How many % of volume is speculative vs businesses?

@justrading

You appear to be deliberatley mis-construing.

I welcome other people's views, but when the other person starts relying on personal attacks, like the other poster and like you, then they get put on my block list.

Simple.

No surprise here you thick shit. He understood perfectly the same way I did. Grow a brain, grow some skin, grow up.

According to the Bank for International Settlements, foreign-exchange trading increased to an average of $5.3 trillion a day. To put this into perspective, this averages out to be $220 billion per hour. The foreign exchange market is largely made up of institutional investors, corporations, governments, banks, as well as currency speculators. Roughly 90% of this volume is generated by currency speculators capitalizing on intraday price movements.

That's crept up a bit further, since the 85% I mentioned (from having looked in Wikipedia and Investopedia about a year ago): that makes sense, though - it's a figure that's always gradually going to increase, rather than falling, I think?

when the other person starts relying on personal attacks

LOL, there was no "personal attack" at all from me: I just pointed out perfectly politely and amicably that you were mistaken about something, and explained how. But hey - you're certainly welcome to ignore my posts if you want to choose to "Be Right" rather than to learn something.
