There are lots of reasons why 90% of traders fail,mostly because they have no formal training ,when your up against the brightest in the industry ,the latests news ,insider knowledge,you can't expect to jump into the ring with mike tyson and not get whacked,unless you know his weakness ,learn his moves inside out,plus someone has to pay for wall street Fundamentals are skewed and bad news is only released after top managers have sold their own stock,companies lie all the time.I have a whole list of the things you need to look at first even before fundamentals,examine the board of directors...

It's true you guys in the US get a raw deal on trading,here in Europe theres less control on many levels,you started your robot at a great time,no wonder it's working great ,you picked the bottom!

Options Get an internship at a financial trading company,even if your stuck in the back office ,you will learn so fast the other side of what goes on,it will open your eyes,if you can't get in ,find an ex trader who is teaching and trading their own account,see evidence of returns.Watch them trading live,listen to them explain the setup.You can spend years learning the hard way plus lose lots of money.Be lucky!

Dont get to hung up on win ratio,as long as your winning trades are bigger than your lossing trades,you can have a 40% win ratio and still be in profit.True professional traders do aim for 70% no less,2% loss on a retail trade,5% on a portfolio ,mess up on risk management and your security card gets deleted during lunch break.Be lucky!

That's funny because my friend ,former Goldman sacks trader was just telling me about a trade he's setting up,I can even give you the details if you want.I don't know what way they trade in your country.we have a saying"you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink".
