So is Forex a 50/50 coin flip. NO. There are governments exchanging money for food, commodities, gold, oil, silver, economy control and influence, military weapons, peace projects, etc. There are businesses exchanging money for sales and refunds of products by the Trillions. There are banks exchanging money to invest, protect investments, loans, insurance, etc. There are traders investing short term, long term, there are future traders, news traders, fundamental traders, technical traders and wild guessers. There are revolutions, peace conferences, speakers from banks, G7 meetings, war, terrorists, rumors, news stories, assassinations, real estate, mortgages, on and on and on. To compare the forex to a coin flip is truly a fallacy. I think anyways. However, they do cause the market to bounce up and down constantly and that is the one truth that is always true in Forex.
