What would happen if an extremely skilled forex trader cornered the worlds currency market, and managed to…?
I want to know in your opinion what you think would happen if one day an extremely skilled, talented and diciplined forex trader took £100, and doubled it every day for a year which I know isn’t even possible, but if they managed to, and managed to corner and accumulate the currency markets worldwide, what would the govenments and people of the world do about it if someone did this?

admin answers:
Firstly, there isn’t anywhere near enough money on the planet for someone to double their money every day. Do the maths and you’ll see that you end up with well over 10^100 pounds – which is billions of pounds for every proton in the universe!!
But even the greatest traders do not come anywhere near doubling their money in a day. They make profits by trading vast sums on tiny margins. A 1% profit in a day is excellent if you were trading with £10 million.
And in any case there is a limited supply of currency, which is small compared to the reserves held by governments (of their own and other major world currencies). If one trader (or bank) bought up all the available Pounds Sterling, the impact would not be catastrophic. And to do so would mean they probably had to spend all their reserves of other currencies, which is a highly risky strategy.
The national government that issues a currency has a number of defence mechanisms to avoid any possibility of this kind of thing. EG they could set interest rates to zero, meaning the trader holding the currency would not be earning anything on his holdings. So he would have to sell, which would lower the price, so he might end up with a loss. Or a government could take even more extreme measures such as devaluing the currency.

Jenny asks…
Is this FOREX currency trader legit or is it a scam?
http://www.4xmoneytrain.com
I don’t doubt that there IS a FOREX, but I DO need to know if this site is legit. It’s starting to look like MLM… grrrr
ah, yeah total scam mlm
Thanks for the answers, I’d like to hold this one open a bit longer though. Can we get some more opinions? (I’ll keep an open mind.)
Thanks, Carlos, I thought currency exchanges were myths, like unicorns and bacon-flavored bubble gum. Now I know and I owe it all to you.
Hey koko, it’s definitely possible to get 50%. It’s much harder to get that series 7 securities license. I’ve been told that you need 1/2 million just for legal fees.
Ok, I finally think I have it.
Freedom Rocks sells a piece of software that receives a feed with fx market info. It uses algorithyms to determine what ADVICE it has for you.
It does not execute the trades automatically.
Am I correct so far? It took me many hours to get this far.
So anyway, freedom rocks ($100/ month + $25 initial fee – request in writing to cancel) is all about selling the software. It is MLM / Multi-Level Marketing, but doesn’t break rules because a Ponzi scheme, which is illegal, makes its main cashflow from sign-up fees. This program makes its money from monthly fees.
I thought it executed trades itself. Oh well. I’d rather learn fx and learn to set up good conditional trades without it.
If I got some of this info wrong, just chime in, please.
Booyeah

OK. Yes it is a Multi Level Marketing company. But, lets face it MLM is the wave of the future. Now, lets not focus on the business but the product. The product makes people money. The freedomRocks trading system eliminates the guesswork. Did you know this stat.? 90% of people who invest manually in the Forex lose their money in the first 60 days. Why? Well obviously they do not know what they are doing. Secondly Forex trading wasn’t really introduced to the public until about 1998, so it is a relatively new investment strategy. Thats why the lone 10% of people who know what they are doing in the Forex do not like FreedomRocks. It is allowing complete newbies to manage their own accounts, putting them out of work. And yes people can say what they will about MLM, but why would one of the largest brokers in the industry join hands with this company if they thought it was going to crumble like a cookie? That broker is GFT (Global Forex Trading). I have signed up clients from all over the world and should I boast that not a single one of them has lost money?! No. I won’t, because I want anyone who is reading this to try it themselves. I will be anybody’s personal coach and I would love to answer some more questions. Feel free to call me anytime.

Just few thoughts from their faq
You place all of your own trades, in your own brokerage account, so you always have 100% control over your money
THAT IS OK
There are no charts or graphs to read
IT IS INTERESTING HOW YOU DO FORECAST
No research
HOW COULD WORK WITHOUT RESEARCH
No signals
???
You’ll always trade currency pairs which (historically speaking) move in opposite directions
IF NO CHARTS HOW TO KNOW HISTORICAL DATA?
You’ll seldom exit your positions
WHAT THEY MEAN SELDOM? YOU SHOULD EXIT WHEN IT IS TREND REVERSE SIGNALS.
You can manage a portfolio of any size in just a few minutes per week
IT IS STRAIGHT WAY TO THE LOSS.
You don’t have to monitor your portfolio all night when the markets are their most active
NOBODY MONITORS THEIR PORTFOLIO’S 24/7
In addition to your trading gains, you can set your portfolio to produce virtually any level of interest you desire – keeping in mind, that higher interest rates may significantly increase the volatility and overall risk of your portfolio
IT LOOKS THAT IT IS BLACK BOX
**********************
THERE ON THE PRESENTATION IS VERY NICE SHOWN ONLY POSITIVE SIDE OF POSSIBLE TRADING. EVEN ABOUT SWAPs THEY DESCRIBED THAT IT IS POSITIVE AND THAT INTEREST DIFFERENCE WOULD BE ADD TO ACCOUNT BALANCE HOWEVER NO ONE WORD ABOUT NEGATIVE SWAPS. ALSO NO ONE WORD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IF CURRENCE CROSS THE 100 PIPS LINE AND CONTINUE RISING OR FALLING.
I DON’T SAY THAT “BLACK BOX” ARE SCAMS BUT IT DOESN’T WORTH TO BUY/RENT. IF IT WOULD BE SO PROFITABLE THEN FIRSTLY RENTING WOULD BE NOT $100 PER MONTH BUT MILLIONS. FURTHERMORE ALL TRADERS BECOME JOBLESS
ACTUALLY TRADING SYSTEM THEY ARE USING IS NOT SO PROFITABLE AS THEY DESCRIBE BECAUSE MARKET IS NOT LINEAR THUS PREDICTION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
**************************
NO ONE BLACK BOX OPERATES GOOD BECAUSE IT IS CONSTRUCTED ON HISTORICAL DATA. BUT MARKET IS A LIVE STRUCTURE BECAUSE ALL TRADERS ARE LIVE PERSONS AND NOBODY CAN PREDICT MARKET MOVEMENT AS WELL AS PREDICT FURTHER STEP OF MANY TRADERS. THERE ARE TRADING TECHNICUES TO MAKE SUCCESFUL TRADES BUT NO ONE PC COULD DO IT ITSELF. IS SUCH BLACK BOX WOULD EXIST IT WOULD COST MILLIONS…
ONLY MAN COULD TRADE SUCCESSFULLY!
WELL, THAT WAS ONLY MY OPINION
******************
IF YOU NEED BROKERAGE COMPANY THAT ALLOW YOU TO TRADE FOREX, CFD, COMMODITIES, METALS (TOTAL 500 INSTRUMENTS) FROM ONE ACCOUN I COULD INTRODUCE YOU.
IF YOU OPEN ACCOUNT UNDER MY REFERRAL I PROVIDE YOU WITH TRADING TECHNIQUES THAT I SUCCESSFULLY USE FOR 5 YEARS. IF YOU INTERESTING E-MAIL OR PM ME
GOOD LUCK!
P.S. I’m not related with that brokerage company. I just have rights as Introducing Broker.
