Wanna know why a majority of traders lose?

[quote=Ace66;10102409] thats not true. if someone would be a teacher (and not extrem stupid) he would never tell how he earn money exactly with the strategy. then this strategy gets worthless after this, and who is pushing many 100k of money all the time he is talking about a strategy in the garbage is a big idiot. you can help with common problems, teach people how to learn, where to start, what to avoid, whats the progress to establish and find good strategies, whats wrong in their sentences or mistakes in their math calculations ..... but when someone is telling a strategy , then he is no veteran, he is simple stupid and just a beginner, because never came to a point where his own money already has problems to get filled very good.

i have never seen one smart telling a good strategy and i think i never will. thats only the part for the dumb stupid beginners or fakers.

when someone is bashing for this, then its not a veteran, its simple a longtime trader who did not learn basics.

I just thought about another reason that I wanted to add to this thread. When you really think about it, trading is basically math. Statistical probability. How many traders are mathematically competent? I am willing to bet not that many. The ones that succeed usually are. Typically they come from some sort of engineering or math background, and believe it or not, even musical backgrounds, which is very math related whether people realize it or not. That's a huge advantage because they are naturally going to be more adept at managing their risk and reward situations and less prone to doing things purely out of emotion with stats and numbers to back it up. Trading simply involves a lot more number crunching than most are aware of or willing to do.

true. its to 99% a simple math game and knowing the rules.

i always wondering how many people are stupid enough to waste their time with arbitrage , hedge trading, martingale ......., what you can simple calculate by math or know by market knowledge as stupid or extrem more risky or a extrem money wasting way against doing it more easy and clean. not only just beginner, of course when someone using it he will always will be a beginner, no matter how long he trades.

trading is nothing with trading wins, its only trading the risk. wins come from this from alone, wins you cant calculate exactly , max losses you can and until what point your strategy works like normal. you calculate all around your drawdown (whats the most important number you can have) and choose strategies that have many wins and losses that you can calculate all in very good way. many people are so afraid for losses, they never got the basics. losses are good, if they are planed and are normal amounts. nothing is better then having good strategies with many losses inside and more winner same time, near unbeatable because of extrem big chance of survive because losses are already fair calculated in. many hold their positions until they are in win at least, but tahts stupid, you hold a position until they market looks like going in this direction, if not you go out or go out and open other side direction. you trade they market, not your entry point. if you get loss with this, then your strategy is wrong. and you know you need to take a look for other or start now with math and marketknowledge basics and how to develop and proper system in different steps.

so many people here (call in their profile as professional trader) write so many wrong things here, i often are scared how bad some are teached and really trade real accounts same time, some even in futures with knowing even not the basics. no wonder many people start wrong when they read often so wrong informations from so called professional traders.

What about what you can not change?
