By: Andrew_Abraham
There are many that do not understand that commodity trading and forex trading are a zero sum game. In other words in order for one forex or commodity trader to benefit ( make money) another trader loses money. It is very clear to me after all these years of commodity trading.

Trading Rules, Pajamas and Profits / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Dr_Janice_Dorn
Most traders come to the markets because they see a way to break from the 9-5 routine. They want to make their own decisions, say” bye bye” to working for the boss man (or woman), set their own time schedules and routines.
