One way to look at it is yes there does have to be a buyer for every seller however a small group of traders could take the otherside in the trade. Let's say 100 people are trading a particular currency. 90 of them buy the currency the other 10 take the all short positions of the 90. The price goes against the 90 you have 90% losers 10% winners. I guess what I am saying is the traders taking the other side of the trade do not have to be 50 different traders. It could be 10 traders taking the other side of the 90 people. Does this make any sense?(lol)
