There is a widely published and republished belief that most new leveraged traders lose their trading capital. This is a hard fact to verify, since most broker's don't reveal precisely how their customers do.

So, How Do YOU think New Leveraged Traders Fare?
 
you can see plenty of large trades going off at the weirdest of prices and while some do for a reason, most seem to consist of orders fired by nervous and emotive traders....i am pretty suire that most are not fresh or new to the market as i am sure quite a few of them are just plain casino type high rollers.

those holders of large account and with no problems of money in that they are very comfortable, should do well, espeially if commited and have already been successful in other ventures.

I would not be surprised if many people treat the markets like Vegas. Let it ride! To many, the main purpose of trading is to make money, not just the thrill of the chase.
