> **Visual Context:** The image, titled "How many traders actually end up in profit?", compares profitability rates across four trading platforms: FOMO at 6.16% (18,152 of 294,742 traders over 90 days), Polymarket at 7.45% (188,311 of 2,258,437 all-time), Pokémon TCG gacha at 20.0% (about 1 in 5 sealed-box resales above cost), and Hyperliquid at 26.57% (21,944 of 82,586 active traders in 2026). This visual reinforces the post's point that across diverse markets—meme coins, prediction markets, collectibles resales, and derivatives—only a small minority of participants actually profit, highlighting the difficulty of trading for most people.

> "Here's an interesting data point on trading.

From meme coin traders, prediction markets, to derivatives.

Only a fraction of people actually end up in profit.

On one side, trading is real if you can be in the top 1%.

On the other side, most people do too much, only to lose"
