Quoting SoyYoConBoneteDislikedI don't think this is true. If by "hedgers" we are talking about people involved in importing/exporting who are looking to reduce their exchange risk, then it's impossible for them to account for 80% of the market, simply because daily world trade is nowhere near 1.5 trillion dollars...
...So probably 90% of the market is made of speculators. Maybe it's the famous 90% that lose money ?Ignored
forex is a hedgers market for sure. i just scoured a few of my books to find where i know this from. cant find it right now. anybody know a resource that gives a breakdown of forex volume?
Relax and be happy.
