Why Do 90% of Traders Lose in Derivatives?

It’s one of the harshest stats in the market: nearly 90% of retail traders lose money in derivatives. The question is why? The answer isn’t that they’re careless or unintelligent—it’s that they step into a professional arena without professional training.

Derivatives are designed for institutions. They move on auction logic, time-price-volume interactions, and strategic positioning. Retail traders, meanwhile, rely on candlestick charts or internet tips, chasing price without understanding the underlying structure. They’re not unlucky—they’re unprepared.

The Vtrender E-Course was built to close that gap. In 12 structured lessons, it teaches traders how markets actually move, why price alone isn’t enough, and how to recognize institutional intent using MarketProfile and Orderflow. Instead of chasing, traders begin to anticipate, trading only where risk is defined.

Testimonial: “I realized I was part of the 90% because I was untrained. This course gave me the foundation I needed to finally stop bleeding.” – Ramesh Iyer, NSE options trader

Outcome: Traders move from blind participation to informed execution, improving their odds of joining the small minority who win consistently.
