I think the analysis could be improved by excluding people who made a couple of trades worth of a few dollars just as an experiment, etc. This way, leaving only the people who took it somewhat seriously. Even then, the data would be heavily biased - it includes only traders who decided to use eToro AND keep the history public. This is far from a random sample and very biased.

However, I would not be surprised if the actual results (across all brokerages, etc) are close to that, or even more extreme.
