Notes: Hotspot daily, monthly, and quarterly volumes are posted on: http://hotspotfx.com/products/hotspot_volumes.jsp Hotspot volumes represent the notional value in U.S. dollars of all trades executed on the platform, counting one side of the transaction. All comparative volume data has been normalized to account for different counting methodologies. Average Daily Volume (ADV) reported by each platform may not be based on the same number of trading days for a given month due to observed national or bank holidays unique to a given platform. Hotspot counts each day that the platform is open as a valid trading day. *Market Share represents Hotspot volume divided by the total volume of publicly reporting spot FX venues (Hotspot, EBS/ICAP, & Reuters/FXall).
