IMHO I believe it is still worthing. keep away at major news for a while and trade in regular times.

Hani, yes, interbank spot forex should be in any case more liquid than futures. And this is the main advantage together with the fact it is not necessary to build continuous contracts for doing analysis (a minor aspect, though).
My only further worry is that in a market without an exchange giving official prices and volumes you've always to rely on what your broker tell you. How can you be certain there was really a illiquid situation ?
For instance, your broker applies to your trade a huge slippage. Looking at chart you don't see a particuar volatile market, nor there were important news. Or if there is volatility and illiquidity how can judge if your brokers slippage is proportionated to effective trading envirement ? You remain always with the doubt your broker has gained pips against you. In a regulated market this problem does not exist, I think
In any case I'll continue with forex using precautions you wisely suggest.
