Trading exotic currency pairs? Are there firms which provide this ability?

November 2nd, 2003, 4:55 pm

Most firms only offer 19, at most, currency pairs. I want to be able to pick and choose the currency pairs I desire from nearly every currency around the world. For example, I may wish to enter into a trade to buy Argentine Pesos and then with my newly bought pesos to buy the British Pound.If anyone can help me find a firm which offers such exotic currency pair trading I will greatly appreciate it. Your general comments will also be appreciated.Thanks!

Some of us may think that our responses were deleted.

How professional is Olsen's Oanda really? Do serious FX traders use it? For example, they charge no commish, but the spread on the USD/AUD is about 3 pips on the average (goes between 2 and 4). Is that good enough?
