I can use the COT report to derive the volume of trades so I don't want forex trades in volume. I want to know how many people, institutions, and other entities actually dabble in forex trading (and if possible, if I can find out how many people do retail trades). Any help is appreciated, thanks! Oh, and best answer with a source gets 10 points.

Forex trading can best be measured in volume..As such:
A single trader can open multiple accounts
There are both online and offline traders-who are difficult to count
One broker can/does trade for numerous investors
Thus only a rough estimate may be possible-that too in a percentage figure mostly.
