I'm not quite sure where did you get those number but I don't think your statistics were right may I ask where did you get those information but if those were right i think those 1% are probably full time traders or probably whales.
The numbers are from the collection of research papers which I noted above (see below also for your reference) - you can google them (because when I posted links to them my message was removed by moderators

As for full-time traders and whales you can check the earlier discussion where I explained that it's very weak reason - those people are also humans like both of us, and lose as much as regular people. It's just happens to be that we hear only about success stories, not about failures so much - survivorship bias.
