Foreign exchange spot trading is buying one currency with a different currency for immediate delivery, rather than for future delivery.
The standard settlement timeframe for Foreign Exchange Spot trades is T+2 days; i.e., 2 days from the date of trade execution. A notable exception is the USD/CAD currency pair which settles T+1.
