Abstract
We examine a recent high-frequency spot EUR-USD foreign exchange transaction data from an electronic foreign exchange market. Our framework is based on a continuous time sequential microstructure trade model which measures the market maker's beliefs directly. We present evidence of the strategic arrival of informed traders on a particular day-of-week, time-of-day and geographic location (market).
