the fact is like that, even though profit and loss have the same opportunity, but still loss is a certainty and definitely happens in every trading activity that we do, that's why we are advised to use stop loss in each of our transactions.

Loss is not only due to probability but can also be caused by psychological factors, that is why total loss is greater than profit, even many traders experience margin calls, it means that skills and strategies are also important to increase profit and probability opportunities that do exist in forex.

In my opinion not only 76.1% of traders fail but can reach 98% and that's a fact, forex trading is really a good business but people don't know what to do before jumping into forex and how to trade properly, that's why many trades fail and end up with a big loss compared to traders who are able to achieve consistent profits.

Indeed the fact is like that because in trading all the loss that we experience is a certainty while we can only try to maximize profits, if we have a good and profitable system, it is clear that profits will be greater, but conversely if our strategies and our skills fail well then loss will be greater.

the fact is that it is true that losses always occur more often than profits, even though we have tried our best so that the total profit at the end of the period is always greater. Our efforts are likely due to other factors such as psychology so that we are not sure of our abilities and strategies.

loss and profit have the same possibility of appearing, but in fact the loss will appear more often than profit so that the final result is definitely loss even with or without using a strategy. But if it is done with a strategy as well as a stop loss then all that can be reversed.

If we trade without using analysis then the end result is loss, even when we try to trade with a good analysis, the accumulated loss is greater than profit because it does not use the proper stop loss and MM.

The fact is true, I myself have experienced it even by playing dice on a gaming site there will definitely be more losses than winning, indeed in probability it will always be like that.

If seen from my experience the fact is true, I have been trading well and with analysis to my ability but still the amount of loss is greater, it indicates that we still need another strategy and that strategy is risk management.

Indeed not easy to become part as successful trader level, but still many hope in this business as a long-time business, we can trade at home and anytime 

If before more than 90% trader fail, now only 76% as a loser trader, it's mean having development trading skill among traders

the fact is true and the total loss is always greater than the total profit, but the fact is also true that the use of a good stop loss and MM will increase the profit potential and total profit can be greater than the total loss, so always apply a good MM and RM.

Profit accumulation usually does not exceed the accumulated loss when we initially trade because we usually do not have a good strategy and we have not been able to consistently apply the rules and trading plan that we have.

if trading without a good strategy, the total loss will be greater than profit and in my opinion it is also normal considering that in trading there are so many probabilities that loss often dominates, it is rare for novice traders to get a total profit greater than loss especially in the long run.
