Wouldn't it make mathematical sense to do the exact opposite of what you were going to do in trading according to statistics?

You read all these articles about the majority of stock market traders losing money but couldnt you use this knowledge of mathematical statistics to your advantage?

If 90% of day traders lose money in the long run. Then wouldn't it be a good idea just to do the opposite of what your instincts are telling you to do when you trade? For example, you short a stock if your instincts are telling you to buy and buy a stock when your instincts are telling you to short.

If everyone applied this concept to their trading strategy, wouldn't the new statistic be that 90% of day traders would gain money in the long run?
