Do you have a source for that stat? Sounds like something you made up.

The percentage that is successful does things differently than the rest.

The honest truth is that success is deterministic. You cant really learn it however hard you try. Some are lucky for short period of times, but successful armchair traders had a long career as pros making money for other people. So a back ground on Wall Street or at a successful hedge fund is very important in my view. You get the odd exception but they are statistically a fart in a storm: small impact.

I learned discipline by being "disciplined" for 8 years by pros.

For anyone doubting by claims above, I have irrefutable proof to convince them to quit day trading.
