  • The Forex Market Structure: Who Are The Key Actors?

    From insights.globalprime.com

    The Global Prime Team was recently asked by a new member of our Discord room if we could recommend how to learn more about institutional influence on the Forex market. Forex is a market like no other: In this article I am adding my grain of sand by answering the question in general terms. After all, that’s the only practical response in what’s by far the largest asset category in the world. Forex transacts trillions per day. In fact, the latest BIS Triennial Survey shows that global foreign exchange trading increased to more than $6 trillion per day. So, generally speaking, at the core of the FX market is a ...

Of course the article added value to my knowledge of the forex market structure.

Thanks Ivan.
Retail, retail, always termed as dumb money. Never knows whats is going on and always contribute to the noise. Gets excited about money and always on the back foot. Thinks that the big banks are always on to them. I recently incorporated COT report to my trading to see and test how it really works. Trading is a tough business those impulse and corrections need to be understood. Hopefully and really hope that one day the true synchronization to the markets will happen. Retail should know that no one is after them but they should always stop providing liquidity and partake in riding those moves. Patience and laser focus concentration is a must have skill.
some good jems inside the article worth knowing
A common assumption is that all players are 100% speculators. If that were true, there would be no way to profit. There has to be traders who come looking for utility from the markets.

Not much different than a supermarket where everyone goes to play arbitrage....no one wants to actually consume anything they buy. It doesn't work over time.

Good point mate. But I would just remark that - yes all players are more or less speculators. What prevents me from categorizing all players as speculators is the definition of a speculator itself. A speculator can be a private person or institutional trade whose aim is to move the market in the direction he/she/they want. In order to do that one need naturally access to money - a lot of money. This is why not everyone can call himself a speculator.

But yes I understand your point. We all are speculators in the sense that we persuade profit. The dark side of it is that we cannot move the market and take profit when we want. We have to follow the real speculators.

    Financial Stability Review April 2021

    Financial systems globally have been resilient to a substantial shock Financial systems in Australia and internationally have been resilient to the enormous COVID-19 health and economic shock. This has enabled them to cushion the economic impact of the pandemic, supporting the recovery through new lending and measures such as loan repayment deferrals. The financial sector reforms that followed the global financial crisis greatly contributed to this positive outcome. Banks hold substantially more high-quality liquid assets and have much higher levels of capital than a decade ago. Substantial policy support from governments, central banks and other regulators has also underpinned the resilience of the financial system over the past year. Fiscal support has sustained economic activity and improved the finances of borrowers, and so loan performance, and central banks have eased monetary policy and maintained market liquidity in key debt markets.
