Most of traders in loses but i think this percentage are not 95%, i am also short term traders and i agree that now i lost big amount in last two months.
Short term traders have to take big risk, if it will work profit is also big. If most of traders are lost their money so they are trying earn money from other sources.
Majority of traders in the market are trading without the confidence of making profits in the market. This is nit mostly because their strategies are bad and not good enough but can be as a result of the market change of patterns and structure.
We need to understand market structure a lot for us to make profits from the market. This is one of the reasons why what works for us before might not work again. The market keep changing patterns and strong and we should not allow that to affect us as a trader.
Although some traders didn't concentrate on their strategies and they didn't even know their loss way. Because when someone made a mistake he should know where the mistake came from and what mistake did he perform, so he should take some advice next time to not doing this type of a mistake. Same in the case in trading mostly users made mistakes by just using their strategy 100 times which they didn't change and they don't even know it.
Mostly they blame the market conditions, that market was not good etc. that's why we are in loss. I know market also play important role in their trading but a strategy is something that should be considered the most. So, they can easily get a good decisions and good profit from their trading.
