diese Einstellung ist für die vier majors größtenteils wahr, wo die Händler viel Tätigkeit sehen. Für die Warenwährungen kann es einen Händler verantwortlich für alle drei Warenwährungen oder, abhängig davon geben, wie viel Volumen die Bank sieht, kann es zwei Händler geben. Das ist wichtig, weil die Bank sicherstellen will, dass jeder Händler seine Währung gut weiß und das Benehmen der anderen Spieler auf dem Markt versteht. Gewöhnlich ist der australische Dollarhändler auch für den Dollar von Neuseeland verantwortlich und es gibt häufig einen getrennten Händler, der Notierungen für den kanadischen Dollar macht. Es gibt gewöhnlich nicht einen "Kreuz"-Händler - der primäre für die flüssigere Währung verantwortliche Händler wird das Zitat machen. Zum Beispiel, wird der Händler des Japanischen Yens Notierungen auf allen Yen-Kreuzen machen. Schließlich gibt es einen zusätzlichen Händler, der für die exotischen Währungen wie der mexikanische Peso und der Südafrikaner Rand verantwortlich ist. Diese Einstellung wird gewöhnlich über drei Handelszentren - London, New York und Tokyo nachgeahmt. Jedes Zentrum passiert die Kundenordnungen und Positionen zu einem anderen Handelszentrum am Ende des Tages, um sicherzustellen, dass Kundenordnungen 24 Stunden pro Tag beobachtet werden. (Um fortzusetzen, über Währungskreuze zu lesen, sieh Machen Das Währungskreuz Ihren Chef und Trending und Reihe-bestimmte Währungen Identifizierend.)

Wie bestimmen Banken den Preis?
Bankhändler werden ihre Preise beruhend auf eine Vielfalt von Faktoren einschließlich, der gegenwärtigen Marktrate bestimmen, wie viel Volumen am Tagespreis-Niveau, ihre Ansichten darauf verfügbar ist, wo das Währungspaar angeführt wird und ihre Warenbestand-Positionen. Wenn sie denken, dass der Euro höher angeführt wird, können sie bereit sein, eine mehr konkurrenzfähige Rate für Kunden anzubieten, die Euro verkaufen wollen, weil sie glauben, dass, sobald ihnen die Euro gegeben wird, sie auf sie für einige Kerne halten und zu einem besseren Preis ausgleichen können. Auf der B-Seite, wenn sie denken, dass der Euro tiefer angeführt wird und gibt der Kunde ihnen Euro, sie können einen niedrigeren Preis anbieten, weil sie nicht sicher sind, wenn sie den Euro zurück an den Markt an demselben Niveau verkaufen können, an dem es ihnen gegeben wurde. Das ist etwas, was Marktschöpfern einzigartig ist, die eine befestigte Ausbreitung nicht anbieten.

Wie gleicht eine Bank Gefahr aus?
Ähnlich dem Weg sehen wir Preise auf einer Plattform eines elektronischen forex Maklers, es gibt zwei primäre Plattformen, die Zwischenbankhändler verwenden: einer wird durch das Geschäft von Reuters angeboten, und der andere wird durch den Elektronischen Maklergebühr-Dienst (EBS) angeboten. Der Zwischenbankmarkt ist ein kreditgenehmigtes System, in dem Bankhandel allein auf die Kreditbeziehungen stützte, die sie miteinander gegründet haben. Alle Banken können die besten zurzeit verfügbaren Marktraten sehen; jedoch muss jede Bank eine spezifische Kreditbeziehung mit einer anderen Bank haben, um an den Raten zu handeln, die angeboten werden. Je größer die Banken, desto mehr Kreditbeziehungen sie haben können und die bessere Preiskalkulation, werden sie Zugang fähig sein. Derselbe ist für Kunden wie Einzelhandel forex Makler wahr. Je größer der Einzelhandel forex Makler in Bezug auf die verfügbare Hauptstadt, desto die günstigere Preiskalkulation davon vom Zwischenbankmarkt kommen kann. Wenn ein Kunde oder sogar eine Bank klein ist, wird es darauf eingeschränkt, sich mit nur einer ausgesuchten Zahl von größeren Banken zu befassen, und neigt dazu, die weniger günstige Preiskalkulation zu bekommen.
