Is Forex trading zero sum game ?

Hello traders .
I remember back at old time when I start trade forex and I lost my shirt all the times .It hurt me and my family so bad .
I almost had to file bankrupt and my family almost broken up .
Now I am a professional trader who make few millions dollars a year and live comfortable life .
Some how I still feel so much shame and guilty sometimes .
If forex is zero sum game means I hurt so many people and family out there because I win than some one must lose .
Once in awhile I shake up at night and some how I really worry ,I don't know what I worry about .
do I really break up other people life ?
Any successful traders out there have that kind of experience like me .
Thanks for sharing .

this is how this world works.

this is same as you get hired a day job means someone lose the job.

Yeah, "you are a professional trader who make few millions a year" and you are asking this question... 😲

Now a constructive answer... I believe there is no place for pity in this world. The person who puts money in forex that he/she cannot afford to lose would probably lose it in some other way (gambling, shopping, etc), so if the money is going somewhere, better go to your pocket :)

What a rediculous thread!

If you are serious you can easily make people happy. Just mirror your trading to users and bring them profit.

damn straight! im following your trades and im happy!

Forex is not a zero sum game, no market in the world is a zero sum game but a negative sum game, unless you have ZERO transaction costs (spreads, exchange/broker fees etc.) Just a note :)
