(Why) do most traders lose?

[yoohoo]

There's only one reason sober people crash cars - they are bad drivers. And there's only one reason people crash on the markets - they are bad traders. There's a million ways to crash, but the same outcome. The more important question is what's the remedy?

they do not have the hypostomus hyposculator which will keep whacking the money that is available in the markets. (this in addition to following the grobledegook system from Jack)

that´s not true bro. Lots of people crash because someone else is a bad driver. {think about it, bad drivers have to crash against someone... and they usually dont wait to find another bad driver}
There´s a ton of different outcomes from crashing your car... from fixing a dent in your bumper, to taking a free ride to the morgue... or life in prision for killin innocent pedestrians... however, most of them do suck if you think about it.
