Why 90% of Traders Lose Money and How to Be in the 10%

Studies show that 90% of traders lose money in the stock market. The reasons are clear — no trading plan, no risk management, trading on emotions, and overleveraging. The 10% who consistently profit follow strict rules. They never risk more than 1-2% per trade. They have a written trading plan they follow without exception. They keep a trading journal and review their mistakes. They treat trading as a business not a casino. The difference between winners and losers is not intelligence — it is discipline and process.
