The forex market is not a pyramid scheme. It is a zero-sum game, and it may seem unfair to new traders because those who make money consistently are the professional traders and institutional traders who are likely to prey on the ill-informed and untrained trading masses. The best way to avoid landing on the losing side of this zero-sum game where there is always a winner and a loser to any trade, is to become adept at trading yourself. In other words, become one of the traders who is more likely to end up on the winning side of any trade by improving your forex trading skills and knowledge.
