As for cross rates, remember, you can trade most any world currency against another in the Interbank, whereas almost all futures contracts trade agianst the U.S. dollar only. Below are some examples.
BRITISH POUND AGAINST THE DEUTSCHE MARK
Here we have the British pound against the Deutsche mark on the Interbank. This is a true cross because it's the pound against the mark, and not the pound vs. the U.S. dollar against the mark vs. the U.S. dollar.
MEXICAN PESO AGAINST THE CANADIAN DOLLAR
In this example we have the Mexican peso against the Canadian dollar on the Interbank. Again, we have Mexico against Canada, and not Mexico vs. the U.S. against Canada vs. the U.S.
HONG KONG DOLLAR AGAINST THE JAPANESE YEN
Here's one you'll never see in the futures. The cash Hong Kong dollar against the cash Japanese yen. Big moves and big opportunities for those who know about them and can trade them. The exciting thing about the Interbank crosses is that it opens up a whole new set of opportunities for the trader and the investor that is just not available in the futures market.
Remember, not only does the Interbank provide true crosses, but also the ability to trade most all of the world's currencies. And some of the moves are spectacular. (It's no wonder the top currency traders choose the Interbank for their marketplace.)
KOREAN WON
FINNISH MARKKA
MALAYSIAN RINGGIT
IRISH PUNT
SINGAPORE DOLLAR
THAI BAHT
The above charts show some spectacular moves. And they are all exclusive to the Interbank market!
