Foreign exchange trading is generally conducted in a decentralized manner,
with the exceptions of currency futures and options. Foreign exchange has
experienced spectacular growth in volume ever since currencies were allowed to
float freely against each other. While the daily turnover in 1977 was U.S. $5
billion, it increased to U.S. $600 billion in 1987, reached the U.S. $1 trillion mark
in September 1992, and stabilized at around $1,5 trillion by the year 2000.
For foreign exchange, currency volatility is a prime factor in the growth
of volume. In fact, volatility is a sine qua non condition for trading. The only
instruments that may be profitable under conditions of low volatility are
currency options.
