The rule of 90 or 90% rule is a gloomy statistics that was suppose to serve as a reminder or caution newbies traders. The rule states that "90% of traders lose 90% of their funds in their first 90 days of trading."

Do you believe that? I hope this caution new traders that are opportune to read it.

I've never seen or read about this rule before but I'm sure that this rule is wrong. More than 90% of traders lose more than 90% of their funds in less than 90 days. Jokes aside, this is a very interesting rule that's based on real-life statistics. That rule is true and I can confirm that from my experience. I've gained lots of money by holding coins. Once I started trading, I gained huge profits but it was mostly because the market was in the bull run but soon a bad accident happened and I lost up to 50% of my money in a few months. It didn't happen in 90 days in my case but it happened in the 6 months time and I learnt a lot from my mistakes. Since then, I decided to focus on holding instead of trading every day. Now I trade once a year or two years and I feel more peaceful and I'm more profitable.
