Where can I find daily volume for major and minor FX pairs?

[Rossini]

I can’t remember where I read it, but I can remember there being a website that gives daily trading volume estimates for the 47 major pairs? Can anyone help?

Which pair? I'll give you a figure that will be just as reliable.

 

[Rossini]

Lol wasp, I just wanted to compare some of the majors to some of the more exotic pairs...

 

[wasp]

You just cant get the figures though I'm afraid. No way of doing it. Only on the futures. If there is such a site I'd be curious to see where they get their stats from.

Ask Gammajammer about it, he loves FX volume discussions!

 

[Rossini]

ok thanks, I will do that.

I dont have an account that does futures, only spots, do you know where I can find the futures Volume?

 

[wasp]

Not sure....

Gammajammer, or Rhody trader are your best bets. Don't trade the futures myself.

 

[MrGecko]

The futures volume can be found on the CME's website (CME Group) ??

But I don't think they are really a good proxy for volume in the spot market.

GJ has chanted many times before that there is just no way of possibily aggregating spot volume, aside from the fact that many institutions dont want anyone to know what they are doing. its not even worth trying to guesstimate or use substitutes like TAP because it will not be indicative. He said theres no way to find out, so not worth wasting time trying. good enough for me 🙂
