Over 90 percent of retail day traders lose money.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that over 90 percent of retail day traders lose money?

Unclear. One source reports that about 80 percent of Taiwanese day traders lose money in any given year, and a trading book states that average retail traders lost money despite high win rates. Neither source addresses the specific 90 percent threshold for retail day traders.
