Why Trader's Loose Money !!!!!!!

Dear All,

Almost 95% of traders loose money in Market.

Reason are plenty ..........but we discuss few of them

If have answers to following question then only you making succesfully in trading else you are loosing money .


1.Why Trading ......... Have you ever asked yourself why you want to trade ??

2. Your Style of Trading .... Positional / Swing / Intra day ??

3.What's your Edge in Trading ???

4.How much time you devote In studying Markets ??

5.Have you define which markets will you trade ???

6.On what basis you decide to enter into a trade ???

7.Exit criteria ??

8. Money Management rules ??

9. Position sizing ???

10. Are you having a Written Trading Plan ??

Trading is Business nothing else .............if your expenses are high (losses) then you will not earn profit in a business ......same apply to Trading also

Most people thing that only way of making money in trading is to have 10 out 10 or 10 out of 8 trades to be successful ............it is absolutely wrong

let me give you example ..

let say i put 10 trades with 40% accuracy

Winning trades 4 with an average profit of 6 rupees per trade ---4*6=24

Loosing trades 6 with average loss of 1 ruppes each 6*1=6

Profit in 4 trades =24

loss in 6 trades = 6

Net Profit =18 rupees


so see even if your accuracy rate is only 40% you still make good money ......so if any body claiming 90% and 99% accuracy he is fooling you this is blunt truth that most people dont understand

If you follow this mantra only you will make money " cut your loss fast and let your profit run"

very easy to say but very difficult to follow .

Most Advisory people claim 90%---99% accuracy ...........use your common sense if any body has this kind of winning ratio he will become multi millionare in very short time and why he will sell his advice .

"Trading is all about Probablities never certainity "

People sell magic software , claims giving operators tips ............and catch greed of innocent traders

"Consistent money always comes from hard work "


Hope you find this post useful !!!!!
