In this article, we will explore whether currency pairs and the Forex market are available on the ATAS platform.
The Forex market is not available in ATAS. Futures on currency pairs are from the CME exchange, not Forex.
On the ATAS platform, you can trade futures and stocks listed on exchanges such as MOEX, CME, NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, EUREX, ICE, and others.
The ATAS platform has been initially designed for the analysis of trading volumes that come from the stock exchange. This kind of information is not broadcasted in the OTC Forex market as it is decentralized, i.e. it does not have a central location where transactions are processed.
Trading volume refers to the number of transactions over a specific period.
Many popular trading methods use volume analysis and open interest. However, on the Forex market, real volume information is not broadcasted. Therefore, many Forex traders analyze exchange information from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).
Below is a list of currency futures that correspond to major Forex currency pairs:
6E = EUR/USD Euro
6B = GBP/USD Pound
6J = USD/JPY Yen
6A = AUD/USD Australian Dollar
6C = USD/CAD Canadian Dollar
6N = NZD/USD New Zealand Dollar
6R = USD/RUB Ruble
6S = USD/CHF Swiss Franc
If you are analyzing inverted quotes (USD/CAD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF), you need to consider their inverse proportional relationship with the corresponding futures (6C, 6J, 6S). Simply put, if the price of a currency pair with an inverted quote rises, the price of the corresponding futures falls, and vice versa.
