Thanks for the link..

in the early '90s I had spent ~2 years working with FX systems (after I had completed my graduate work in Int'l Econ). FX is a very fascinating market, it's 24/7 - it never sleeps! One day volume of FX trading is about 3 months at the NY stock exchanges!

Yes FX is an interesting market to work in. From the software viewpoint, FX applications need to perform well under load, with high transaction throughput, while UI's should offer minimal clicks to execute a deal

Also, moving global trading and risk mgt books across gloabl trading centres over different (and overlapping) periods of the day is where a lot of ther functional complexity lies for these real-time systems.
