What is Retail accounts that lose money?

The retail loss percentage is the share of retail CFD accounts with CFD firms that lose money. Regulators ask firms to publish it as a warning, since it describes the odds for the typical account rather than the best case.

The figures here cluster in a narrow band. Capital.com reports 65% and CFI reports 66%. ActivTrades sits higher at 84%, with Abf Trade Eu at 66.7% and Axi at 67.24%.

Losing is the more common outcome across the group, which is why position sizing matters more than entry ideas.
