Out of every hundred people drawn to trading, ninety lose their capital fast. Ninety-nine walk away after months of struggle. Only one percent actually make it. The difference? Those who succeed don't shy away from pain. They stick to their rules when everything in them wants to break them. They treat losses like lessons, not disasters.

Most people quit the game. They can't handle the swings, the string of bad calls, the psychological toll. But the ones who endure? They shift. They adjust. They learn what worked, discard what didn't, and come back harder.

It's not about being smarter. It's about staying when everyone else cracks.

Honestly, a 1% chance sounds outrageous; I feel like it's even lower.

No matter how eloquently you put it, it can't change the reality that 99% go bankrupt. No matter how good your mindset is, you need capital to survive that 1%.

You're right, mindset is the life and death line of trading. Most people lack mental resilience; a single loss makes them start doubting themselves. One word: endure. Those who can survive are tough. That's why I insist on keeping a trading journal, using every mistake as a negative lesson. While others complain about the market, we are optimizing strategies. The only two characteristics of truly profitable people are being cold-blooded enough and patient enough. It may sound contradictory, but it actually complements each other. It's not about talent, but about having a strong ability to withstand blows. I have deep personal experience with this.

That's really heartbreaking; 99% of people simply can't endure the explosive mental state during the first three months.

It sounds quite motivational, but what about reality? Most people can't even make it to the "adjustment" stage.

It sounds very reasonable, but to be honest, 99% of people go bankrupt not because of a lack of perseverance, but because they chose the wrong direction. Sticking to the wrong rules is suicide, and this point is not clearly explained in the article. Among the 1% who survive, how many of them are due to luck? No one wants to ask this question.
