99% of all traders eventually deplete their accounts. Using this fact
can't one setup a type of '''options contract on traders''? A trader
and couter party enters into an agreement that if the trader executes
a certain number of margined trades over a period gaining 30%, the
counter party will give him an extra 30%. If the trader though turns
negative he must pay the counter party 30% of the margined account or
whatever is agreed on.

Any ideas?

Interbank FX Reveal Most Traders Lose Money

http://trading-gurus.com/interbank-fx-reveal-most-traders-lose-money/

To a first approximation, if trading forex involves no skill and is in
fact random, then the percentage of Interbank FX's customers who have
sole control of their own accounts who are profitable for a year is
33% of 28% of 27% of 28%, which works out to be rather less than 1%.
