Furthermore, the average daily retail OTC trading volume during November 2017 came in at $9.4 billion, up 6.8 percent month-on-month from $8.8 billion in the prior month, but this increase was coupled with a 19.7 percent drop year-on-year from $11.7 billion in the year ago.

The metrics of active retail OTC accounts were flat, numbering 131,825 as of November 30, 2017, inching slightly down by a factor of 1.3 percent relative to a month ago, and up by 2.7 percent relative to October 2017.

In terms of its institutional metrics, ECN average daily institutional volume at GTX came in at $12.2 billion during November 2017, reflective of an advance of 7 percent from $11.4 billion in October 2017. Across a yearly timeframe, November 2017 showed a more substantial jump of 18.4 percent year-over-year from $10.3 billion in November 2016.

Finally, GAIN’s futures average daily contracts were reported at 27,730 during November 2017, up 16.3 percent month-on-month from 23,847 contracts set back in October 2017. This figure was offset by a 15.8 percent year-over-year drop.
