The biggest reason why traders lose money

Why Most Retail Traders Fail (And How Prop Trading Levels the Playing Field)

Most retail traders lose money.

And it’s not because they’re lazy, undisciplined, or incapable.

The real problem is the system they’re trading in.

A small account creates constant pressure to perform.

Pressure leads to emotional decisions.

Emotions lead to overtrading, rule-breaking, and unnecessary risk.

In this EverTips episode, we break down:

• why retail trading is structurally stacked against traders
• how small capital distorts decision-making
• why prop trading creates fairer conditions for growth
• and how structure and rules dramatically improve consistency

You’ll also learn why traders who switch to prop trading often:

• make fewer emotional mistakes
• grow faster and more steadily
• and finally feel like they’re not trading alone
