For me, those 1% are the traders or investors who fully invested in their knowledge where they fully understand the game, they also know that trading is not just quick rich wherein they have a view of a long term success. Many traders are failing because they want their money to double in just days without focusing in risk management that causing them to lose a lot of money. If you want to stay in the game then focus on your risk management like knowing how to use stop loss, knowing the perfect time of entry and exit.

Mastery is also important wherein you should focus on mastering reading prices, trends also the indicators that you are currently using, there are a lot of traders out there who keep losing because they also do not have any trading system and for me it is a matter.
