It sounds a bit heartbreaking, but the proportion of retail investors who actually make money in a bull market is only 0.5%. Look at the current number of people entering the market—compared to four years ago, it's only one-fifth, which can be clearly seen from the trading volume data. Among that one-fifth of participants, only one-fifth of them actually make a profit.
To be honest, a bull market is actually the time when retail investors lose money the most. Everyone imagines that a bull market should be full of profit, but that's not true. The more volatile and fluctuating the market, the worse retail investors' losses become. It’s easy to lose composure, make mistakes in operations, and in the end, money just disappears. So next time the market rises, ask yourself first if you're ready.
Once your mindset is disturbed, your hands become cheap. The moments of greatest loss are when you're most confident.
The truth about a bull market is that it tests human nature. Most people simply can't withstand it.
I've heard too many stories, and in the end, they all have the same ending—accounts wiped out.
This data is heartbreaking. The new traders around me who entered the market... well, that's just how it is.

A 1500 ratio? I feel like it's even less
---
This mindset really can't get past, it's too piercing
---
So you still need to have your own strategy, can't follow the trend
---
Large fluctuations indeed easily break people, this time I need to stay calm
---
Those who make money are the ones who have been prepared long ago, when will we retail investors turn things around
---
I've heard the argument that losing money in a bull market many times, but some still don't believe it
---
One-fifth of one-fifth, that probability is really far from me
---
Wake up, don't rush to act when the market comes
---
It's the truth, but how many can really listen?
The bull market really exposes human nature, truly
Honestly, it's a mindset issue; everyone wants to get rich overnight
These numbers make me feel a bit guilty
When volatility is high, I start to shake, then I get liquidated, I've been through it too many times
Not everyone can hold on, I'm the type who gets shaken out
It's always like this—thinking you're the chosen one when prices rise, then regretting it when they fall
Are you ready? I haven't even prepared myself
Actually, the biggest enemy for retail investors is themselves
This ratio is too heartbreaking; I definitely fall into that 99%
So you still have to cut losses, or it's really over
The bull market really exposes human nature, truly.
It's really hitting home, but I think the problem isn't the bull market, it's the mindset.
Another discouragement article, but he's not wrong.
Before entering, first check where your stop-loss line is.
Volatility is like this, can't stop the hands from trembling.
Out of five people, only one survives; with such a low probability, why do we still play?
A slightly poor mindset and a bit more greed, and that's a guaranteed leek.
When the market rises, it's easiest to become overconfident, and that's a problem.
I just want to know how that 0.5% managed to survive.
---
Five per thousand? I feel like I can't even reach that number
---
That hits hard, but the problem is, it’s impossible to stop
---
When volatility is high, it's easiest to slip up, all tears
---
Being prepared is useless, greed is the biggest enemy
---
Whether the data is heartbreaking or not, the key is whether you lost money or not
---
Thinking of all the chives I’ve cut off, hahaha
---
Why am I the one who gets harvested for one-fifth?
---
Bull market anxiety, bear market despair, this is how this circle is
The bull market tests your mentality the most; when volatility is high, your mind just goes blank.
I used to be like that too—when the market rose, I got impatient, followed the trend blindly, and ended up losing the most.
The ones who truly make money are those who can hold back and don't watch the market.
If you're not mentally prepared, no matter how much capital you have, it's all useless.
Wait, this logic seems to have a problem. If there are fewer people, is it even harder to get profits?
Losing money in a bull market is indeed brutal. That's how I got cut.
My mindset collapsed, and all my operations were wrong. A bloody lesson.
Next time the market rises, I need to save some living expenses first, so I don't put my principal at risk again.
Really, the more volatile it is, the easier it is to get trapped when trying to catch the bottom.
This data might still be a conservative estimate; the actual number of people making money could be even fewer.
Retail investors are just here to be the money-losing fate. I realized too late.
I'm now reflecting on those wrong operations. I was too greedy.
---
Just hearing it is outrageous, a shaky mindset and a trembling hand, the fastest to lose
---
So, if you're not prepared and still go all in, then just wait to be wiped out
---
Really, the more volatile it is, the more retail investors lose badly, that's the rule
---
Five per thousand... I bet five bucks I'm not in this
---
Honestly, every time the market takes off, I ask myself if I'm ready, and the conclusion is no
---
The bull market really shows who the damn rookies are, including myself
