Dislikedthere are so many reasons for people to trade in forex - the least of which and the bottom of the pile are the speculators like you and I who just ride the coat tails of the real market movers to make money.Ignored
Disliked90+% of activity in forex is speculative and by speculators - be it the small people or large banks even scalping just the same. From watching market movements around trend lines, round numbers and other stuff I see no reason not to believe this statistic either. I'm sure Rolls Royce hedging funds affects the markets too but somehow your description doesn't seem to fully agree with that of others or the charts.Ignored

DislikedPiitb,
You clearly haven't read all my posts here in this thread, so I'll make my example heard again using a direct quote from your thread featured below.
What is it that you were afraid of? If the forex market is not random, there is no need to worry, everything will behave as expected.
Our disagreement lies, as mentioned before, in the definition of random. You cannot deny that there is a random unexpected element that is omnipresent in trading. I keep asking for your perfect account statement and your quote above depicts someone who is far from perfect.
You saying that the market is not random, but just has variables is another mistake on your part because there are such things as random variables. Why do you think you contemplated suicide? Losing? Why do we lose? Unexpected occurrences. Randomness.
We can agree to disagree, or you can keep up the small personal attacks. (This is my 'big finish') Asking one if he's serious in a serious discussion makes one think he's wasting his time talking to others.Ignored
