🧠 WHY DO 97% OF TRADERS LOSE MONEY IN THE MARKET?
And what should you truly prepare before you begin?
You’ve probably heard this one before:
“97% of traders lose money.”
Not because they’re not smart.
Not because they lack a good strategy.
But because they enter the market with the wrong mindset and unrealistic expectations.
❌ The market is not a gold mine — not for everyone
Many people step into trading thinking:
“Forex is a money printer. Anyone can just come in and take what they want.”
But here’s the truth:
👉 The market doesn’t hand out profits. It takes money from the unprepared and gives it to the disciplined.
It doesn’t care about your dreams — it only respects your readiness.
💸 You will lose money — and it will sting
Even if you believe your strategy is solid, it will fail at some point.
And when it does, the price you pay is real money — your own money.
And because it’s your hard-earned money, you’ll feel the pain. You’ll get emotional.
You’ll want to get it back. You’ll enter trades impulsively.
And that’s exactly when the market will drag you by the nose.
⚠️ The biggest mistake: thinking a good strategy is enough
Most new traders believe:
“Once I have a working strategy, I’ll be consistently profitable.”
But the truth is:
Every strategy fails sometimes
The market doesn’t follow your logic
A bad entry isn’t what ruins you — refusing to cut the loss is
🧘♂️ So what should you actually prepare before trading?
If you’re about to start trading — or afraid to fail early — make sure to prepare:
✅ A solid foundation of knowledge
✅ A mindset that accepts loss without losing control
✅ The ability to say: “It’s okay to lose a trade — I just need to survive long enough to learn and grow.”
📌 Other people’s strategies won’t make you profitable
Yes, I often share my outlooks, plans, and even potential entry zones.
But always remember:
My view is just a perspective — not a guarantee of success.
Trading is personal.
You’ll only become consistently profitable when:
You trust in a system you’ve practiced yourself
You take trades because you see the logic, not because someone else agrees with you
🔄 Trading is a process: Try – Fail – Learn – Repeat
I’ve lost. I’ve been stubborn. I’ve gotten emotional.
And I learned:
You don’t need to win all the time.
You just need to survive your losses and come back smarter.
A stop-loss isn’t failure.
It’s the most mature decision you can make in a chaotic environment.
🤝 I won’t promise that you’ll make money
The knowledge I share — the views I post —
may not make you rich.
But I believe:
They can help you avoid losing money needlessly.
Don’t believe anyone 100% — not even me.
Take what you learn, test it, and turn it into your own conviction.
That’s how you grow.
❤️ Final thoughts
Trading isn’t a game of prediction — it’s a test of psychology.
You don’t have to be the best trader.
You just need to protect your capital, protect your mindset, and keep showing up.
Wishing you all a peaceful weekend with your loved ones.
Tomorrow, we return to the market — sharper, calmer, and more disciplined.
The market will always be there. The real question is: will you still be here to trade it next month, next year?
