Oh the “other 10%” don’t actually Make money , They just realise what they’re doing is dumb and don’t trade their accounts ! 
But I Thank you for your kind permission - Now I’m pretty sure you ARE just trolling ! 
indeed, and i understand that
but, depending on how badly you want to know,
why don’t you
- call investment banks and ask them nicely and see what they say at the very least
or - work in one and learn how it works
or - pay someone who works in one an hour for their time to tell you over a coffee

i was talking about the hedge funds/ investment banks taking on winning trades of retail brokers (as in the 10% we were talking about) witch (those trades) would be losing trades for them(the investment banks and hedge funds and other LP)…don’t know why you took it as an insult
i didn’t do it because i tought you guy knew this…will do…if i even find an investement bank in my country 
Go to You tube and invest an hour or so in the video “Anton Kreil annihilates …”
we do know it, but you don’t seem to be understanding, and i’m no longer prepared to explain it.
and i don’t think falstaff is
so i’m trying to give you another option

Alex, there was one with a similar name used to be here, now spelt backwards on another forum, also English not 1st language, hope you are not one and the same.
The questioning is very valid imo, however there are brilliant drivers of motor racing who haven’t a clue how a car works.
I suppose that we ‘retail’ think that the market revolves around us, then we get a surprise like Men In Black movie when we open the locker!
Edit: for those who haven’t seen MIB:

Really ??? NAME 1
i know 2 Professional Race car drivers and i can tell you they would be absolute idiots to not know how a car works at all.
so… Name 1 that doesn’t have a clue how a car works, be aware that whoever you name, i can research it and ask them.
go ahead
Perhaps it’s different in Australia but here “motor sport” is not restricted to ‘Professional Race car drivers’.
The term covers all motors, even go-karts.
I think you understood well my point but have chosen a specific method of response.
I’m familiar with a few good software engineers, but they couldn’t repair the inside of computer.
Motor racing as understood here:

Martin didn’t challenge me on how Alex’s questioning could have any validity or why the MIB locker reference.
There was a poster here a few years back, cannot remember his name, he used FA in relatively short term trades and happily posted images of his trade tickets.
He used the usual criteria of news numbers like cpi etc.
But there was one item often overlooked - M&A (mergers and acquisitions), he would research any such announcements, the thinking being that this is the very reason for the FX market, the unleveraged exchange of currencies by banks/business.
Can that influence price?

Tip of the iceberg - but good to see the thieving buggers getting caught - shame the other Banks get away with it all the time (imho 
)
well of course not, they are SOFTWARE engineers, not Electronics Engineers, that’s not a fair comparison though.
maybe it is , i am aware that we have Amateur go Kart drivers, but even those guys TO A POINT understand how the car works and how it moves
they still understand… this is the accelerator, this is the break, the steering wheel and this is the motor… all of them have an understanding to some degree
you said…
1980 F1 World Champion Alan Jones was clueless about the cars he drove… I worked with him in the early/mid 90’s when he was racing a B&H BMW M3 in Aust. Touring Cars… nice friendly guy… just didn’t care… “Bloody thing is understeering… fix it!..”
“There is a noise coming from the front of the car in 5th gear…Ahhh., Yep, it’s the splitter hitting the track when the aero load is up on the car…Ohhhh.”
He once said to his race engineer that the 1981 Ground Effect Williams FW07B (with skirts) was to stiffly sprung and was hurting his back…
Frank Williams chimed in… “maybe you should be sitting on your wallet…”
Jones quipped… “Well… give me more to put in it…”

I think where you’re getting tripped up is looking at your trade from an individual basis.
Depending on the broker (principal vs. agency), trades are pooled together and looked at from an aggregate risk exposure basis. For example, am I net short EUR/USD or euros, and by how much? Then depending on their risk controls, they will adjust their exposure. By matching orders internally, hedging in the outside market, etc. This is done continuously.

ok cool
and then you disprove yourself by this comment
you see this comment shows that he knows what Understeering is
a Race Driver CANNOT KNOW NOTHING about a car
They can know very little
They cannot care about how an engine works in all it’s fine detail
but they have to know something, that was my point
and the original point we are referring to is… that a trader can know nothing about math and trade
@Trendswithbenefits Mate,… you of all people know that this is not possible, i mean if a trader doesn’t have basic math and they can’t calculate something like 1% of Whatever of they can’t calculate simple things, they will lose, they can’t trade, they won’t be able to formulate a strategy without basic maths
and a driver will not be able to drive unless they know some basics.
I’m betting that Alan knew that the car took fuel, where the accelerator was and the break and so on and perhaps a bit about drifting and drafting and so on, he would have to know something regardless of how little a care he had, he would have to know something
can we agree on that.
you worked with him… he knew how to drive the bloody car… right ? and … to a professional standard ? right ?
I like this by the way 
I got eyestrain trying to understand where you were going with your response…
Yes… the better your maths ability the more chance you have of succeeding in Forex…and Yes… knowledge and the ability to find and research the information you require for Forex will also improve your odds at being successful…

Yes, which is why demo trading might be a good next step for you at this point to gain more practical knowledge.
