Why does the Vast Majority of Traders Fail in the Financial Markets?
Psychological overwhelm
You have been intensively involved with the markets for years and have long been an expert in technical and fundamental analysis. And yet you still don't manage to trade profitably and increase your trading capital. You regularly suffer setbacks and simply don't make any progress. The emotional roller coaster ride wears on your nerves. It has been proven that the overwhelming majority of traders lose money in the market. Traders fail due to emotional overload.
Lack of a trading business model
Trading is a tough business that needs to be systematically planned. The costly subscriptions of market newsletters or automated trading strategies are not a shortcut. Those who have the expectation of making a lot of money as quickly as possible and without much effort will fail. Without a solid business plan for your trading activities it does not work. Realistic goals, tested strategies and your set of rules are the rock in the emotional surf of unpredictable markets.
The path is not the destination
Most beginners get started without thinking about what they actually want to achieve with trading. Here, the question of why is crucial. A second financial pillar? Financial independence? Retirement Provision? What motivates you, what drives you? Only those who know their goals in trading will also find the path, i.e. the strategies and the trading approach that lead to the goal. All your attention, energy and trading activities are aligned to the achievement of your goals.

Trading - A development process
Forget the promises of the many service providers in the market. You will not become a profitable trader overnight. You won't become rich overnight either. It is a development process that requires a lot of patience and perseverance. The skills required for trading success are not innate. It is a learning process, professionally and mentally. Success comes about gradually. And then it can no longer be stopped. Despite all the setbacks in the meantime. In the beginning, there are rules and processes. The money follows.
Know your trader personality
Successful trading is all about personality development; it challenges you to break with established habits and beliefs. It's about much more than keeping your emotions under control and maintaining self-discipline. Trading is fundamentally a question of character, i.e. a personality test and not an intelligence test. Emotional stability and the knowledge of one's own strengths and weaknesses offer the much higher return potential. In practice, there are more profitable strategies than profitable traders.
