Loss Scores


Recommended Posts

One of the more stupid ESMA rulings was the introduction of a broker declaration of percentage of clients losing money. I say stupid because any basic search would have come up with a industry wide figure of around 85%, most know this and most know they will probably blow their first and maybe second accounts anyway.

Also, it's a bit like a table of surgeon's results, if you want to be top of the table don't take on the higher risk patients.

And so that is how it's turning out, the industry standard for taking all comers is around 79% while firms who choose to be a bit more selective come out with slightly better figures;

Would be interesting to see if anyone spots a broker wildly outside this range.

eToro has the lowest percentage of losing clients that I've seen so far. 65% doesn't sound as bad if you think of it as 1 in 3 clients are in profit, especially when compared to the '90% of retail traders are losers' figure so often bandied about. Maybe there actually is some value in automatic copy trading.

I’d love to hear the percentage for regular share dealing accounts... altho people just sit on their losses with that so you’d need to snapshot everyone’s running PnL and net acc value

    • Because of this, it's wise for traders to thoroughly investigate exchanges before choosing one. I exclusively deal with cryptocurrency exchanges that have declared proof of reserve in the wake of the unfortunate events that saw some go bankrupt and others hack. Because of what I've heard traders say about Bitget and the fact that it met my requirements, I had to start using it right away. Therefore, I'd advise DYOR to choose whatever best meets your needs.
    • The Santa Rally – Christmas Growth in the Stock Market. You may well of heard of the ‘Santa Rally’. It’s a commonly discussed stock market theory. It is the basic concept that the stock markets, particularly the major indices, show positive returns on the run up to Christmas and the New year. Myth or legend? We look at the stats.  As you can see from the below table the FTSE100 rose in price in 12 of the 15 years. That’s 80% of the time. The average difference was 1.95% https://moneysandi.com/the-santa-rally-christmas-growth-in-the-stock-market/ Anyone had any experience of trading this?  #trading #money #trader #investing #investment #crypto #stockmarket #stocks #business #invest #entrepreneur #finance #investor #daytrader #daytrading #trade  #wallstreet #wealth #santarally #finance
    • It all boils down to the exchange's dedication to protect customers' assets. Apparently these exchanges that haven't recorded any hacks for 5+ years of functioning like the case of the first exchange you mentioned, are working behind the scene to make it happen. HTX and the likes need to do more and save the industry’s reputation already.
