So, when you're all pressed to cop and drop a forex trade, like where tho are these trades going down?
Lil recap: remember how y'all ain't exactly playing in the “real” FX market arena?
So, like WHAT is the play here? What's the vibe when you smash "Buy" or "Sell" on the platform? 🤔
Here's the tea we’re spilling today, gang.
To know where your trades ghost, we gotta first peep the forex sitch and how retail bros (that's y’all) mix into the FX jam.
The FX street is wild and messy, but we gon’ TL;DR it for ya.
Sooo, imagine the FX market like a chonk lake.
It's like even bigger than an ocean, y’all!
The thiccest lake eva.
This mad big lake is our beloved “FX market”.
This fat lake ain't dry.
It's got boats galore!
Boats comin’ in all shapes and sizes, you feel?
Each boat’s a market peep vibin' on the lake.
Envision emoceanic numbers of 'em floatin’ about.
Crew on deck bein': banks, non-bank financer bois, MNCs, mega market wizards, algo warriors like HFTs, e-market hustlers, hedge whizzes, and big-ballers.
Some be supersized. Others, not so lit.
Those major yachts, mate, be the big-baller banks — naming names: Barclays, Citi, Deutsche Bank, all the squad. Their yachts flex wealth and power, no cap.
Folks in big yakkos might be tradin' straight-up. We call that “bilateral swag”. Like DM-style penny for your stock dealin’.
When those leviathans go bilat, only the main chars get the tea on quotes and stash stack, everyone else’s in the dark.
The price quotes stay secret AF, means it's lowkey hard to vibe check if what ya paid was bare or boujee.
But the lake’s not only a boat-jam zone. We’re talking islands!
These lil zones serve as trading venues for FX homies.
With eletronic dub-ups in the FX hood, trading arenas went cray. Known player tiers: interdealer (IDP), single-dealer (SDP), multi-dealer (MDP). The bunch like ECNs, APIs, blowing up the scene make things hazy, ngl.
Usually, these venues are a chill spot where currencies do the dance.
Play here and gotta keep the island rules sharp.
The island steers the market jam, hushing up trades or revealing nada 'bout who’s who.
Swipe if a lad’s keen on 10m USD/JPY for 110.00, seller echoes that vibe, it’s a done deal. Total stealth.
The gig isn’t one single island jam. Prices per vibe, there be tons of diff tunes everywhere.
Pulling off a lil “island hop”: one place goes 110.00 for USDJPY, somewhere out yonder’s hitting 110.01.
Every FX Key varies per spot by liquidity or tunes allday.
Trading’s goin’ down all over town, but no single ‘FX Mega Market’ sundae.
Freal, the real ‘FX’ chop-shop is this mad-virtual gig.
Islands have clout levels.
Ranking indicates action tranking on the island.
Diff peeps chill on diff islands.
The flex factor stacks the ranks, only chosen ones go supreme.
Case: some boats ball so hard they got their own vibes, no imbibe outsiders — sorry not sorry boats gotta bounce.
SDPs = boujee islands run by daddy boats. Like the Deutsche gig Autobahn, Citilink Flex thing from Citi, that kinda jam.
Other ballin' kas ride their custom cruise anyway, players club innit.
Okay, so check this: the giga islands be hosting only the mega yakkos.
Peeps in these massive ships are swole call dealers.
So right here is the big gigapas entre supa traders.
This game's the mad “interdealer market”.
“Inter” got that “between the homies” energy.
Interdealer a.k.a infamous “interbank grind” ‘cause big dogs serving up global cash.
The GG banks, daytime: “bulge bracket” - ya’ll ever heard the real mystique.
IC swaps pockets call “IDPs”: secret sauce, Entforest & Ref Match dominate the lands, tho.
This apex market banger encases dealer-on-dealer favors, not embarrassing for an end client lobbyist like you real bois out/material!
Throwback zone bossy boots whirling dank wealth deals.
Today, med-sized rowers foot onto all club bubbles with a slap of woolworth boat courses.
