Is it possible to win in one trade? Or are we supposed to lose 9/10 times

What do you all think? Is it possible to win in trading? Or are we all kidding ourselves and this is just one big lottery.

Just asking - truthfully, how much effort have you put into the position management aspect of your trading system ? I ask because I see so many new clients to my program that have done such a lousy job of it before they hired me. And then I rebuild them. You have to put about as much time and effort into position management as trade entry.

I have traded options, futures, forex, and stocks.

I know all these instruments well, but the problem is I don't specify and stick to a single market and learn it well.

One way of solving a problem is recognizing where you fell short and you have done it perfectly and added a suitable advice to it as well with no hassle, now stick to one and learn it well

The question here is, what am I doing wrong?

You not setting a realistic profit target.
You want a big profit but the market retraces to below your entry and you get shaken out for a loss.

Lets say you set a 50pt profit target and a 50pt stop loss, you will atleast get some winners out of 50 trades.
Maybe not enough to turn a profit, but they wont all be losers.
