Since the FX market is OTC, there is no "center" orderbook or whatever I should call it. What we have is FXCMs orderbook, OANDAs orderbook etc. which wont help at all because no big banks or big indivduals trade their order thru these small retail brokers.

Now, the second thing is that...

There is a central aggregation service that provides a live global order book view for integration into any platform. We've used the data for scalping/arbitrage and liquidity analysis.

Yes there are ways to locate on a chart full orderbook depth in graphical format. Quite nice to use!!!
