I don't know which country you trade from. One of the tax benefits in the states is futures are a 1256 contract. So you get 60% as a long term gain and 40 as a short term. Forex spot is straight up personal income and not investment income. I have one question say a trader decides to buy 1million eur/usd what is the proper equivalent for that in the futures market. 10 Eur contracts? Likewise for gbp/usd? I ask because if you trade spot in preset lots how do you adjust to get similar trade sizes in the futures?
