TRADE MOST ALL OF THE WORLD'S CURRENCIES:  Cash trading also gives you the ability to trade far more currencies than does the futures market. This is because most all the world's currencies are tradable on the Interbank instead of just the 'handful' offered in the futures market.  (And when you stop to consider that some of the largest price trends occur in currencies that are not available in the futures market, you can see just how much you're missing out on by trading futures alone.)  It should be noted too, that you can trade most any world currency against another (crosses), whereas almost all the futures contracts are currencies that trade against US dollars only.  For example: if you were to put on a general spread going long the Swiss franc and short the Deutsche mark, you would'nt be long the franc against the mark. Instead you'd be betting that the franc would appreciate more against the dollar than the mark would against the dollar.  Not a true cross.  By offering many more currencies to trade as well as an untold number of cross rates, you significantly increase you trading opportunities, not to mention your ability to diversify.   (Currencies and crosses.)
