An animated description of how the currency market works compared to the stock market, and how to use the principle of the "Zero Sum Game" to make money trading forex.

1. “The Zero Sum Game”: What you must understand in order to make money in the long run "I don't play the game by a certain set of rules; I look for changes in the rules of the game.“ — George Soros

2. How to win without relying on luck

4. Sentiment

6. Rules of the game Rule #1: The process of price discovery is chaotic and thus unpredictable. Rule #2: The market’s job is to confuse the most participants Rule #3: No wealth is created or destroyed—only transferred. Rule #4: People don’t trade the market. They trade their opinions of the market Rule #5: The profitable players in the market are a minority (by definition). The way they win is by knowing the hand (position) of the majority

8. Hint: Think in between the two, and that is the present.

9. Let someone else catch falling knives

10. The “secret” formula:IMBALANCE + SENTIMENT CHANGE = PROFIT

11. Thinking in the present IMBALANCE + SENTIMENT CHANGE = PROFIT An imbalance happens when the market as a whole starts to reach a consensus A sentiment change can be realized when price starts responding to events and technical levels differently (also when media focuses on something else) A profit is realized by letting someone else discover where the bottom is, catching the meat of the move, and limiting risk while also accounting for randomness
