Why most beginners lose money, and what the maths says
Public data from regulators consistently shows that a large majority of retail CFD accounts lose money. The reasons are rarely about analysis.
Position size
Risking 10% of an account per trade means five losses in a row, which is normal, removes 41% of the account. Risking 1% per trade means the same streak costs 5%.
Drawdown arithmetic
A 50% loss needs a 100% gain to recover. A 20% loss needs 25%. Keeping losses small is not caution, it is the only way the numbers work.
No written plan
Without written entry, exit and size rules, every trade becomes an emotional decision. The webinar's final week is spent on writing those rules down.
Practical takeaway: decide your risk per trade before you look at a chart, and never change it mid-trade.
