The remaining 1% of traders that really make hell of money from trading are rich whales who can easily manipulates the market to make their own gains, they hardly end up in losses, their huge funds or assets is their true power

Nah, not always. You can check the story of LTCM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management), Lehman Brothers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehman_Brothers), and there are others as well - they were the whales of the whales. While also you can check Takashi Kotegawa (https://www.worldtopinvestors.com/takashi-kotegawa-investor-profile/). So whales are not the smartest people in the world Wink

We all have chance.

Speaking of opportunity cost, i will spend more time on the safe bonds which will yield 3% in less than one hour and this is the reason why i don't spend much time on trading in the first place.
Was is it worth that?

I guess you are right but i just dont see it as something nice because they usually dont talk about the moment of profit making but their loss.

Well there are different kinds of bonds though, there are high-yields, junk bonds (some people made fortunes trading those), and other fixed-income products (but most of them are not accessible to common retail traders actually, that's why few times I mentioned that I think those 1% might have access to something what common people cannot access?).

I'm sure there are both kinds of people - someone who will be showing off with their profit making ability and saying they are so smart, and others who will be talking about their losses and saying it's just this only time they got unfortunate. But I think there will be more people showing off their profits though.

Exactly and I agree with you.

I guess they are those traders who earn a profit using their huger capital to gain continuously in the market. Manipulating the price isn't easy I guess, but if you are one of those whales that has a huge capital, maybe you can.

Another factor that possible to consider as a remaining 1% of traders is those who are experts in trading and building up their fund just to survive in trading and gain profit. But who are they? That question we did not know because as far as I know, most traders are newbies lurking and seeking money on the internet.

You forgot to add "most traders are newbies lurking and seeking money on the internet, and end up selling trading courses or VIP signals and using that profit claim they are pro-traders and reinforce the cycle" Cheesy

not at all, we can say that those 1% are those people who are not afraid to take step in the game , they are not afraid to take risk and willing to lose in order for them to gain in the future, even we are not whales , still we can have that opportunity and use that to grow our asset.

Great point! And the people like Takashi Kotegawa (there are others also) are great example of that. Start at the level same or lower than most people in this Community, and end up being an individual trading more than a lot of funds in the world.

Yes. Remaining lowkey would be the best thing while watching everyone who's also happy with them.

Yes, and not necessarily happy with them. "Big brother is watching" - so can also be a reason for them to stay lowkey given the fact how much most of us love to pay taxes from crypto Cheesy

Good luck with that plan. That's a good initiative if you have plans for that. I'm actually not a good educator so basically, you can start with it and sharing ideas with us about that topic.

It is for sure that when a topic like that comes out, there will be people who will be eyeing it. As the usual quote about money talks, they're there to listen.

Thank you for that! You will be among the first ones whom we gonna invite for those courses/lessons/videos when we make them available Wink

It's at our core to help all people around the world to have the same opportunity and knowledge in the advanced financial areas as the common "financial elites", because when more people know about it - we are more equal and have same chances to benefit from it (no, we are not communists though to make everyone equal Cheesy
