Up until recently we all were led to believe that only 5% of people make it in the Forex trading world. Since the new laws by the CFTC, brokers have had to come clean about the percentage of their clients that wins.

Most have a winning percentage of around 25% to 30% with some up to 50%. So the "only 5% make it" is a myth! Now I am not 100% convinced on the figures they released but they are better than previously thought. This led me to question why still 70%+ fail at this business.
