It is possible 99% of traders lose , internet evidence shows 95 % of traders lose.It maybe as much as 99 % lose due to psychology.
Psychology is 100% of trading success. This is because the human with a mind is going to execute the trades and a trader’s brain command center makes all the trading decisions.The brain’s command center can shut down due to stress responses , in the middle of a trade. Emotions can override rational trading rules, systems and methods taught by educators. If the trader's brain command center shuts down in a stress response , all the technical stuff is useless and worthless. The mind of the trader controls his success.
Traders lose because they are not psychologically prepared to lose. In effect, they are not able to accept the loss of money over something in which they have no control of the outcome.

Your subconscious mind will take over your trading ,during live trading , it will act like a autopilot with conscious awareness , blocking your rational brain and rational trading decisions , to protect you and your account from a loss .These actions by your subconscious are to fight, flight or freeze, if applied at the wrong time, all of which can be irrational decisions, acting irrationally against trader's best rational decisions. Planning and executing involve different skills that draw upon different parts of the brain. Planning the trade is largely a function of your intellect, the prefrontal cortex PFC. You create your plan in a relatively calm state of mind with your PFC in charge. But when it comes time to execute the plan, other areas of your brain will become involved.

subconscious emotional trade executions
Our emotions have helped us immeasurably over the course of human evolution. Emotional responses are milliseconds faster than cognitive (thinking) responses; the lightning-fast reactions that bypass the rational brain centers were often survival responses for our distant ancestors. The limbic brain sends us the warning of a crisis before the rational brain can even process the incoming signal: the body has been alerted and is ready to act on our behalf. Our emotional brain takes over trade executions ,blocks the rational brain and behaves to the detriment of the trader and the systems to be executed.The prefrontal cortext holds the circuitry we need for abstract thought. It allows us to concentrate on the task at hand while storing useful information in temporary storage for later on. It also prevents you from performing inappropriate actions and is basically the command center for the brain. subconscious emotional trade executions
