    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?



    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. ;)
