However, keep in mind, the majority of traders end up losing money trading.
Some of the reasons for trader losses are:
1. No valid Trading Plan or not using a good Trading Methodology
2. Poor Risk-Management and the improper use of Stop-Losses
3. Lack of overall Trading Knowledge and Insight
4. A Trading Plan which is not based on Sound Trading Principles
Is it perhaps just a coincidence technical analysis and popular technical Indicators are what most traders use in their trading? What does the sad fact most traders lose money have to do with this? Is there a connection? Yes! There is little doubt there is a strong correlation here!
The fact is the so called science of trading by using technical analysis does NOT give the typical small trader a trading advantage. In fact, it works negatively as none of the many technical analysis type indicators familiar to technical traders really work well in real-time trading!
They may "work" for the technical trader for a while by chance or because the markets signature and trend just happens to be in synch with a technical indicator, at least for a while.
However, you can be pretty well assured it will not stay in synch for very long. Once it gets out-of-synch, the trading losses and drawdowns start for the market technician commodity futures or stocks traders, and eventually they will likely end up losing all their account equity or significant funds.
Let's face it, the sad fact is technical analysis and technical indicators just plain don't work very well (used by themselves), at least with much consistency and without large equity drawdowns and without high risk.
Usually, the only way a technical indicator will work (by itself) as far as long-term trading profits go is if the commodity futures, the stock indices markets or stock market are trending strongly, long-time in one direction, up or down. A futures trader needs lots of discipline, patience and importantly you have deep-pockets to ride out the typical up and down storms, which entail long losing time periods and always possible large size account drawdowns.
For example, a simple moving average sometimes will manage to capture significant market moves. However, there will normally be frequent adverse moves against the major market trend and significant account equity draw-downs, some of which may last for many days, weeks or even months before it goes your way to a good degree.
Please note the above refers to position trades and long-term price charts or bar-charts. If you are a short-term day-trader we can substitute bars for days. In other words, a "day" becomes a 1-minute or 5-minute bar as shown on a day trader's bar-chart, a "week" may be perhaps a 15-minute intra-day bar and a "month" could be perhaps a 30-minute intra-day bar on the day-traders price charts or Trade-station screen.
Please ask yourself this important question: Do you have the discipline, stress level and deep pockets involved in watching a commodity futures contract, a long term options position or perhaps a stock or S&P position move heavily against you for far more days (or many bars, for day-traders) than the days (or bars) which sometimes go your way? Not too likely if you are a typical trader!
You should probably forget about doing much research and spending lots of your time doing market research involving most all technical indicators. Such as Stochastics, MACD, Relative Strength (RSI), Momentum, Moving Averages, Channel Breakouts, Percentage R, Pitch Forks, Fan Lines, Market Waves, Volume Analysis, Keltner Channels, Bollinger Bands, Open Interest Studies, Oscillators and many other (perhaps all) popular technical analysis indicators.
Of course, it's possible to trade successfully but very unlikely if you are a technical trader and depending on technical analysis and using technical indicators. If you're thinking then I will trade based on market fundamentals, forget about it.
Fundamental markets commodity futures traders typically fare no better, often worse, than technical traders. This is because the commercial interests and hedgers know the fundamentals best and they normally trade contra-trend anyway, sometimes for months on end, before fundamental factors finally kick in and are revealed in the commodities price charts.
In can take enormous amount of time (many weeks or months) before real fundamental factors are reflected in the agricultural markets, grain markets, energy markets, metals markets, interest rate markets, stock indices, currency markets, and other financial and commodity markets.
Large commercial interests and physical commodity firms, like food and commodity processors, oil firms, precious metals dealers, banks, etc. (who typically secretly know the true market fundamentals) can trade very long term and hang onto large positions almost indefinitely and incur long term large draw-downs in their hedging and trading as they have very deep pockets, something you no doubt are lacking!
Our related financial web-sites can teach you unique stop-loss methods to reduce risk and avoid large losing trades. Plus, we know a great new way to capture trading profits with predetermined and scientifically based profit target prices. Our low draw-down trading approach minimizes risk but at the same time allows for trading profits.

Remember this as it's critically important - in the Bible (Proverbs), King Solomon said Wisdom and Knowledge is Worth More than Jewels and Silver! This is so very true!

Probably the most famous stock market and commodities market trader of all time, Mr. William D. Gann, also said something quite similar in his writings when Gann said - a trader who has knowledge can lose all his money but still comeback and make a success, thanks to wisdom and knowledge the trader acquired!
