The forecast information of the foreign exchange market changes in a short period of time.
The pros among the pros unanimously say that it is important to “*doubt common sense*”.
*What exactly is this common sense?*
If it is common sense that the adjustment of the foreign exchange market is most appropriate through “*intervention*”, then how long is the duration of the intervention effect?
