The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent.

Do we really care, this sounds like a rookie question? Unless your going to have your funds managed by an institution why does that matter?
It would be foolishness not to care. It is wise to have understanding, and this is part of it.

Why would you not care what the market movers do and operate?

1+1=2 (You know this as a basic instinct)

The market makers have data constantly streaming to their computers. This data includes order positions of retail traders from almost all brokers.
For example:
If %80 of retail traders are long on EUR/USD...

you know how market makers play this. They short the EUR/USD. They have the big bucks so it is not hard for them to move the market.

DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING ELSE SAID ELSEWHERE. THIS IS WHAT IS GOING ON in at least FOREX MARKET.

I think, traders should focus on their own learning process instead of others activities; statistic doesn’t help.

appreciate the message you have, i emphasis always for learning , but i can say you will get noting after having great learning process if you don't have regular practice on trading, so, always focus on practice besides learning.

I disagree here. The easiest way to make money in the forex market is to identify what the market makers are doing, and trade in their direction

You probably mean it. Brokers traders, right? who knows how they trade. just know that they see all the customers' orders.
