Well, I think this figure is a bit exaggerated. I think they loose not more than about 70% . They do so because they watch too much commercials demonstrating how easy it is to make money on forex. That leads to loosing money.
I think that the only way for us to know for certain would be a survey by a proper statistics agency.

Honestly friends you really are trying to reinvent the wheel, discipline is mentioned a lot for a reason and it is rarely masted, find a quality system splice it with good money management skills and you have money in the bank, IT IS THAT SIMPLE, but in general people hate discipline and lack the focus and motivation to master it.
Treat trading like a trade ie[ carpentry, boilermaker, plumber ], it takes you years to master a trade, trading is the same, yet people come into this game and wonder why they blow all their cash without completing their apprenticeship.
Apply yourself to a quality successful system, learn as much as you can about the style of trading you want to pursue, find yourself a trading home and never quit = success. All the best, GW

traders fail when their strategies not work , and only due to money management our strategies not work practically , so it is more important to ensure how to manage money when trading.

Actually there is no one in this stock market place who can avoid loss complexly even professional traders who already passed a long time in here with great patience. So I don’t know why we got upset when making a loss. just focus and keep consistence.

Losses in forex are inevitable. Unless you lose you will not learn how to make it work. As for those traders that never make it in forex and always seem to be in loss the primary reasons are impatience and lack of discipline. Moreover the nuts and bolts of forex markets are not grasped by everyone with the same efficiency. So you may be passionate about forex but you also gotta have the right aptitude for it.

I have never found at any guys who take Forex as a passion, most of the traders we have take this market place as a casino and try to make money very rapidly without learning.

I've wondered how anyone knows that 95% of traders fail.
Where do those statistics come from?

That reminds me of the claim that men beat their wives at a higher frequency on Super Bowl Sunday and when England loses a World Cup game.
Both are false claims- myths, but many people believe it.

Another one is that Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) is the biggest shopping day of the year. It isn't. Another myth that has become a false truism.

I looked at a article from ESMA and the FX broker with the most proffiteble traders where at 39% too the lowest on the list at nr.20 that where around 15% soo that 95% fail is not true...Ore 31% and 15 i dont remember exactly but not 95% atleast...Mayby many fail and give up can be higher but for traders who trade with theese brokers ESMA is not lying abut this if it where up too ESMA FX would be banned forever...

yea i've seen those stats too , some brokers even claim to have 40 % of successful traders

but it all boils down to the sampling period , if you take a 3 month period you can have 60 % of winning traders who will get margin called in the following 3 months

the 95 % of failed traders cliche' refers to a broader and general statistic which takes into account longer time periods

All brokers have too say how many% are not proffiteble in their comersials and thoose facts have too be proven for ESMA in europian countries atleast and i have seen them goo from 69%-79% in that range but that can of course bee taken out of one week of trading mayby the best of the year....And of course if you see it over a prespective of 3-5 years and take all that try and trade forex most will give up within 6 months and then number can be 90-95% not as some of us here been struggeling with this for over 4 years now on a daily basis and refuse too quit...LOL have a good weekend ...And keep it green....

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but most new traders blow out their account or go broke before they have a chance to learn how to trade. No one should trade more than 0.01 lots per trade until they have been profitable for at least 3 months in a row. Plan on that taking 5 to 10 years of study and practice. - G
