Why 90% of Traders Fail (And How To Not Be One)

The setup is not the edge
Most new traders obsess over strategies. But the real edge lives in how you size positions, when you stop, and whether you can execute the same setup 200 times without flinching.
Three habits that separate the 10%
- A written trading plan — reviewed weekly.
- Position sizing rules that cap loss per trade at under 1%.
- A journal with every trade tagged by setup and outcome.
Do those three things for 90 days and you will already outperform most of your peers.
