Why do 5% of Traders Win?

Quote from cornixforex:

It has nothing to do with account size, it has with how you trust (or not) your abilities.


Quote from trader198:

I heard wall street 's wisdom is: the market is always right.

A bit more on trust, and price always being right


As I am trading;

Price asks me to provide it complete trust…, and 100% obedience

in a similar vein

I ask price to provide me total honesty…, and money


Makes for a profitable relationship..., when I comply

Why do 5% of traders win? - 62 pages of posts.
Why do 95% of traders lose? - 7 pages.

That's about 9:1.

Hmm!!!
it just proves there is a God and the good guys always win, just like the book of revelation, in the end the good guys win (well 144,000 of them do, so I guess at the time in the region that was about 5%.)

:D

At this rate that relationship 7/(62 and rising) is rapidly approaching 5%. "hmmmmm!!!".... indeed. So, the losers don't know why their losing which I guess makes senses, otherwise they'd be winning.
 
Y'all make fun of the losers – like they are some sort of imbecilic being…

Y'all make it sound as if a “winner” is somehow better than a “loser”



I pride myself on being a loser – and I also have compassion for their current plight


==========================

My next trade, not managed properly – will break my account


Ego… pride… judgment…


Learn to stick them up your ass… and become respectful of losers…. appreciate losers


Come to realize, losers are at the very core – of what makes a trader profitable

no kidding, you can't have one without the other. It's been so long since I experienced pain I don't even know what pleasure feels like anymore.

I liked it better when they let you smoke. Now when you go to rehab they make you smoke in this little glass box.

otherwise I agree, it's probably better to consider yourself sometimes a winner and sometimes a loser.

At the final day of rekoning we can tally up if you were net one way or the other.

The great irony is that 95% of us are laughing at the person staring out at us through the mirror.
 
After thinking on this post – I want to clarify something



Losers come in various forms

The losers on the other thread are people

The loser most important to profitable trading – is small losing trades


But in our minds eye, we cannot differentiate one loser from another – to our subconscious a loser is a loser



So reject, degrade, whatever – one loser (type of loser) – you will (your subconscious will) reject all losers – no matter the form


And I’m here to tell ya – if you can’t take small losing trades willingly – you will never become profitable

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The main thing keeping people on the other thread is– they have not accepted being a loser is okay


I am a loser, and damn proud I am

It wasn't my intention to make fun of losers. I'm sorry if it turned out that way and I hope it stops here. I believe "The best loser is the long-term winner." And often, more can be learned from a losing experience than a winning one. I just find it somewhat sad that there are so many more posts on one subject compared to the other. I'll be glad to join you in priding myself as a loser as well.
