Why Retail Traders Lose — And How Option Scout Flips the Script

Option Scout1/15/2026

The Retail Trap

It’s a statistic everyone knows but ignores: 90% of retail options traders lose money.

Why? Is it lack of discipline? Lack of capital?

Partly. But the biggest reason is Information Asymmetry.

The Institutional Advantage

When a hedge fund executes a trade, they aren't looking at a simple RSI indicator. They have:

  • Real-time order flow data.
  • Algorithmic execution to hide their size.
  • Models that calculate volatility surfaces in microseconds.

When you trade based on a "gut feeling" or a chart pattern from 1985, you are bringing a knife to a nuclear war.
