Why Do Most Traders Fail?

Nearly 95% of traders lose money—and it's usually because of the same repeated mistakes.

Want to succeed? Avoid these major traps:

❌ Going Against the Trend – Always trade in the direction of the dominant trend.

❌ Bad Risk Management – Only risk what you can afford. Keep losses under 1–5% per trade.

❌ Strategy Overload – Don’t jump between methods. Pick one solid strategy and master it.

❌ No Trading Journal – If you’re not tracking your trades, mindset, and mistakes, you’re flying blind.

❌ Unrealistic Goals – Small accounts don’t make massive profits overnight. Grow steadily.

❌ Greed – Take what the market gives. Greed destroys consistency.

❌ Fearful Trading – Control your emotions through smart risk management.

❌ Trying to Predict – React to market signals—don’t guess the future.

❌ Overtrading – More trades don’t mean more profit. Wait for clean, high-probability setups.

📌 Golden Rule: Whether you're up or down 10%, pause and reset. Discipline beats emotions—every time.

Successful trading = Discipline + Risk Management + Emotional Control
