Trading Wisdom No. 1 - “90 x 90 Loser Rule”

There are two guarantees in forex trading: You’re guaranteed to make money, and you’re also guaranteed to lose money. As forex trading is a probability game, it either goes up or down, so you are supposed to have a 50 to 50 probability.

However, there is a rule called “90 x 90 Loser Rule” which states that “90 percent of traders will lose their risk capital within their first 90 days of trading”.

Why? Because in reality, most traders ended up losing money due to their failure to see the right perspectives and to trade in the right direction. They fail to learn to take care of the downside, and fail to learn to become a good loser. They just wanted to win from every trade and they didn’t have good risk management mentality.

A simple explanation of trading.

This didn’t’ click for me initially. Like you said, I was just worried about the wins.

I’ve never heard of this one before. I just knew that 90% of traders lose but didn’t realize there’s a time frame. :scream:

You’re missing a third 90! It’s the 90/90/90 rule that you are referring to. 90% of traders lose 90% of their account within 90 days. Or something along those lines.

To me, they will lose all their money, not only 90%! :disappointed_relieved::disappointed_relieved:

90% better than all of it I suppose? :sweat_smile:
