All fun aside, it would be interesting to see how many Wizetrade users make money...but I think the "95%" rule is still in effect.
I wonder how many new business start-ups fail in the first year? What, is it like 95 percent? HOLY CRAP! I demand that NOBODY start a new...
I used to work for a direct access broker, not IB though. Yes, 95 percent of retail traders lose money. I fail to see how this is new news...
