How Financial Markets Work
Markets aren't controlled by a single force — they're the combined result of millions of buyers and sellers interacting in real time. This course explains what actually drives price movement: liquidity, the different types of market participants, why price reflects belief rather than fixed value, and why markets are probabilistic rather than predictable.

The Market Is Not What You Think When most people imagine financial markets, they picture something structured, almost mechanical. Charts moving, numbers changing, maybe a few people making decisions behind the scenes. The reality is far less orderly. A financial market is not a place in the traditional sense. It is a constantly evolving system where millions of participants interact at the same time—placing orders, reacting to information, adjusting positions, and often changing their minds. There is no central “brain” controlling it. There is no single force deciding where price should go. What you see on a chart is the result of all those decisions combined. In other words, the market is not controlled.
