Though unambiguously outperforming all other financial markets in terms of liquidity, foreign exchange trading is still performed in opaque and decentralized markets. In particular, the two-tier market structure consisting of a customer segment and an interdealer segment to which only market...

This paper empirically investigates the Evans and Lyons' [2002. Understanding order flow. International Journal of Finance and Economics 11: 3-23] model of the foreign exchange market from a dealer's perspective. We provide evidence of the suggested information aggregation process using a rich...
