ladies and gentlemen its fine to disagree but please have your discussion without name calling, think I'll stay out of this one
But it sounds like you're all right just through different interpretations of what you're actually talking about - that being ZERO SUM
IMO - To Sell you need a buyer or vice versa. Trading at its heart, IS zero sum because you cant have a seller in a market until someone has bought. You cant have a loser without a winner, weather that be your broker or another trader.
But as the other posters like Trade runner and Chikcy pointed out its not quite that simple cause there are other factors involved
