65%

Skilling's own risk warning says 65% of its retail accounts lose money when trading CFDs with it, according to TradingLookup's CFD Loss-Rate Series (read from the UK on 6 October 2026).

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Each figure is the firm's own statement about its retail clients. Data, not advice.

Quarterly history

Not in our quarterly archive. Skilling joined our list after our quarterly search of the Wayback Machine (2018 to 2026), so its archived copies haven't been searched yet. We'll add any figure we find, each with its Wayback link, and never fill a gap.

From 21 October 2026 our weekly re-read covers this page too; any change goes on the data change log.
