Let's conduct an experiment to summarize the ratio of profit and loss makers and the behavioral characteristics of losers
Content: 1. Voting, let's see how many people in the square are making money, what is the profit and loss ratio?
2. Comments, the content needs to include: one's own profit and loss, characteristics that meet those listed in the text, characteristics outside of the text (e.g., large losses, I trade by feeling, because I feel sorry to stop loss, so I often lower the stop-loss line, losing so much, always wanting to make up for it in one go, increasing leverage, leading to continuous losses)

In the financial market, traders who continue to lose often exhibit significant common characteristics:
1. Emotional control disorder
Typical performance is irrational decision-making patterns: overconfident individuals attribute occasional profits to personal ability, adopting aggressive leverage strategies (commonly above 3 times leverage); fear-dominated traders frequently modify stop-loss points during market fluctuations; statistics show that 60% of unplanned liquidation occurs within a 2% price fluctuation. Driven by greed, 35% of losing traders exhibit the abnormal phenomenon of holding profitable positions for more than 24 hours, far exceeding the industry average holding period of 8 hours.
2. Failure of risk management systems
78% of losing accounts lack a complete risk management framework, specifically manifested as: stop-loss execution rate below 40%, position size often exceeding 200%-300% of the account's capacity. More seriously, 57% of respondents admitted to investing over 50% of their principal in a single trade, this gambler mentality directly leads to sharp fluctuations in account net value.
3. Structural defects in trading strategies
Triple dilemma: 1) 70% of losers use subjective strategies that have not been backtested; 2) Abnormal strategy iteration frequency, 42% of traders change trading systems more than 3 times on average per month; 3) Significant imbalance between long and short positions, with short trades accounting for less than 15% (in the A-share market this ratio is even lower than 5%), exposing a clear tendency to rely on trends.
4. Cognitive and behavioral biases
Continuous losers exhibit stubborn cognitive biases: confirmation bias leads 87% of traders to focus only on information sources that support their judgments; recent preference results in a 92% forgetting rate of trading lessons from three months ago. Behavioral finance data shows that these traders have an average trading frequency 2.3 times that of profit makers, but their win rate is 18 percentage points lower.
