There are studies and statistics on the performance of trading operations, but these can vary depending on the market, the type of trading and the time period analyzed. In general, some of the common observations include:

1. **High percentage of losses**: Several studies indicate that between 70% and 90% of retail traders lose money in the market. This is due to various factors, including lack of experience, emotional influence and commissions.

2. **Few winning trades**: Although many traders close the majority of their trades at losses, a small percentage of successful trades can be profitable enough to offset those losses, especially in strategies such as high-frequency trading.

3. **Duration and type of trades**: Short-term traders (day traders) tend to have a higher proportion of losing trades compared to long-term traders (investors). However, profits on successful short-term trades can be faster and more significant.

It is important to note that these statistics can be influenced by many factors, including the trading strategy used, the discipline of the trader, and the market conditions at any given time. #Futuros #Trading
