Why does 36 trillion seem high? Sounds about right, especially since some of the forex trades are for legitimate currency changing, not speculation.

Mostly based on the Wikipedia estimate of 69 trillion as the world wide GDP. Though as I said, it's also very much a gut feel:)

You should look a little more into what GDP means. The "money" you see is very much the tip of the iceberg.
