Why 90% Traders Fail: 1 Mistake to Avoid

Jai Siya Ram http://www.fxlive.in/ Why 90% Traders Fail: 1 Mistake to Avoid ✅ Introduction: Set the Hook Trading promises freedom and profits — but the reality is harsh. Studies and broker stats show that over 90% of retail traders lose money consistently. The good news? Most fail due to just one fatal mistake — and that means it can be fixed. ❌ The #1 Mistake: Lack of Risk Management It’s not bad strategies. It’s not wrong indicators. It’s not lack of signals. 👉 The real killer is poor risk management. 🔍 Let’s Break It Down: 1. 💸 Overleveraging Traders risk 30–50% of their capital in a single trade hoping for big gains. One bad move = blown account. Proper rule: Never risk more than 1–2% of your capital per trade. 2. 🔄 No Stop-Loss Many traders enter trades without stop-loss orders, letting losses grow uncontrolled. Result: Hope becomes strategy. Accounts go to zero. 3. ⚖ No Position Sizing Buying the same lot size every time, regardless of account size or volatility? Recipe for disaster. Solution: Adjust lot size as per SL and capital. Use a calculator. 4. 📉 Revenge Trading After one loss, trying to "get it back" emotionally — doubling size, breaking rules. Truth: Markets don’t care. Emotions kill accounts. 🧠 Professional Traders Think in Probabilities You won’t win every trade — but with risk management, you’ll survive and grow.
