FINRA

🔍 Research from 1975 showed that about 10% of traders in the futures market consistently made a profit, and only about 2% of them earned enough to make trading their primary source of income.

At that time, there was no internet and very few educational resources. Imagine, similar results exist today. This is progress for you.

The FINRA corporation provided a report for 2025, stating that 40% of traders leave the market in the first month, 72% end the year in the negative, 3% of prop traders earned over $50k, and only 1% of traders are successful over a period of 5 years.
