How to become a successful trader?

Most important rule: Learn how to lose money properly.

That means appropriate position size, always entering stop loss orders, always sticking to stop loss orders, not revenge trading, not hoping and praying.

It took me 10 years of losing money to understand how foundational this rule is. Hopefully you will learn it quicker than I did.

How do you measure success in trading?
Using that metric, what percentage of your students/customers become successful?

Hi Deaddug,

I apologize for missing your question earlier. The statistics I mentioned come from my experience and the experiences of many students who have worked with us over the past decade. Some of them have been funded or shared their personal account performance with us.

Based on the number of students who have completed different levels of training, here is an approximate success rate we have observed:

  • Teaching: If a trader only relies on reading books, watching videos, and following other people's trades, their chance of success is almost zero.

  • Mentoring: If a trader practices each teaching concept on their own using techniques like forward-testing, market replay, and live demos, or takes Smart Drills under LMS (Learning Management System), their chance of success jumps to around 20%.

  • Coaching: If a trader seeks coaching to personalize their trading approach, considering factors such as psychology, lifestyle, time frames, trading setups, exit strategies, risk tolerance, trading software/data, and broker selection, their chance of success increases to approximately 50%.

  • Monitoring: If a trader undergoes monitoring with a coach, which involves systematically reviewing their trading journals, evaluating progress, identifying the need for additional training and exercises, providing strategies for performance improvement, and addressing any technical or psychological uncertainties, their chance of success rises to around 80%.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions :)

I'm not sure if your numbers are correct but they sound almost reasonable.

The monitoring part implies that the trader has a plan, has someone else checking to see that he has the discipline to follow the plan and reviews why the trader deviated from the plan.
 
Traders should have good knack in risk management strategy because it is the only things that works as a driver for minimizing and maximizing profit.
 
Focus on finding a trading method that suits your style and stick with it. Develop a clear trading plan with defined goals and strategies. Backtest your method using historical data for confidence and improvement. Prioritize risk management to protect your capital.
