Why do 95% of traders lose?

 

They say that 95% of traders lose money in the long run (i.e. they can win for a month, half a year, a year, but after a while they still lose their money) .

Can anyone properly explain the reasons why they lose money?

..Emotions, not following the MM, not following trading tactics and changing it during trading - all that, but there are a lot of robots on the market that do not have those human characteristics. So who can tell the real reasons why people and robots lose money on the markets? Still, 95% of traders who lose money, I think that's a lot.

If you look at education statistics you can see that people who graduated from universities also do not work by their specialty.

And on the subject, answer for yourself:

Do you keep a journal?

Analyse every transaction, regardless of the outcome?

Do you always enter by your trading robot, or by intuition in the middle of the night?

Always put a stop? And when you install them, do you calculate the level of loss beforehand - have you planned it?

If you play like that, the loss statistics will be 95% at best. You have to plan your losses first, and then think about profits.

Is it a lot? Oddly enough, the large market participants trade with a range and gain positions with averaging, while the small ones use stops and leverage.

More globally, greed ruins deposits.

No questions asked if it's a robot.
Of course, apart from the journal, he doesn't keep it and doesn't analyse the trades.

There is only one reason why people lose money! Poor understanding of the market
 
Alexey Busygin:
There is only one reason to lose money! Misunderstanding of the market

Exactly! The point is that, apart from the current price (CD, green), there is a market price (P, red), invisible to anyone (except my indicator), which at any time can turn into a visible CD price, sending the former CD into the invisible area, turning it into P. That's it! You went in analysing CD, and you are confronted with unknown P! Simply, no one wants to seriously study the new market theory https://www.mql5.com/ru/forum/58256
