Any Consequence for having too many successful traders?

If you trade Forex through a market maker, you really are not trading in an open market, you are taking a position against the MM. Regardless of how the MM manages their risk your trade has really no effect on the other traders. Having said that, if the profitability ratio (95%-5%) were to change drastically you may find the MM either moves to an ECN model or closes its doors.

Hypothetically; in a real market such as futures or and ECN its alot more diffucult to say what the impact would be. The reason is that of that 5% who are profitable, some are very profitable and some are barely profitable. Profitable traders will always compete with each other for what cash is available no matter how much that is. The best of the best will always make the most and the worst of the best may find, if the ratio changes, that they are not profitable anymore.

BUT, and its a big BUT, human nature does not change. Fear and greed are basic components of our psychological make-up. It can take years to deal with those issues and years more to aquire discipline. That's why its pretty easy to find a profitable trading method but extremely difficult to trade it profitably.
I very much doubt the profitability ratio will change.....ever.

Thanks for the input Steve..

Thanks also to those who posted their opinions.. I hope everybody learned a thing or two from here.. Because I did..

Unmistakably an enormous level of foreign exchange business directed every day is non theoretical. Merchandise and enterprises should be paid for crosswise over worldwide limits, and there's a reasonable lump of hazard administration by supporting. The imperative thing to recall is that while these exchanges move the market, this business isnt led through brokers. Most likely the little subset of examiners or traders associated with retail spot forex, directing business through a specific broker are participating in what is a nearby guess to a zero aggregate amusement.

Many brokers would be bankrupt.
They've got to pay wages, regulation fees, commission for their partner, and the withdrawal made by successful traders ...
But ...
The chance that brokers would go down is really small, i think.

It's a guilty secret that all the Forex brokers are bookies, and the house always wins.

What particular exchanges that "move the market" are speaking about?
