Theoretical Forex question

New comment
 

Hi guys,

I'm sort of new in Forex trading. I'd like to ask what theoretically would happen if all trader on forex market in same time do the same action.

Let's say on pair EUR/USD all traders on the world open BUY position in same time?

This kind of action would move the pair upwards or downwards? or only 50% of traders get they request filled?

any thoughts?

cheers,

Aladar

 

To open a buy would require someone else, the counter-party, to sell.

If everyone wanted to open a buy, meaning no one was willing to sell at the current market price, then the market price would "gap up" and keep on gapping until it finally reached a price at which point some of those people who initially wanted to buy (or at least not sell) become convinced the price is right to sell.

This is basically what happens every Sunday.
