Why 90% of Traders Lose 90% of Their Money in the First 90 Days
Knowledge
They Don't Know What They Don't Know
Most traders jump in with YouTube tutorials and free advice, thinking they can outsmart institutional money. Without proper education on market structure, order flow, and institutional behavior, they're trading blind against professionals with decades of experience.
Strategy
No System = No Success
They chase shiny indicators and "holy grail" strategies instead of building a proven, repeatable system. Without clear entry/exit rules, position sizing, and backtested methods, every trade becomes emotional gambling rather than calculated business decisions.
Psychology
Emotions Kill Accounts Faster Than Bad Trades
Fear, greed, and revenge trading destroy more accounts than market crashes. Most traders lack the mental frameworks to handle losses, leading to position sizing errors, overtrading, and the inability to follow their own rules when money is on the line.
Risk
They Risk Everything to Make Nothing
Poor risk management is the fastest way to join the 90%. They risk 10% per trade hoping to get rich quick, instead of protecting capital with proper position sizing. One bad streak and they're out of the game permanently.
