Why Only 10% of Stock Traders are Successful (and 90% Fail)

[@michealgraham8109]

Very brilliant explanation, I am a year and half into investing in Stock and ETFs which has been a journey, currently at 75% of my goal for the year at $35k. I am thinking long term.

[@Arief351]

That is great growth, how do one get in to understand this, I am new and know nothing about it. I want different sources of income.

[@michealgraham8109]

You can get into it, I work with an executive trade expert Mr Eddy Bruke. you can look him up if you want to, he’s the best bet at success in the market. Eddybruke .info

[@mattdoeland]

If the 90% failure is true then the 90% really aren't traders - they're failing amateur gamblers. Trading is a business, why would anyone start a business without knowledge of the business.

[@mattdoeland]

I agree with most of what you've said, however there aren't many occupations in which there is exclusively a 90% failure rate. Unless there is a consistency that repeats the consistent tried & true implementations - & rules, (which by the way have zero to do with fantastical goals) the failure rate will continue on from now until forever. My concern is that whilst ever the 90% believe the 'gurus' the 90% will remain failing.

[@michaelinzo]

Matt Doeland they probably saw some youtube or instagram video guy living a dream trading stock market etc. and they want to ride the hype train without any knowledge or experience trading. Those fucking Tim Sykes, Cameron, Kunal etc. fuckin traders selling false information.

[@melia8]

Matt Doeland it hasnt been easy finding actual info on how to trade and what things mean and most people dont want to help you learn so... so people just jump in and hope for the best.

[@kingmike40]

From what I have witnessed and done myself is that I and others allow losses to get too big. Cut losses fast, a few percentage points 3 to 5% and be patient with winners. Winners can become losses so set stop loss or watch closely. If you go set on the toilet for 5 minutes you might lose thousands. Set a number to sell at. If you decide on $400 daily profit than sell when a stock/option makes 400 in a day. I usually sell anything I have that makes me a double I might not sell all of the shares but I will sell 50 to 75 percent of anything that makes me a double. Especially if it happens on same day or the next day after the purchase. Don't listen to the talking heads on TV and most internet "experts" are dangerous to your wealth. I have been living off of my trades for almost 2 years. I don't have a formal education in trading or business. I was a crane operator and a truck driver and decided that there had to be something better for my life. I don't care about hitting the big numbers I have had weeks that I made 29,000 and months that I have lost 42,000. I started with 3500 trading options in 2006. Believe it or not this does get boring. So get a hobby.

[@ElenaDelgadoREALEXCEL]

Hej Mike, will you share with me where you self educated yourself to trade options? I am also interested in trading options and starting small. What would be the best advice you would give to someone who is just starting out to learn this trade ?

[@kingmike40]

I learned by doing. I looked up the basics and went from there. The market was better, a strong bull, when I started so that helped. The market now is more volatile. I put on a trade and I sell the same day or the next day. I used to hold options for a few days to a few weeks but not with this volatility. Get a cash account not an margin account. Margin accounts are controlled by pattern day trading rules.

[@Stayler17]

Why is the market volatile. Will it get worse and more complicated or is it just a wave of ups and down as years pass by?

[@austinismadcrunk]

[@bigbadbandana366]

Completely agree with the specializing. I started trading earlier this year (CFD) First i was trying to chase trends,didn't work. Then i decided to focus on tech, as i've been heavily interested into tech anyways, but it was usually that i made a lot on one trade, and then lost it on another. Now i'm focussing solely on 2 companies, which i'm swing trading, and this is finally paying of. I made about 1800% return of investment so far this year, so i'm doing pretty good now. So i'd say focus on 2/3 companies and read up on EVERY rumour, then trade based on that, and always keep an eye out for other potential fast growers, put them on your watch list and jump in once you feel comfortable with the stock.

[@MrTruth111]

ab de, what you do is a different strategy, Big Bad Bandana has a working strategy for himself. And btw you are investing, and not trading. Having a specific strategy where you become the sole expert is always good. I am learning gap trading, it is very dangerous, but I love the fast action. Before that I had no strategy. The first stock I bought... NOTHING happend for a week, I sold it, and then it went up 200%. Then I bought a stock and it went down 20% the next day. You need a strategy. I would concider it a complete nightmare trying to manage 20 stocks. I have a watchlist with 10 stocks that I watch every hour and I buy the dips alongside my gaptrading the open.

[@richwilson7507]

Do not marry a stock but you can date 2 or 3 stocks as long as the benefits dont end.

[@realblackbetty2204]

Be conservative, don’t be greedy, set realistic goals and get out = >90% success.

So true. Many of my losing trades were winners initially, and i did not take my profit (greed).

Greetings on which market do you recommend to start focusing my studies as a trader ? Should I focus on learn about options or stocks or futures first? Thanks !

[@smacpost3]

Learn technical analysis. Study and spend a lot of time in front of your charts. Develop a strategy and practice it until you are winning most of the time. Charts are charts, and tech analysis overlaps different instruments. Stocks might be easiest, there is more volatility and less noticeable institutional influence. But until you decide, get that chart time in.

[@michaeldadon2325]

It’s scary how spot on accurate this is... I been studying stocks for about 3 months now and then my buddy instantly tries to get me to get into options trading when I haven’t fully grasped the concept and perfected regular stocks and I lost some money because of it... watching this made me realize u really can’t listen to nobody. Just because someone learns something one way and quickly doesn’t mean the other person will. Thank you for the video and the great advice

[@whis5448]

Stock market is transferring of money from the impatient to the patient. It is so true as those impatient would normally sell-off at the low and buy in at the high as they are emotional and easily gave in to fear and then lose whatever little money they have.

[@63Baggies]

it's a verrryy long winded way of saying that one needs to specialise, focus and be tenacious.

[@garylarson5087]

Agree, A lot of words repeated over and over, a theme of these videos. Good advice, buy very long winded.

I think you are exactly correct. Find one winning strategy, stick to it and fine tune it until you are master of it. Once consistent profitability is achieved, then the trader can move to the next strategy if desired, to widen the playing field.

Absolutely! Well said.

This video is much more than the title suggests. The advice in the video is for anything in life and not just trading. This reminds me of Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor; it offers such a simple advice, that you find yourself thinking "Why do people not follow it?"

Hi Sasha, if I'm doing well with swings do you see any problem with moving into Options? My goal is to be play those two positions and do well with them.

[@tradersflyofficial]

Some people do better with options and are better suited than they are at swing trading so I don't see a problem with moving into options even early on. It's more of a question of what food you like. Some people are just vegetarians and other people like to cook on the barbecue. It's just a matter of personal preference but one is a little more complicated than other to cook

[@WupeViasco]

Aerohk just buy oversold stocks under $5 that have fallen considerably with an rsi that falls below the 30 line set that as your support. Wait for a bullish candle that engulfs a red candle. Set your stop loss below your support and sell 50% of your profits when it grows 4% and let the rest continue. Only trade when the market is green. It's really simple. You do that over and over again you'll become profitable.

I started trading paper money starting with stocks. Started with 1m and went negative 1st day, 2nd day i made some gains but not enough as i liked 1%) so i started shorting and did 8% gain... we are in a bear like market so i suppose that helped but from 1m i went a little under 1mi the first day then the next couple days i was above the s&p to 1.2m but now im at a little over 1.1mil on the fifth day of trading. Now i recently learned about trading options and i grasped the concept of it although it was difficult at first but the potential to make a lot of money motivated me to understand the procedure and i learned in 2 days. mind you, i was never trained or educated or knowledgeable of the market before i started but its a promising industry to make some money and i will continue to see where it will lead me.

It's really a perception of the analogy. Yes, putting the time into it and staying with it is the most important part, but the thing that makes people stop or get out is the money. The analogy of a sport, or even a business isn't quite the same thing. It's a whole different thing when the biggest thing you lose is your time and effort. Even in an unsuccessful business your losing money yes, but it is hidden behind the time and effort your putting into it until one day your broke. With trading, your literally watching your money grow or disappear, and its in real time and that is enough to scare the hell out of most people once they are broke or things are not going the way they'd like. That's the main reason people stop trading.
