	Foreign exchange market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Exchange-traded forex futures contracts were introduced in 1972 at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and are actively traded relative to most other futures contracts.
		Futures: Foreign currency futures are forward transactions with standard contract sizes and maturity dates — for example, 500,000 British pounds for next November at an agreed rate.
		Each pair of currencies thus constitutes an individual product and is traditionally noted XXX/YYY, where YYY is the ISO 4217 international three-letter code of the currency into which the price of one unit of XXX is expressed.

	Understanding the language of Foreign Currency Trading
		Non-floating-rate currencies are controlled strictly by their respective governments and therefore are not as accessible for trade or as efficient in their pricing.
		Currency futures prices are very similar to forward prices except that futures contracts are standardized in size, quote mechanism, and settlement dates, and they are executed on a regulated exchange by open outcry.
		Futures exchanges have created elaborate systems to calculate margins, taking into account the historical volatility of a currency and the total value of the standardized futures contract.

		With currency futures, the price is determined when the contract is signed and the currency pair is exchanged on the delivery date, which is usually some time in the distant future.

		At the same time, the CFMA modernized the regulation of U.S. futures exchanges, replacing a one-size-fits-all approach to regulation with an approach that recognizes that the regulatory regime necessary and appropriate to achieve the objectives of the CEA depends on the nature of the underlying assets traded and the capabilities of market participants.
