There is no proper TS - that's why they merge. Everything else (psychology, etc., etc.) is secondary. No TS -- hence the twitching -- psychology, discipline, etc. - and as a result, you're dumped.

But the root cause of the drain is the lack of TS.

No discipline, MM, psychology, deposit, broker, software, character, health, etc. No discipline, psychology, deposit, broker, software, temperament, health, etc.

 

If the market is losing 95% then what is the point of participating at all... And how can you pick up a TS in a market where everyone is trying to trade their TS. (Grids Robots Handles Head)

When I ask what is wrong with me. They are always the same answers They come in early or late. So I get the feeling that the crowd is just pulling. But this is my personal opinion, maybe I'm not mature enough...

I wouldn't trade big, though. There's a good chance you'll be out of your trousers. )))))

 
Where do you get these percentages from?! Statistics from previous years say that about 35-40% of accounts are profitable... Where and who scared you so...:)

Profitable accounts are also in question. For example, all martins are profitable. Up to a certain point. Then the day comes when that account is unprofitable, down to zero. And according to the statistics of profitable-losses everything is still beautiful).
 
"A certain point", will come for everyone.
The stats include martiners, average traders, arbitrageurs, etc.
It is counted by accounts, not by systems or strategies.
But what does this have to do with the "95%" they talk about on all the Russian forums?
 
It is often said that every entry into the market has a 50/50 chance, why then is the ratio between profitable and unprofitable traders said to be 95/5?!
In fact, in every account there are numerous entries with 50/50 odds....:) Minus, spread, commissions. where is the error in this logical construct? .... :)
