Yeah I hear you, except who told you that merchants are hedgers? That's why if I have to buy 100k from the same bank, I'll buy 10 first, then sell 5, then buy 7, sell 3, etc. until I get 100. Exactly so that the bank doesn't take that position)))

at the close of the week all your moves will be recalculated and issued as a report...

[Владислав]

That's probably what we should be looking at, total commercial and non-commercial positions

there are more long positions so it's not going down

You and Tantrik went to the bank with dollars... you bought Euros for 100k Tantrik for 0.1k... what position will the bank take... come one hour later and repeat the action... will the bank say it has no money... and how will selling the bank Euros affect your desire to repeat the above actions again))))

The answer is that the bank will not take a position. The number of sales always equals the number of purchases. ALWAYS )))

[Владислав]

Here's on the euere. Longs shorted.

That's not true.

strangerr:
It is not.

I'm sorry. but it's true. no irony, etc.

p.s. look into the glass . 1 sales contract satisfies - 1 buying contract etc. blah blah blah

I'm not being ironic either, but so be it. It's just too obvious, like an axiom, and no one really thinks about it.
