I don't think he is a Charlatan, but his results show he can trade and make money.
I also think the vast majority lose at forex, but mingary seems to be of the low % who make money from trading currencies.

What percentage of restaurant start ups fail and what is the average loss to the owners? Can they start with a computer and $1,000 dollars?

You may not compare a "normal bona fide business venture" (like a restaurant startup) to Retail Forex; lest some hopeful soul be mislead !! (:
Correlation does not imply causation!
Therefore, you may compare "oranges to oranges",

Retail forex is essentially a betting game.
In this less than zero sum game like retail forex, the retail market participants part with their money rather quickly, partly due to the low barrier to entry and the constant "come on for a swim the water is fine" type of lies.
Retail forex = glorified casino.

For instance, you are allowed to compare the success rate of "trading in retail forex is my sole source of income" to "playing poker is my sole source of income" as both are betting games and are played in a similar environment.

That is correct you don't need your pots and pans at the poker table.
I think you are confusing Pots and Pans with Plots and Plans ..

and you don't have to, I think that your audited results speak for yourself. I doubt 5% of any self called "successful" trader will provide one if asked.

Mingary has shown himself to be a successful trader already.
Results have not been audited but he has results published on an old thread in Forex Factory.

How many other traders here can show the same?

Many traders fail due to not having a proper trading plan and strategies. They also don’t manage risks and jump into trading without having any fundamental or technical analysis. All these things are really important if you wish to be a successful trader.

As far as I known, there are 80% traders lost money because they choose wrong brokers and it costs them high spreads and no rebate to get, also some non-regulated brokers even steal their money. and the broker do not help their customer to have a future plan about it...

I think many traders lose because of lack of well defined trading strategy and their inability to deal with their own emoitons

Losing money because of a flaw in your strategy is preferable to losing it by way of being scammed.

From my experience i would say because the lack of knowledge in forex and due to choosing wrong broker leads to loss.

When i started as a beginner i made many mistakes and dint try to learn from it but just kept doing it again and again.

when its time to choose a broker in that time they become emotional and take inappropriate decision.

I personally feel there are 2 main points to consider while trading
1) Don't be angry if you start losing- You will start placing more trades inorder to be in green again and that will just be the downfall. Better to take a day off and look where exactly you went wrong.

2) If your not sure about your entry trade dont take it- Better to be safe than sorry.
