Most Traders Lose Money

Trading is a zero-sum game. That means that every gain is offset by an equal loss.  It is a widely recognised fact in the Finance industry that, as a result of this, a small percentage of traders make money, fuelled by the losses of the majority of traders.

There have been a number of studies and investigations related to the viability of short-term trading.  The most frequently cited is a study by Richard L. Johnson for the NASAA - An Analysis of Public Day Trading at a Retail Day Trading Firm (9/8/1999).  He concluded that the majority of traders in the study lost money and the vast majority of traders ran the risk of losing their entire stakes.
