I'm completely new to forex, and have been trying to figure out what is better to trade....the cash or the futures? While the cash market is unregulated, the futures are protected by an exchange, which is really nice, and the price you get from some so called non dealing desk brokers and dealing desk brokers isn't really the "price" that the big banks are getting, but futures contracts are just that....whether 1 or 100k contracts, it's the same price.
Is there a big difference in trading the futures for currency rather than the cash forex?

Hi there,
I'm completely new to forex, and have been trying to figure out what is better to trade....the cash or the futures? While the cash market is unregulated, the futures are protected by an exchange, which is really nice, and the price you get from some so called non dealing desk brokers and dealing desk brokers isn't really the "price" that the big banks are getting, but futures contracts are just that....whether 1 or 100k contracts, it's the same price.
Is there a big difference in trading the futures for currency rather than the cash forex?
Thanks!!
