I was thinking this morning and trying to used my trading experienced in analyzing my past performance in trading but I came to conclusions that most times that I lose,  my predictions of market directions is right just that something unexpected happened along the way.
Because of this unexpected reactions in market cycles that is why we should learn on how to manage risk.  Since there are many indicators and we can not used all of them at the same time I believe that there is no way we would be successful in trading except we learned how to manage risk and reduce our risk as minimum as possible.
2019, is here,  are we going to continue in losing trade?  I have decided to love my capital more than profits this year and I am not going to take much risky trade this year.

Imo, every lose on trading is trader fault. Yeah i lose a lot too in trading, i already do analyze and etc but still lose. I can't blame market or other thing such as something 'unexpected', its just me not doing more deep analyze and too greedy with profit. With this, i can easily learn from my mistakes and thats how trader should do in my opinion.

Its on record that some big boys 'whales' do manipulates the market thus invalidates a profitable trade to loss, I have read many articles and stories as regards that issue and based on my experience in forex trading and there is nothing a trader can do to stop such an occurrence  I am not saying that it happens regularly but there are cases of such happening once in a while hence proper money management and a stop loss is essential in curbing excessive losses.

I also think every loss it is the fault of the trader it self. It means you entered the market at the wrong time. Myself I execute 50-100 trades myself daily but I follow certain indicators and already exit again if I make 0.5-1% profits on a trade. At this time in a bear market it is just to unpredictable what the market is going to do. So better take small profits than chase bigger cause your balance will get burned.

Markets are indeed unpredictable. Nobody should expect a perfect win rate. A 50% win rate can be profitable as long as you manage your risk correctly.

At the same time, don't make excuses for yourself if your trading strategy needs work. You should always be learning and backtesting new strategies, and ideally surrounding yourself with other traders who will challenge your biases. Yes, the market is unpredictable, but the more you improve your signals and reduce noise, the more predictable it becomes.

You are not alone, and I think we have the same in these situations. We need to learn more about trading, and we need to learn about making analysis, analyze the trend and many more. I believe that we have a delay in the success and the success will come to us, you don't have to worry.

And, we are now in 2019 which we have much time to trying to make a profit like other traders. I am sure that if we have a problem, it will always a way to solve the problem so we could keep surviving. Many things we need to learn and it's not just in trading itself, but we need to control ourselves not to panic when something bad happens.

Its not your fault if you lost on trading once but if you lose always and doesnt recover, thats ypur fault. If that happens, quit trading and start a new career outside this kind of environment. Trading is not for you. Why do you trade in the first place if you always gave your money to the market. We should always think smart to live in this kind of market.

trading is a game of chances, too.  the risks are really great!  this is reality.

Losing on your trade is always your fault, it is your money and you make a decision on where you want to put it or use it and you cannot blame anyone if you lose because of the strategy you have used. You can't also say the market is the reason why traders lose, because no one can predict on what will happen to cryptocurrency market, and sometimes you might see a good signs that will make the price go up but the result doesn't go that way. Also if you lose multiple times in trading, meaning that you have problems on your strategy or doing it wrong, you should learn from your mistakes.

It is not always your fault in trading because there are instance that is beyond your skills, but you can't really always blame the market if your trading always goes wrong.

Trading is tough and noone fits perfectly to requirements of this speculative market. Losing is part of game so accepting it will be  big plus for traders. Professional trader knows how to handle losses which mainly increase due to emotional nature of human pyschology. Emotions should be controlled by traders who wanna to achieve his trading plan.

Technical analysis is just one of the many parts in trading. We can't just rely on the technical analysis we need to control our emotions, and market psychology to contribute to our trade decision.it is indeed risk management play a big part in cryptocurrencies market since its a speculative market.

Losing? Is somewhat we all experience at this days.  Losing won't be the way to loss our hope and always think of nothing in the future. For me,  it encourage me and to find ways that could made me profitable even in the dips.
Many were losing and they just leave easily, which is absolutely wrong.
Losing is a part of our trading journey,  that's why we should accept it and not to be way to make us down.

We can't blame anyone but ourselves if we either lose or win. Those unexpected events is beyond our control so obviously, we can't do anything about it.

And as how much or how deep our analysis of the market, it might do on other directions because this market is based on speculation plus there's the factor of manipulation as well. In addition if we did mistakes in the past so let that be a lesson and hope that we learn something out of it so that we won't repeat. So best of luck to all traders this 2019.

I think you are confusing yourself between trading and investing for a long term. If you trade and make losses, then it is clear that you are actually doing something wrong or made some bad calls. If you are doing short term trading, then you can easily cut out your losses. You have full control over your investment during trading and can control your losses to full extent.
On other hand, if you are making loss in your long term investment due to sudden change in market, then it is not completely your fault since you would have no control over it.

Or perhaps you're wrong for not expecting these so called unexpected events. Making losses from time to time is not your fault because it happens to the very best traders but making an overall loss is generally going to be an indication that you're doing something wrong.

We are all doing trading not to lose money but rather we are striving to earn profits. Unexpected events do happen like price reversal on what we have predicted
which isn't a surprising thing.Proper risk management is always been a crucial thing to consider anytime because if you do lack this kind of thing then expect handling your
capital would really be very difficult.

Your actions were the cause of your losses, but you shouldn't blame yourself. As a trader, you know that such thing might happen and there's a possibility that you will lose all of your investments.

I know that whenever a token/coin price went up and you sold at a lower price, most traders (if not all) think that "if only I waited and didn't sell yet, I should have gained more......." something like that or vice versa when you bought. I experienced that, but realized that thoughts like "if only" will just make you regret and blame yourself more which is not good. We have our own techniques in trading, but regardless of that, think carefully before buying/selling (decide the coin/token and the price to sell/buy) and be contented with the outcome (don't worry too much about the price being higher/lower after my orders were filled). That's what I do.

PS. I'm not that kind of trader that uses TA, signals etc. as the basis of my trading decision. I just go with the flow whenever the market is active.

This is exactly what I have been trying to tell people! Your experience and expertise doesn't matter in bitcoin, you can be an amazing trader, you have no fault in the trading because there are things that nobody expects happening in bitcoin. How could anyone have guessed someone would sell a ton of bitcoin all at once when Craig did it, everything looked like bitcoin price was bound to go up and 6.5 thousand looked like the minimum bitcoin will be and it was all sunshine however one unexpected thing led to another and here we are the price is low.

Nobody, not even warren buffet could make great trades too many times in a row in bitcoin. A friend of mine turned 0.7 bitcoins into 40 bitcoins and lost about 15 bitcoins recently, he is still in profit but even the best traders will lose money eventually because unexpected things keep happening in this space.

Risk is not a big problem mate you will have to be ready for it so be brave and face those risk to obtain the great output from your talent and skill as a trader. Those who loose only Because they are selling at panic. It is not good to trade at panic mean.  So never make this fault to sell at fallen price as this act make people lose specially the New users.

True, sometimes kissing in trading may not be your fault but still yet,  there is still a huge possibility that a lot of traders contributed to their many loss because of implusive selling and buying of cryptocurrency.

Everyone has an obligationas a trader. If you are trader you need to promote your coin that you have to up the value if you sell your coins you lose your money too and other will be affected and they will lose their money also because they affected on the dumping price.

Our method could be same when predict the price movement but indeed crypto was unpredictable but blamed the market when we loss is not good because the fault also belongs to us the traders and rather than blamed someone when we lost then we have to review again our trading results to avoid upcoming loss

How do you promote a coin you're hodling?,and what form of trade does this your analysis relate to,if you're a long term trader you buy coins with the intention of selling later,whie short term traders move coins in and out stacking up little profits most times,i do not see how one can promote a coin.
I think only when whales/people who own large assets either sell or buy that the price and value of a coin could be affected,if you own a less significant amount,your sale wouldn't change much

I think that you have no wrong in marlet predictions let say you think it will up from this point and it is a high chance to up but, the thing is your mind and emotions which was definitely affecting most of your decision making in buying or selling. My experience is good from traditional trading but once i tried margin trading i am losing for a span of 4 months and now i feel like im going back to natural trading and manage my emotion again.

I agree.

Manage your risk. Know what you are stepping unto. Do not just jump into conclusions or just in an imaginary profit.
Always go for the impossible. Be prepared for what could happen and not just being dragged by pumps and dumps.

that's a good thought. Because most traders lose money because they are not careful in financial management. that's true, most of them invest with emotion and don't know how to cut losses.
This is also a great lesson for traders who failed in 2018.

I agree on your statement. I suggest must accept the fact and stop repenting on your faults because it's normal especially  risking money by doing trading which is  since  only have specific strategy and full of knowledge can prevent doing mistakes and etc.

If you don't want to have another mistakes then be smart next time!  Be ready before jumping in ! Make a TA always to reduce risky situation because in fact it's up to us how to handle it even though it's very risky.

trade has taken up a large part of my capital because of the lack of proper decision making among the many strata of the strategies applied by other users to continue to win. choosing the best coins and having a good trend is absolute to be able to reach profit targets on trading activities. do analysis carefully and be more patient to achieve profit targets

I think as a trader you do not focus on 1 single coin and stick to that one to get your profits. My opinion and what I do is that a take trades in any possible coin that shows me the right signals to apply my strategy. After that I take 50% of my profits and those profits I put in a coin I have confidence in. So at the same time you are trading multiple coins for daily profits and you put money in a coin you strongly believe in

Don't ask anyone because all fault is because us as player and I believe all trader will agree with me. We are the command center and all decision is because us, so we play with our mindset, asset and time. Hard to say if you don't agree with me and not repeat the same mistakes is the best way to keep survive. Valuable experience for all of us, keep disciplines with our strategy and good luck to you.

But you shouldn't have lost out in that situation assuming that you're considering bitcoin value. If you're trading frequently from usd/btc to try and grow usd value then you should've had some sort of a stop-loss in place. If you're just trying to grow your bitcoin then there's little way you could've lost out.

in trading, prediction is not advisable because it may lead to loosing some of your capital, it is better to play safe when trading and it is better to base on the current market not what will the market for the following day.

All trading actions are predictions because we do not know where the prices will go in the next day. The difference lies on how people make predictions. Some will rely on charts, news or even just blind predictions based on feelings. Losing in trading is normal and everyone should experience it. Patience is needed to wait for the correct times to reap the profit.

Taking high risk at any stage of trading is not recommended, every trade should be taken with calculated risk, how much amount you can afford to lose in a single trade and how much max dd you can bear all time. Also trading needs lot of homework and proper planning like tracing levels, breakout etc.
100% profit in trading is practically not possible so accept the losses and move.

Trading is a big lottery in which not everyone is lucky. And everyone who decides to try their luck in trading should be ready for losses.

Last year was crazy for day traders a day I think I can say more of loss than profits in the bags of traders.  However,  I won't give up on how far green the market can go. It's good to love your capital more than your gains but would you rather watch everyone cash out big and lay in regrets? 2018 changed a lot of peoples perspectives as nearly most of their predictions went south.

It's a very good thread for less experienced traders. When I just started I had an impression that I'm the only one making mistakes in predictions and losing as a result. It's true, that crypto trading doesn't follow the same rules and the market is still extremely volatile. Some things are actually outside of our possible judgment, though most losses are caused by things we can see but just don't take them into account

Financial management is part of whole story, real image is bigger than what we thought. It isn't about "cutting losses" so traders are depend on volatility which happens via unknown factors.

Cryptocurrency trading is different level than other financial markets. Spot markets(forex) are considered as controllable by banking institutions compared to cryptocurrency which volatility is higher than sum of whole movements of  stock market. Financial institutions hire best economists for keeping under control economical events because system is created by them.

Maintain a track of winning and losing trades. Its better if you can maintain 7:3 ratio that is if you have taken 10 trades in which 7 are winning and 3 are losing then you are at good trader.

Cut your loss, Let your Winning trades run is the best Rule that one can follow.

That's why most traders lose. Movements don't happen as they should and TA doesn't work on the other hand, just in short-term.
Looks like it's better to look from side unless the market gives us a hint.

If we made a loss in trading the problem is not only you there season and timings also be problem so be confident with your work it will be the key factor to improve yourself more stronger if you loss hope in your work especially in trading it will be very unconditional suffering for you that's why I am saying this.

Everyone should really know that there is always a risk in every step we make, so if you are losing today, try to stop it now and call it a day but never quit and come back again tomorrow. It is not always a bad day and it does happen once sometimes so don't take everything seriously because the odds might kill your funds for trading if you keep pushing your luck.

Yes.Trading has always its own risks so we should know how to take one step at a time.Learn to be more focused but not in the sense that you will be carried with your emotions.Remember you should trade for profits and not with your emotional satisfaction.If you happen to lose today,then do not be depressed because there are still a lot of days to perform trading.Soon you will have your own luck and determination to gain huge profits in trading.

Honestly not sounding like a good resolution. You must keep investing into bitcoin so that you will be getting wide opportunity to recover all your losses. Please note I am suggesting to go for only with the bitcoin and not with any other coins. Because, if you are keep buying on both rising and falling market you will be covering all the dips and peaks (given that you will be having enough capital left), it means you will be able to catch the most effective average buying level.

This way you will be ensuring a secured way of multiplying your capital. Most people buy sometimes and then going for watching the market and then missing out the perfect lower levels to enter. That is the reason and suggesting you to keep on buying as long as you are having some capital to do so.

There are  a lot of things that need to be learned in trading, if we keep on building our experience and learn the risk management then we could make profit, but its true that 2018 is not easy to make profit as the market really unpredictable and the volatility is very high, in 2019 hopefully the market will become more stable

It is true that it is not our fault on losing in trading. No one expects that the cryptocurrencies will go down. There are many investors and traders who losing big amount of money because of abnormal movement in market.

If we are into trading. We must be ready on all the good or bad things that may come on our way. Maybe we lose some in trading because we made the wrong decisions. So this year we must only trade cryptos that are well establish in the market. 

Mistake most people tend to make is to think losing is not part of a trade, of course it is, and it is how you manage the risks of losing to the reward you get per trade that matters. Now, it is not your fault if you lose, if you anticipated something and it does not work out as planned which made your stop loss to hit.

However, it is most definitely anyone's fault if they never had a stop loss in their plan and they are now in a big loss. These are totally two different case scenarios as far as I am concerned. Anyone that wants to trade, and does not stick it  in their head, that they have to account for losses too, are not ready to trade at all.

In my opinion, ensuring the safety of the capital you spend is absolutely necessary before investing. But for the cryptocurrency market we can see that everything is possible, if you choose to trust something, then believe in your decision. Before investing in this market, I think that everyone can see the risks that they face in the future in one way or another.

That unexpected thing that we need to blame is the negative exposure done to us by the media. It was focused on making crypto look like a safehaven for criminals and not visualized as a tech of the future.  All the ta in charts are useless if the government won't fully acknowledge us much sooner.

Similar to market which is having ups and downs, performance of a trader is also having ups and downs. We cannot expect all the times to make profits from trading as losses also part of each and every trader's life. What we can do is, trying to minimize the losses as much as possible compared to the profits we are making when possible. We need to accept losses when entire market is not doing well, when the tides changes hopefully we can make more profits than the losses we had.

This is the key and it is very simple to be followed by any trader. Yes, identifying the crypto which are well established is not a big task because by having few criteria we can easily choose them for our trading. Unfortunately most people are trying out new coins for making enormous profits and this is the reason why they are failing and finding themselves depressed over the time.

Maybe some bigger coins too? I mean definitely go for bitcoin because that is the most healthy one and definitely not losing the top spot anytime soon but ethereum and ripple doesn't look like they are going anywhere neither. I would say capital is useless without investment.

People who are rich and wealthy do not become rich because they posses money only, they are rich because they own stuff that makes money for them. That is why capital would mean nothing in the future whereas your investments could mean a lot of money. Warren Buffett didn't became wealthy by just accumulating money, he invested that money into companies he believed would go high and he was right. Be the warren buffet of your life and invest into stuff that you think would make you money in the future.

Always note that losing in trading is inevitable. Even we careful to our decisions, there are still times that we can lose in trading. Do not expect that you can always make profit from trading due to its unstable movement in the market.

That's why crypto trading is risky activity because of it's volatile value.
No one dare to invest on it but remember because of btc, some people able purchase Labhorgini !
So overall, No Pain No Gain

Even experts can lose, any system or pattern that we've followed can be manipulated by big investors, though there's really some advantage for person who understand the flow but it can't be avoided losing in some instances, make sure that you are always willing to take the risk and step forward whatever the market brings to your investment, being positive will allow you to continue, keep your mind open in any changes so you can adopt quicker and decide much wiser.

I do agree with that. Since the whole market had been volatile, it is easy to lose thousands of dollars in just minutes.
But you cannot blame it with the market too.
There are some decisions in trading that had been made by the traders themselves with greed. Some of those are with unsure choices and yet they still did it.

I guess a lot of holders have really sold it at a losing side just so they could buy at a cheaper price but it is stagnant so waiting time might take long.

I like your words used that "no pain no gain". Yes, that is true, managing risk and having trading to gamble your money is not kind of jokes. That is a serious thing that you must need a focus on it, deep research and having a group of reference which a good way to go especially for those not having experience of trading. So, whos this fault? Not your's? You are the one who has a responsibility whether you've loss or gain.

Yes, there are lots of aspects we need to cover so that we can find success in trading. Trading is not easier one unlike how it seems for the out side people. Because, when you are failing to match up to the point in any one single aspect then the total process will get collapsed out. But, when trading is becoming a practice, remembering and making use of our past experience will help to manage all the things of trading more effectively. But gaining experience and then using that experience at right time is the key for the any one to become a professional trader.

If you notice, professional traders never blame the market but they will go for finding where the actual problem happened and what caused that.

There is always another choice in this volatile situation and if we are just losing, it is our own fault. At least we had the chance to convert our money into stable digital coins. Furthermore, in this situation we must have plan B to be able to survive.

Trading is the most important part of cryptocurrency and no risk no gain.So if you want more profit must need high risk but if you want to low profit just try to buy and sell. IF you lose on trade juts loss money and i think its best idea for the newbie or small traders

 losses are happening at most of the time because of many people will not trusting trading and their interest also very less to trade , so they definitely need to improve in trading for good profit.

It is not smart to buy while everyone in the street already discuss about cryptocurrencies. One simple rules state all required info: Buy while everyone else sells,sell while hype starts to smell at everywhere.

Profit and loss are the part of the trading, but because of the downward trend over the past one year, most traders have suffered losses except a few lucky ones.

Same like gambling is winning and losing together. Trading is like gambling, I'm saying that for years, just game is different. What I learned in all this years about bitcoin trading game? You lose only if you sell, that's the strategy that worked until the end of 2017. When I started with bitcoins in 2015 people were crying because they bought at 1200 dollars, same like some people are crying now. Who had patience could sold at 20000 dollars. Now if you bought bitcoins at top or close to it I'm not telling you to sit down with your hands crossed and wait price to rise again, move those bitcoins on a side and invest more money, try to have better timing and try to buy in dip and sell on some top, if you made mistake again, move those bitcoins on a side and add more money. When times come you can harvest profit from all your trades.
If you sell under the price you bought you lost some money, if price is dropping only good strategy is shorting, but be careful price can trick you again and instead of dropping more it can rise, you are without coins and without part of your money. Like you see everything is in a good timing and adding more money when you make a mistake, until 2017 strategy worked fine, I believe we will see new ath one day, so don't sell what you bought add more money and try again, but keep bought bitcoins safe for the right time.

You know what mate loosing in trading will gonna be a part of it bear that in your mind.
The best thing we can do is that every time we make a mistake lets take it as a lesson always. Just continue to learn then
never repeat the mistakes you did instead improve yourself in trading. 

Yes, taking risk shouldn't be a problem or burden because every investment have it own entails risk but it all the fault of everyone that lost in terms of crypto trading cause any mistake lead to lost and this why people are advice to have the require knowledge of trading and also control their feelings which could lead them to impatience/panic sell.

Love both of it is good thing to do, it is still better than only love capital and play safe with low profit. Because my opinion is, risk is almost same, what make it different is it's feel when use big or low capital.

That needs proper planning so plan according to the market movement as if you see that price in the market is low and people are selling only Because they don’t trust their coin. You should then but and hold  for long term. Lose often occurs in trading for selling at panic so if you will not panic you will never lose and try to trade for long term.

You mean to trade a plan before planning your income. Long term trading is different than deciding about short term movements in 5 minutes charts. Four hour charts can give more clear signals than 5 or 15 min charts. Vision should be clear like mind before entering any position in trading platform.

Not at all and also it depends on what kind of trader you are. If you are focusing on 4h tf than on 5 to 15 minutest then you are focusing for price swings but on lesser TF then you are a certain type of active trader
which you would really be more focused on price actions.Neither which way you would go getting in will always vary on your own experience and preference. Losing is inevitable thing but it do acts as a learning path as you go by.

Don't feel too sad if you get lost in trading because you can recover you're lost in the other day. Just continue your trade and choose the right coins, I am sure you can do. Every pro trader has got their losses too and they didn't stop because they are learned from their mistake and this is what makes them grow their skills. We can be like them as long as we can keep trying with different coins and I am sure we can be able to make profit day by day. There will be the best moment in your day so you can make a big profit in one-time.

I usually do not find it funny when people say TAs do not work, it is your attitude towards TA that counts in most cases. A lot of people think with TA you should always get things 100% right, sorry to bust your bubbles bro, that is a big capital NO. TA is just there as a guide, to make you anticipate for possible movement in the market, and at that point you are anticipating, you have to also assume that it is a market, and things can go not as planned, and you have to plan ahead for that, which is where stop loss comes in. The problem is that people take trading as gambling and not as what it should be.

Obviously it's traders fault for loss on crypto-currency trading. The fault we can't realize from beginning. I believe from beginning most of traders was in loss. But day by day they earn knowledge. By using that knowledge and experience a trader becomes successful. Actually almost all new trader on loss and old traders on profit. As well as you know that someone selling then you are buying. At the same time once you are selling means someone buying. It means somhow someone have to loss. So basically new traders will on loss. Because they aren't much aware about market conditions. They don't know analys how should react on current situations. And old traders learned from past mistakes. So you can use your experience to earn something. Just avoid panic trades.

The market will go to any situation we need to adapt them but it is not in our hand while we are invested on that when it goes to very low a place we cannot do anything against that we need to last some money that's why you are saying it is the only fault that you are doing it also in the mistake that cryptocurrency also have with the system so don't worry when we are investing and lasting be happy why it going to the better profit this is my opinion.

That is usually the thing. If you do not account for the fact that there is a risk in trading, how will you be able to manage the risk in the first place. Ask a lot of people today, they think every one that trades does not lose no matter how small, but how small you lose in a trade is dependent on your plan which includes how you were able to manage risks despite your predictions or speculations based on your strategy.

One major reason a lot of people will keep losing in trading till date, because they do not have that idea that trading is an educated gambling, and you need to have a plan and strategy to be able to make the best of it, otherwise you get screwed before you even realize it.

Honestly I am a newbie in the field of trading and I'm not day trader I only trade when I'm really sure I can get profit by looking at the market conditions first. I just thought, getting a loss when trading is a very reasonable thing, with a note only occasionally. I mean when someone trades then he gets a loss then he has to make his own evaluation why he gets a loss, this is often forgotten by some traders, especially newbie traders. Indeed, the state of the cryptocurrency market is very uncertain, fluctuative so as cannot be easily guessed. But when someone is used to the market conditions like that, he can find a gap to get the desired profit.

could there be a good possibility if for example we use the opposite of the TA results, yes maybe it can work well, have you ever tried such a thing?
We all know, the results of TA do not always fit even sometimes not at all what is expected

Definitely it's our fault if we still losing in this stable sideway market conditions,this can be the perfect time for the skillful trader to make huge profits by day trading the altcoin with bitcoin against bump and dump on daily basis.

Yeah, there is a reason behind every loss. At least you would stay away and protect yourself from bloody market. Although we are the ones who decide the price, but we can dump price into this situation. However the price may be better if no one sells.

You are responsible for every move you made in trade. Losses and profits are in your control. Therefore, it is necessary to trade without any another one's ideas, only with your own ideas and analysis. The most importantly, to understand when to stop or continue to trade.

Yes i agree with that loosing in trading are not your fault so that you will learn to be patience all the time and fight your emotions to be able to survive the market suffering to lose.

Do not turn yourself on every loss that occurs because it will make your trust shatter and cause bad emotional feelings, it will be better if you accept it and the most important thing is to learn from every mistake, you will know why you lose and repair that area

Now is one of the best times to buy cryptocurrencies and make a daily profit, look at the market, some give 5-10% profit per day!

verry nice advice  .   that is the best move to do after suffering from a loss  though when we loose it is really our fault because we are the ones that make a trade and not any other people not unless you use bots or ask for some assistance but still you are still the one that dictates them on what they will do  . therfor you must not blame anyone or anything and most importantly you must not blame your self because you are not a failure .  no one is perfect on this  world . 

That is if you know how to short bitcoin or any crypto coins right now. There are ways to make profit in this bear market but you know that there are also a huge risk involved with it. So totally not advisable for noobs traders right now.

You really need to learn to be at technical or at least learn some mid to advance TA before venturing on that trading strategy. Might be good for some though and I'm sure that they have really take advantage of every situation and book profits daily.

you have learned to be wise  ;) but unfortunately to practice it is not as easy as what was said, because it's all a mental psychology problem, because basically humans have greediness..  :o

loses is really part of successful trading and you cannot really make it in trading without learning from your mistakes and losing.  Investors are really taking risks for their investments and since this market is highly unpredictable I think we should trying to know what we are going into before investing.

Well it’s not the coin that falls but that’s our mistake we make it fall. Because in trading you will have to hold and be wise little mistakes can make you suffer lose. So just have patience and don’t lose your money. Right now it’s best time to buy and hold. The only mistake all traders use to do is being emotional and selling at panic.

Yeah no one perfect, even old traders also suffer losses right ? but they are not frustrated and blame themselves, the mistakes you
make are what will make you an expert in trade, keep try and learn dude! trading knowledge is not obtained from a short time and a little pain

Who's fault is it then? Your trade was so right but the market is so wrong? No, market is always right, even if when it's wrong. Just like referee in a game.

How about taking accountability of your life and results? It's always your fault. Even if you think it's not, it's still YOUR money you lost, that's what counts. You can blame whatever if it makes you feel less sad, but best chance is that will keep you from admitting your mistakes and fixing them.

Not your fault yeah right

but if I think it's a mistake that can make a loss it's a mistake yourself, because a lot of people feel lost after selling when market conditions like this. even if you all don't sell and are always patient waiting for the market to return again you might be able to benefit and avoid loss or loss

Anyway, the loss and profit that you experience in trading will continue to be a lesson for yourself in the future. The market crashes and increases if you have learned the movement, then chances are you still have the chance to make a profit from the chaos that happen, but it's only a small profit and it's better than you just staring at it.

This you can tell to hold if you invested money dont affect your daily life. But most of the recent investors have borrowed or invested money taking risk and now when the market is down they are not able to hold as the cost of expense to hold is high. So i think if you properly read the market an trade with stop loss and make profit low like 1 or 2% , this way you can be safe side in trading and when you calculate your profit after some days you will see that you are in good profit, comparing to high risk trading loss.

The key to keeping survive even if we are losing is only kept trying and never give up. Your skills in trading will increase if you can learn from your mistake and you will be able to make a profit in the future. Makes your mistake as your power to recover the losses and when the times arrive, you will see that your loss is part of your lesson to make a bigger profit. You know that everyone who is trading sometimes gets loss too but they don't give up and they are trying to search the other coins which can give them a profit and finally, they are a success to recover their balance.

I don't think so, sorry for this mate okay. But I beg to disagreed with your thoughts, if any of the loss coins that we are going to face in the platform exchange it is our main fault, due to no one who can able to sell or to buy coins but us only no one else. That's why in every mistakes we take it as a charge experienced and we learned from it too.

Trading is another platform for betting/gambling. Yes, you can analyze things technically but boom, you will always find things unexpectedly and will make you lose the trades. That is how trading works. The thing is, you just need to learn that you have to give yourself time to lose and lose and in order to do that is to trade your assets slowly and low. Trade only 10% of your assets so that if you lose in trading, you still have 90% left to use and to try trading again. Once you have learned how the market works, that 10% of you will grow in expectedly 100% as well.

how come something unexpected happens on the way? what is happening is that neither you nor all people are able to predict the price just that. If you think that it was unexpected, you are making an excuse not to admit that you can not predict the price. do not blame yourself... buy low and sell high


Never forget the best friend of the crypto world: Stop-Limit

Who's fault is it? Since I'm the one trading, it must be my fault. First and foremost, once you trade here in cryptocurrency you must know the fact that it is very unpredictable that anytime drastic change may happen. This is the reality of cryptocurrency.

Losing in trading is really a normal thing specially to the unstable crypto market. We need to put first into our mind that in crypto everything is unstable. So let us considered the result of our trading strategy, we maybe need to have more patience on it if we are going to trade we also need to be more practical because crypto is really a risky ways to earn a huge amount of profit because trading is a win or lose game.

Especially if we are following the other signal because that is our mistake, if we can make an analysis, of course, we don't have to follow their signal. But if we cannot analyze, then we only need to buy low and sell high, nothing else. It is why we need to improve our skills in trading so we can analyze the chart and if we know the other signal, we can combine it with our analysis so it will become a better strategy for ourselves.

Fault is normal and everyone do mistake no one is perfect

That’s a lie, I don’t believe that. If you lose in trading then you have yourself to blame, if not yourself then who are you going to blame it on? The thing is that you made a mistake in your analysis (cryptocurrency is very difficult to predict, any slight mistake and you’re messing around with everything) So you have yourself to blame for nor getting it right.

It’s so simple to understand and all those people who knows the trading skills so that they will be agree with you.  If you actually know that after jumping from bridge U will die but even then you jump so isn't it your mistake behind your death so the same way selling panic is almost your death as a trader.

Mistakes are part of business but those are really good businessperson who learn from it and try to avoid all the mistakes. Earning and lose is all in our hands if we invest and sell early so trading for day with high is a mistake  that should be avoided to make money and learn from your first mistake so that you will not do another.

I think people is the reason why they lose on trading because we are the one who will decide about it. If we take a risk or not but if you really know how to trade, trading will be not problem to you because you know what your doing and you know how to manage it.

Yes, i think so and we should be liable for every trade that we made because we execute it on our own. Trading should not be base to anyone, it should be base on our own studies. The market may go down or up but if we don't trade well, expect for a more losing trade better not to blame anyone.

You cannot blame anyone but yourself, but stop blaming yourself all the time as trading is not easy, you need to be positive and improve yourself in order to achieve your goal. Being a trader requires your to change your strategy based on the market condition because no strategy that would work all the time, the market is moving therefore you should also move.

Example, you need to make strategy in bullish and in bearish market, it should be unique with each other.

Well it really doesn't need to be blamed because of course when we do open positions we should also have thought about the risks beforehand. we know that trading is a risky job

Trading only feels good if and when the market is also positively performing. Without which, trading is going to be a lot riskier. There is more probability that you will lose instead of gaining. The prices are getting red after red after red. Only those coins which have very strong signals and announcements are going to make it to a little green. Otherwise, it will also be flowing downward together with the rest. Well, the expert traders can still make something out of a bad market. But the rest, they better stay out of trading if they are not really confident of their skills.

trading depends on the price of the coin on the market, if we don't have a profit, the sign is that the price of the coin is decreasing, I am currently investing in a bitcoin coin

 Mistakes are part of game and this is how we gain experience. Markets turn in cycles and there is no single strategy that works in all market cycles. That's why adopting to market conditions are necessary. Traders need to master themselves in order to be risk manager and trading is risky business which requires to calculate business risks before starting it.

To reduce your risk level in crypto trading, ensure you are conversant with current and relevant to crypto news per time and also news related to the token you are trading with also I have decided to always ensure I follow my mind base on research done not base on several hype we see online regularly.

All people already complaining that their coins that they hold was already dropped out and blaming their self after losing their money in trading so thats the point that the market is not in good condition.

In regardless of your topic, which is stated in the above mentioned. There's something I'd like to ask you first, how come that if you are a trader then you do the actual trade were in then end you loss your coins, it means its not your fault? Where did you get that answer? and what is your basis anyway? Your reason was not very clear. And I think its wrong, because it is literally obvious that is your fault or ourselves if ever we loss in trading.

I certainly agree on the part that not every time you can win in the game but I believe that we can definitely eliminate the risk factor up to some extent by applying risk management strategies wisely. I have lost my capital in my initial days of trading as well as in my few recent trades too but there is a huge difference between both the trades. Good research, strategy and execution can also work as damage control plan when things are not going well.

The reason for the price fall of crypto currencies causes us to lose our money but if we just doing nothing while the prices are falling when you are a trader then you are responsible for that.You need to do something to minimize the losses or just get out from the market with minimal losses and enter the market later when the price hit the bottom.

For me,i never lose too much because the moment the price had declined i have minimized trading already and just focus on holding my coins.I will only sell them once i see a good price increase in the market.Of course everyone here is losing already because of the down market but we should learn not to be panic and even panic selling because it will only make us lose even more.

I agree, I do not know how this is even up to discussion, if you as a trader decide to do something and your actions lead you to lose your money then it is your fault and someone that does not recognize that and it is looking only for excuses will never improve himself since he will always find a way to blame somebody else for his mistakes when he knows full well it was his fault.

Agree everything is on your hand dude, everything happens because of your will. if you lose of course because of the mistakes you made, and I also admit that, about why you are impatient, or you don't do deep analysis and so on. but that doesn't mean you have to give up because of loss

of course that is very true, if we lose the trade then you are actually innocent. we are just wrong in predicting.

Yes you can definitely not the only reason for the last that you are made in trading it is because of lots of thing that to be surrounded by you the one of the reason will less but when see all problem we need to face that this will be the right way to make the good trading

right, your decision is very correct. if we cannot benefit from the trade, at least we do not lose capital in trading.
because many people withdraw from trade after losing all money, including capital, and this is very detrimental.

Maybe it't our fault by lossing in trading. Just because market will also decide the price what will come so it's hard to think also if you are gonna buy or sell it.

Do not worry I am not going to give up I have not traded for that long but I have learned a lot during the last months and even if I am even I consider that an accomplishment since I have made many trades and most of them made me lose some small amount of money but I have learned a lot from each one of my trades and I have refined my strategy even further.

Right, This bear market is in the race to kill all past history I mean longer term. Here's the reason, Bitcoin value fall ahead might be inevitable. Now, Trading is very competitive and you might learn in order to handle otherwise you will find yourself as loser one.

If we embrace the current situation, maybe we can learn the right method to trade effectively.
Market should not be used as an excuse why we will not trade now, if we can find a better strategy at the current situation, then let's trade.

Market is highly volatile and unpredictable. But if we trade with proper stop loss we can maintain a ratio of 7:3 (7 wining bets and 3 bets loss) which is pretty good ratio.

If there is no volatility or uncertainty then there is no fun in trading :D :D :D :D

There are such time the market has not getting profitable sometimes it continue dropping for their own price so it's hard to predict for buying and selling.

After losing value it is very good to hold them in the market instead of selling them for loos. Most of the people will afraid when the market is going down and start selling them for loos, in order to retrieve our capital we need to hold them for the long term.

Yes, that is why we need to be careful to analyze the coins we want so we can avoid making a mistake. But if we can predict by doing deeply analyze, I am sure that we are not losing and even we can make a profit. The most problem we had in trading is because we are too greedy to make a bigger profit while the market can not giving any good signals so our prediction can be wrong. Yes, this can make us confuse to decide to sell now or hold for a while, and we need to do research related to the coin at the market.

You should have done this mid of 2018 mate because that whole year brings traders devastating experiences,i have come to stop trading in end of first quarter last year while seeing the pattern of continuously dipping market

But for me its our fault why we are losing because of mostly the greedy attitude,we tend to chase more profit when we can atleast gain smaller but safer trade

We are responsible for our money,no one cheating us to lose but our decisions did

the determinant of who will benefit and who will get losses from trading are those who cannot control their patience and are easily panicked when the market conditions fall.

      That's also a good decision but a good businessman always take the risky situation and that's why they are successful , the same to a good trader which they are also successful besides of a few loses .

agree with you , i think this year more risky than past 2 year , the right decisions is doing safe / low trading and try capital as much as you can for 2020 trading

It is our fault why we are losing in trading, our skills and knowledge are still not enough and that's why we keep losing. The bear market is only one of the factors why we we can't earn profit in trading of cryptocurrencies.

   

There is no magic in trading, you must always remember that if you experience to be lose in trading, it is understood you made a wrong move when you do trade in the market. In short, its traders fault. Its not true that if you are loosing in trading its not your fault, that's ridiculous actually. If you are you know the right things in doing trade in the actual platform for sure you won't encounter lose.

I think this situation almost the same as 2015 before the cryptocurrency began to increase and makes people in out there shocked. We have a good time to buy as many coins as we can in the last year and this month because all coins were not increased higher and it's only waiting for a good moment to rise again. I think you can cover you're lost in the trading from now on and by selecting the right coins, you will make another profit, but you still need to make an analysis.

Everything is possible in cryptocurrency trading, we can either win or lose. If we will invest in trading, we should only put the money that we can afford to lose for us to have not have fear of losing our money. There are many risks in trading and we can only surpass it if we have enough information about what it is.

Losses in cryptocurrency trading have been experienced by many traders, because I don't think it is easy to trade crypto, we have to study charts, indicators, market analysis, fundamentals and technicalities, all of them are not instant, so if traders suffer losses, it is pure traders' fault

Sometimes the profits you are making depends on the failure of other trader so its not your fault completely but if you are doing nothing to minimize the losses if you are facing then we can't blame anyone for that.Learning technical analysis can be helpful but lot of skills needed for a trader,simple tips can make your trading better here 8 must read tips for trading Bitcoin and Altcoins (https://cryptopotato.com/8-must-read-tips-trading-bitcoin-altcoins/)

When our market suddenly goes down, we suffer losses and that is our mistake.
because we were subjective and did not place a stop-loss order at the right time. My friend once had the same mistake and it took him more than $ 10,000.
We should choose trading platforms that have a stop-loss function to secure investment.

When loss happen, mostly that's our vault and rest is because system. That's why fix our mistakes become the main part and not all doing that because to focus about how to blame market, signal and network. We all know risk always there and know how to protect asset and fix mistakes is the important part, finish it and good luck to you.

your the one that makes your decision so theres no one to blame whenever you lose your trades .  its not because of the market because the market originally works this way before or after and even on the future .  

 
All year are risky because even before , the value of cryptos are already highly volatile  . the past is not an exemption even if we say that they are better because they market is healthy back then  .


There is . theres a magic in trading , we need magic so that we can earn huge profits  .  the magic that im talking about is luck  . sometimes if we are lucky we can decide properly .  

Never think that sudden drop of prices is just our fault or making it as a mistake for everyone. If you'll into trading you must prepare for cause that could be usually happen to us and even trading experts are still subject for these. It is our own decision who made what is the future of trading and every move it result for something either losing or gaining. That is, we should think multiple times and look for possible results.

It is always the trader's fault. Who do you think push the buy button in the exchanges? Who else clicks the sell button anyway? No one but the trader only. It is his own mind that can be influenced by other people the he follows and that made him lose a lot.

Although that is traders fault, they will learn their mistake, and they will not do the same things in the future. And they will replace by another trader and this will happen in many times. I am sure good traders can find a solution to solve their problem in trading. We need to know that we don't have to get panic when someone says that the market will fall because it will make us make an action without we think that if that news is true or not.

No one to blame for our loses even if we did our best to analyze the market because its hard to control it and the market will not always go to uptrend. Loses is normal in trading, just continue to analyze and trade. You’re doing best, time will come for you to take profit.

It is not the market fault, it is our fault why we experienced losses. We are not prepared to the unexpected situation that we faced and that's why we lose our money.  We should improve our self for us to avoid losses and regain our investment.

I agree to what you said about "market should not be an excuse". We lose because of our lack of knowledge and experiences and not because of the market. If we can improve our strategies and also gain more experience, then we can lessen the loss that we keep facing.

I am on the other side. Even the most experienced trader out there sometimes loses funds when he wrongly predicts the price. I know experience is a must for trading but that does not mean you will be a god in trading, that you will never lose.

We lose because it means that we should improve something, I am still inexperienced trader and that's why I lose. I can blame myself why I lose in trading because I am still not prepared to handle many risks.

Yes, this is the time for accumulation. Whales are accumulating bitcoins and altcoins at a cheap prices. Many people are losing there money in trading because this is not a good season for trading. This is a time for mid term or long term hold. If anyone can buy bitcoins and altcoins at these cheap prices and hold them for one year, i am sure he will be millionaire after a year.

I don't know whether what you said is true or not because if you are loosing constantly then there must be something that you are doing wrong.
Everybody makes mistakes and so do I. But, it is the mistakes that we should learn from and never repeat. If the market is down then change the strategy.
If the luck is bad then take a break. There will be a time when you start executing your trades well and that will be the moment when you realize that you actually are a trader.

The market will always be risky, if we are in the accumulation phase we can also win, if we understand the market if we can win, but doing technical analysis with triangles and indicators never. ;)

Most of time we win but lose only if we trade at wrong time as if we want to trade for long term it will be good as at and we use to wait and for good we use to sell or to trade. Gaining experience and profit should be our first priority only then we can avoid all those mistakes which makes us suffer bigger lose in trading so trade for long term and increase your knowledge more and more.

One word.. Accountability! We as people need to be more responsible and assume our mistakes. Yeah, you've lost a trade and so what? Have proper risk management and most importantly LEARN from it so you can make better decisions in the future  ;)

I has been loss more than 90% from crypto because was decided to hold and this is my big mistake and was my fault. I just keep learn from this my mistake and i will never do the same mistake again. I think in 2018 in the most bad situation for crypto market because all altcoin dumped hard to more than 90% . Understanding the trend and use stop loss after bougth any crypto is way to minimize the risk from high fluctuacion of crypto.

well, it is our responsibility if we lose in a trade because we don't take the opportunity that has passed. well, but you're right, when you've lost, it can't be passed, and with that, we have to learn well about the mistakes we've made.

Indeed! There's no room for regrets in this journey, what is important is to keep moving towards productivity and success. Learn from failures and take every bad experience as a motivation to be stronger and wiser. If plan A doesn't work, it's not the end of the story  yet, be hungrier and don't give up. Take full responsibility of your actions and words. Failures are part of success if we only know how to take a look at life with optimism and hope, otherwise you'll be lost and will never grow.

I loss much money from trading because of my fault, im too greedy and did not have risk management. From this loss, i been try to make my self become more expert in trading by follow the rules of trading and use risk management. Just keep learn from mistake in the pass so we can make our self become more expert.

our experience will teach us how face the market.and if you already learned from your mistakes , that the simple thing that could make you survive in cryptocurrency market.we need to improve our skills by our fault.

Personal experienced is the best learning stage coming from trading activities, now that you suffer from your own mistakes you will avoid doing the same thing and start to build a right pattern to achieve your goals, if you do aimed to become more expert you also need to have more time to learn from each experienced that you have,  keep yourself empty and not to think that you already an achiever so more ideas will comes up and help you inside this trading business.

We know that joining and trading in crypto currency is very risky because the price is really unpredictable but still we persist into it and lose therefore it is still our fault if we lose in this investments but still we can move on easily if we will just treat that losing as part of our experiences and learned from it because the only person that in charge of your success is you.

Well, I don't think that anyone of us can blaim somebody else for own failure in trading. Of course there are inner factors that can influence the results but in general we have to take the responsibility for loss. It's the result of our own judgements and decision which sometimes are right and sometimes wrong. We are all aware that trading is risky, profit is not guaranteed and we always have to keep that in mind. Even when the market is perfect you might lose, don't forget that.

Yes, due to the market situation the price of coin kept decreasing in the market which many people losing their value in the market. When the prices are increasing many people start buying and suddenly the prices drop in the market makes many people losing value.

It's still the traders fault, regardless of the reason why the price suddenly dropped. No one will hit the Buy or Sell button but you. So its your decision, its your choice and you should take the blame if you loss hundreds, thousands or perhaps millions in trading. You don't blame the news as well, its the people who will react on the news and not the other way around.

I guess that's the hard truth. Same thing if you lost because you followed someone else's instruction or got scammed. The market is there for you to study and you have to work for it to be efficient. Though losses will happen whether you prepare or not, at least there won't be any regrets if you did your part.

There is a rule in trading " Money saved is money earned". If you are capable of saving your equity then you are at the first step of successful trading.
Only technical analysis, fundamental or sentimental analysis cannot make you a good trade, you need to learn money management which is an essential part of trading, aside to this you need to control your greed and fear, many good traders lose because of greed and fear. Always trade with a solid plan, if plan A fails what is the plan B. If you can learn all these things then your destination of becoming successful trader is not far away.

Ofcourse think of it if you are willing to loss your money or not before entering it to trading platform because working on trading is not so easy and it is risky like a gambling also.

well, i think losing in trading is normal. we don't know when prices will go up and down. even if you pay attention to the chart continuously, the risk of losing will still be there.

We can't deny that fault of losing from trading, because that actions was due to weakness of our emotions which commands our hands to go dumping of an asset. As long as we continue our journey with trading there's two scenario that will happen either win or lose, so always bare in mind that ups and downs is a part of volatile character of trading cryptocurrency.

There is no reason to be in trading if they are not interested on this, they'll never have to push themselves if they have lack of courage cause it only make bad for them. The worst thing might possible to happen with them is to loss their money.

I am confused by your title. No one can make a profit all the time, everyone does lose but they keep trading to recover losses and make more profit. You can't make a profit by every coin you trade. Try to select a coin which can give you profit continuously. After spending years in trading finally I found one which is very strong and never dumped very high. If you choose random coins and get lose then the fault is yours! But every time the fault is not ours, because market movement are not going through our expectation

Unfortunately, risk management is not being taught enough and many people find themselves losing money at their early days. (1st year)
In my opinion, everyone should be first investing in time in his own education, knowing exactly what are his plans, how much can he afford to lose to learn a lesson.

I've personally found it much more useful in starting with a logic trading pattern that made sense to me, and within time improving it and making my own algorithm. Now it is all about knowing your required margin based on your goal, and making sure that you have enough "fuel" to drive you "vehicle".

Learning is a process and it takes time before we fully embrace and understand the system. Trading isn't an easy work for us, yes we need fuel to drive means knowledge and strategies, cause without this things will absolutely end up for nothing. This are some reasons why mostly new traders have fails cause they'll never have this things inside.

I am sure if you can learn more details about trading, you can minimize your losses, and you can make a profit like other else. Without learning in every day, you don't have any chance to make those profit, and you will lose the money in many times. Many traders have made a mistake in their trading time because they don't want to spend the time to learn about technical analysis which will help them to analyze better in the future.

Trading of any kind will always leave us open to looses and most of the losses are due to factors beyond our control. The moment you decide to trade, you should also come to terms with the fact that there is a possibility you might loose all your funds. I like your post because it encourages everyone to be smart in trading. These days, there are a lot of indicators that could help us cut losses and maximize profits, not to mention several useful tools like stoploss and take profit. All in all, just be prepared to handle whatever comes your way in trading and don't stake what you can't afford to loose.

Nothing could be more true I am getting tired of people blaming everything except themselves when they lose a trade, if you use money management losing a trade is not a big deal, I have lost my fair share of trades and I am not troubled by it, I am currently in profits even with all the trades I lost thanks to my money management skills that I learned long ago.

very true, I strongly agree with what you say my friend, if sometimes we lose in a trade maybe it is not completely wrong the trader. but if you always lose, of course it is a mistake and ignorance of the merchant.

Every one will do mistakes in trading which sometime it is not in our control for buying and selling, we need to be very patient with the market when we buy them at the higher prices. So we need to prepare for everything in the market whether the market is in down trend or upward trend.

So if you earn a lot in trading, we brag about it, we show to the world that we are right and the rest is wrong in picking the right coin to buy but if we loose in trading we blame it to the current market conditions? Own up to your mistakes and accept it if you lost something in trading. Learn from it and move on but don't blame it on someone else because there's no gun pointed at your head when you hit the Sell or Buy button.

If we still make a mistake from trading, then it means, we need to learn more and more than the others so we can get something behind the lesson. I am sure people who can learn more than other people can boost the skills and will get something useful that might help him in the trading. But he will need to spend a time to learn many things, especially about technical analysis because in trading, he will face reality and if he can get the profit to recover then he is on the right way to continue.

Obviously, our only purpose is to be consistent so we will also have a consistent profit.
We do mistakes in trading but we should learn from it, when we are new, we are most likely to commit a lot of bad decision
but we can always improve since we are here and continue to monitor the market and constantly adjust to the demand.

Time is very important, but you must be smart also, spend time to research but focus on information that are only relevant to what you are doing.

Crypto trading is not the same as other trades, because the parameters of price increase or decrease are determined by many factors.
If other trades have determinants that affect prices up or down, such as agriculture in the dry season, prices will definitely rise, and vice versa.
Therefore, the cryptio market is filled with speculators who pursue long-term profits, because crypto prices are like swings, after going down, they will definitely rise.

True traders will not be greedy and we must learn from experience. personally, I better cut lose to minimize losses and not take too much in taking profit. I have analyzed everything, this is very different from 2017. and it will not be possible to always be the same.

That's why we need to always learn in trading because that is the only way for us to increase our skills to analyze what we've got in the market. We don't have to afraid of making a mistake because we don't master trading like other people but soon after we learned more about trading, I am sure that we can recover the losses and fix the mistakes.

You're right. With time management, we can set up our plan in trading, how many hours we needed to learn something and else. And besides that, we need to have the discipline to work with the plan.

yes, basically we can only predict, and when our predictions are wrong, I don't think that's our fault, because we've also tried to do that. well, however we must really pay attention to this so that our losses are not so great in a trade.

Safeguarding your capital is one of the pillars of a good trader. Capital is what makes you a trader and also removing emotion from your trading will also save your capital. Losing trade is what every trader experience during their trading life but you must be reasonable to curtail your losses.

Your choice is truly wise, maybe you are the type of person who is alert and has bad predictions about the crypto market in 2019, but in my opinion this year is the right time to buy and HODL, maybe I am the type of person who likes challenges

Right mate,after all its our decision who made the trading done and if whats the outcome still that is our fault so never blame anybody or anything just because we lose in trading.

Being contented in smaller profit will help us generates income and prevent our selves in losing capital

In this market that all coins and token are cheaper from the value year ago?for sure we will profit in future

It is not always the winning part in trading we are talking here. The experience, the mistakes that we tend to learned and just like you said, the unexpected market actions. Setting stop loss will help us to at least lose big amount of capital. Also, indicators are just there to help us to analyze the trend but there are still unexpected moments that are happening. Whales are always there to manipulate our trades. That's the sad truth.

of course buddy, in 2017 is the highest price and 2018 is the lowest price, I think this year 2019 is the year of price recovery, I think maybe it won't be too big on the pump but just increasing a little is enough to buy warm coffee drinks.

I am also one of those who think like this that holding will be best idea, 2019 will give us profit but we will have to keep our patience up and wait for right time to sell as buying is now good time, your mistake will be consider if you will panic selling, and trying to have profit quickly without thinking about profit and lose and surely it is foolish decision.

Your abilities in using exchanges will increment on the off chance that you can gain from your error and you will most likely make a benefit later on. Commits your error as your capacity to recoup the misfortunes and when the occasions arrive, you will see that your misfortune is a piece of your exercise to make a greater benefit. You realize that everybody who is exchanging now and again gets misfortune as well however they don't surrender and they are endeavoring to look through alternate coins which can give them a benefit lastly, they are a triumph to recoup their equalization.

Have you thought about changing your strategy?
Since you speak that your predictions for some reason something makes it fall, it may be volatility, or maybe, you enter something late.

I think that instead of predicting, why do not you try to make trading by reacting to moves after an important one, you start to build your position from there, to see how it goes.

The market makes everyone lose their minds in trading. and that is not a trader's fault.
the market is like a jungle

Losing is a part of traders life, we can't blame the market for such losses and so our self. The movement of crypto aren't predictable and we can't expect any. Only it could help that we should analyze the market trend, focus of what we do, stick on the plan and do strategies. Everything will be fine and avoid losses if we have them.

After investing at the higher prices we need to hold them until the market starts recovering because if we sell them at the low price definitely we are going to lose the value. It is always suggestable we shouldn't get into a panic when the prices are going down in the market.

when you invest it is better you choose coins that have the potential to be able to provide a very large profit for you and as much as possible not to hold coins too long because the current coin price movements tend to fall so you have to be careful when holding large amounts of coins .

As far as I know we don't like to experience to be loose in trading, not saying that its not our fault if we are loosing in it, that's absolutely wrong.
and as a trader we need to be a risk taker in this field of business in trading. We loss only if we become neglectful or don't have enough knowledge about it.

How it can be not our problem? When we are investing on something we need to have some goals to reach and try to make it through our efforts is the smart thing.

So if it is trading or any job we are losing continuously means something we need to change to make profits.

We need to be responsible in what we are inversing and when we are buying an selling . It is based on our research we should be buying coins and trading them and not based on other recommendation which will help us to make money .

We should really learn on how we will mange the risks thay we are taking. We can avoid losses if we know how to handle it because we can create plan and wise decisions in order to lessen the risks.

Its the traders fault if they loose because as a trader you should accustom yourself with the latest happenings around the world of trade to avoid looses. The market is there for traders to study before they proceed to place their trade hence if they place their trade undermining these factors and loose is at their own fault.

No, I could not agree with that. Because it's a loss of trade, it's going to blame itself. Trade has never said that it would be the fault of trade if the trade was lost. So to trade, first, there should be good ideas about the market. If you do not have good ideas about the market, then there will be guaranteed loss. Trade cannot do by everyone. It takes patience to trade. Trade is a profit loss, both will be. But if you can successfully trade you are more likely to benefit. If it is a loss, then it is not a fault of its own, and it is not always possible to gain profit for yourself.

So its our fault right if we are doing trading with losses which is caused by our mistake of doing trading at the wrong time.

  Yes while choosing a coin don’t be hurry but try to choose well and make good research about the coin you are going to choose, so jumping in river without having any idea how to swim will be your mistake for sure, the same way of you will trade and buy coin without any knowledge and informant will be your mistake or if you sell for panic will make you suffer lose.

Sometimes nothing is in our hands due to market fluctuation because suddenly the prices will drops which we didn't expect them. So that's why it is always good to hold some of the profit to buy the coin when their prices drop in order to average the previous purchases.

I think all responsibility is on every trader, you know the results of trading are certainly determined by the skill and knowledge of the trader itself, so if losses occur, of course what you have to see and introspection is yourself not the market, the market has its own characteristics and criteria, and we know that

I personally agree with this statement you need to understand first the basic procedure in trading because this part is important for every traders because in the end you can analyze when the exact time to buy/sell your altcoin.
As a trader Im not always win sometimes theres a lot of lossing than winning but because of this experienced I learned how to survive in trading.

Follow Stop Loss method when you are trading .this is the best way to avoid looses.

The purpose of stop loss isn't to avoid losses. You can't avaoid losses. The purpose of stop loss is to cut losses. It is being used to avoid too much loss that you've got from the downtrend. It's very useful for a trader who don't trade all day.

well, but anyway, of course there is still a risk in it. even many people have tried to avoid defeat, but are still affected by it. I just feel that this is not anyone's fault, because we never know when it will bring us.

It will be our mistake if we will sell at low and we buy low price coin and then sell it for fast profit and never go for holding, so trading is full of profit but miner mistakes can make us suffer allot, to avoid this kind of risk and this kind of profit lose try to make yourself strong and don’t sell your coin for panic at any point.

The way to stop the losses is to understand the market, if you understand the market, you will know very well where to put the Stop Loss and its Take Profit, if it reaches your Stop Loss, it is better to assume the loss. The market always gives opportunities to enter good positions.

Yeah, if cant understand the market, sometimes you put a wrong price and the stop lose being active. Always got that experience with my trading, after the stoplose active my coin was backup again for the price.

Your decision simply means that you are ready not to make high profit this year because the higher risk one take in trading some time the more profit in return.

To identify the opportunities in trading is the difficult decision to take in trading. It is easier to say than get it done expecially when it comes to crypto currency trading.

This is my big mistake and my fault because i did loss alot of money in crypto market. Did not have knowledge about risk management and trading plan, too greedy is mistake of all trader. But from this mistake we can make our self become better and more expert in trading world.

Yes right, I agree with you. In trading predictions that are missed are natural, especially in crypto, the fluctuations are very large and always occur suddenly. Sometimes our plans and analysis slip away and ultimately result in losses. We cannot read where prices will go, this is not a problem because there will be no predictions that are 100% correct. I also always experience this, the most important thing as you say is risk management. If we can manage risk, the risk of loss will be minimized so that we do not experience large losses. Indeed this year is not a trading year because prices are falling, I also will not often take trades for this year. I will wait for the price to improve.

Of course that is your fault when you lose a trade. A trader will lose trades here and there but through sound risk management and technical analysis will most probably be successful. Remember that 95% of retail traders actually lose money. Trading is not for everyone. Not anyone can master the art of trading, so you should be very careful when you onboard yourself on this endeavour.

  Greed never teach you anything but only discourage you all the time, so if you are not having goo knowledge about trading I must tell you go and search about trading skills and then rejoin market so it will increase your profit strategy otherwise you will only lose your profit and your profit will shrink, so to get big profit you will have to avoid mistakes which leads you to lose money.

I agree that trading is not for everyone, managing risk in trading is important so that it does not continue to lose and is difficult for people who do not have the knowledge and experience to analyze indicators on the chart. So trading is a difficult job and if we are not ready to lose, it is better to just invest in the long term if you do have good patience to make a profit.

In trading everything falls on you,
You are the one who is playing or deciding for your money,
If you lose or gain some it is because of your decision so you don't have anyone to blame but yourself,
Even those who fell for FUD and FOMO it is their fault because they are the one who sell/buy their coin.
Every trader just have to know how to control their emotion and learn from their mistakes.

Two most common made by traders are waiting too long because of greed and not being able to accept the loss. This works in every market not only crypto. In crypto you also have to add one thing that doesn't depend on you. This thing is market manipulation because cryptocurrencies are unregulated and people can do what they want. This includes pump groups, insider trading, and exchanges manipulating the price with their client's money.

There’s a corresponding risk on every action that we are doing, but in holding much coins it can lessen the risk. If you do trading for some time now and suddenly lose money then I think its normal since the market is not that profitable at the moment. I also decided not to trade actively for now, i need some time to relax.

I also noticed this. Trading for years on my experiences so far i've learn how to time my trades not early not late just having profit is enough to say your in time. Holding for too much long is also bad, its like waiting for the next decline when you do not guard the market.

If you always lose, I suggest that you try a different approach to what you are in for. I'm just curious about what made you think that you could always lose? I think the fact that you get to go with 5 - 10% per trade, means that you could limit your losses and probably recover in the next few trades. There are no perfect calls all the time and preventing yourself be emotional about losses would go a long way.

When I do trade, I trade emotionless using Gunbot. I'm not worried that it won't get the right trades because I have set up what I think I would do if I always monitor the chart. Indicators like MACD, RSI, and Bollinger bands will go a long way. It's still like that, and you cannot control the market. Just be strict with yourself, and you could get good profits.

That's mean you are preparing to hold your token, isn't it? I learned someone that we need to stop our trading if the market condition is not a good position. And We must wait until the market comes back to our favour. But most of the traders lose because they don't follow this rule.

Well, losses and faults can always be associated with the person doing the act. In this case, in the language of trading, the person who follows leads and chooses the coins to trade could be at fault for sure; however, I would also like to add that this market can be considered an exception to that rule. Since this market is so rich in movements that can make or break investments seemingly at a very quick pace, it would be too difficult to sometimes judge how coins will fare even despite an investor have been studied or prepared for their investments. In this market, the only purpose of preparation is to decrease the risk, but one should always keep in mind that it is always there.

First of all, you can`t win all the time, deal with it. Road is never straight to up, we all have ups and downs, good and bad experience, it`s how we learn. If you think you can trade crypto without loses you are very wrong, maybe there are ideal examples but it`s what they are ideal examples, in reality it`s different. What people forget is that crypto, at least some projects, are technology that is being developed constantly, have in mind that sometimes you need to be patient and hold, until that time have fun with some other trades.

I absolutely agree on this one. Since the market is so unpredictable, we may not know if it suddenly goes up or down. Let me tell you something about my experience back then.

I am trading FAITH/BTC way back April 2018 and I was playing a bit on the buy/sell game. When I was about to sell it, there’s an instant dump that pissed me off. Yup so I lost a bit, but I gained realizations and experience about the possibility of losing in trading.

Even though I lost on that trade, I’m still having fun doing it. That’s the game anyway.

hey, guys any updates on BTC rn?

try them, they’ve got pretty bomb updates https://t.me/velvetbroker

cool, thanks

which of the rules are you talking about sir?  It is very important you understand that trading profitabily depends of your skills and knowledge to be able to follow the directions of trend.  The trend is your friend either the market is in the uptrend or down trend, it just depends on the directions you are.  Therefore,  we can trade on both directions and there is no need of you avoiding the market because the market is in bullish or bearish conditions. Many traders are making profits in this bear market and some are still losing. 

Just like what my trading situations, I tend to lose and win. Then every time I lose, I am learning my previous mistakes to prevent another loses. Therefore, it is "our" fault why sometimes the trading for us doesn't go well. Perhaps, we are lacking of deeper learnings and strategies.

No one wants to lose or to fail in trading. There is no such thing as perfect trading so we shojld accept the fact that losses might come alone anytime so we should know how to deal with it. Just try to be more observant and notice your mistakes.

if in my opinion one of the factors causing losing in trading is because those who trade are not others, so if we get the loss, we are wrong. and what we have to do is learn more about the mistakes

It is not your fault but your greed which makes you failure in trading. Market is not predictive just like gambling but one thing is good that in long term you will always make a profit out of it if you keep paying attention to market and not getting trapped into fomo and fud.

Another way to quit trading is to convert all moey to fiat and restrict your access from it more frequently. I had trading and investing in ICO problem and i overcome to my problem by this method.

First of all we should understand the complete Technical analysis before we start the trading. Many people do trading on the basis of news which is not right. It might bring good results sometime but it is not the antithetic way of doing the trading.

I do agree that even a person who is 100% trained on TA, still make to make profits because of the unexpected pump or dump of bitcoins, but this happens rarely.

Now in the crypto-currency market, you need to choose good pairs for trading, for example, in relation to bitcoin, because it itself grows in the long term

This is a problem because we do not have sufficient ability to do trading. Trading is a job that requires data and analysis, so that when we cannot have these capabilities properly we can lose opportunities and even fail. So keep trying and improving the abilities we have.

Then who will you blame when you lose? lol. of course yourself, because you're the one who made the choices and made the calculations. but that doesn't mean you have to grieve protracted because of that, trading becomes an expert because of their mistakes, they learn from it.

   Losing in trading will no other than be blamed but ourself, as we penetrated in trade we have to know the consequences in every move we take. Being compassionate and liable to deal it will evade us from losing and I think it much better if we have a lot of experiences by trading as it can guide us to gain enormous profits as well.

Experienced will guide you to perform much better, knowing the potential next movements will bring good position while investing your money, you'll keep losing if you don't have enough knowledge, before anything else, you should put your emotions away and keep learning from what the market is showing, be optimistic not to balme anything but to continue pursuing your goals.

You cannot blame anyone but yourself regardless on how risky the market is. Investing or trading cryptocurrencies is indeed a double-edged sword, where the results are very unpredictable but the rewards are relatively high for profit margins. But once you lose your resources, then you are the only one to blame.

There are techniques and skills mostly used by traders to reduce the risk of losing their trades/investments. Technical analysis of both the internal and external factors are always considered before making a trade and market research is essential to pre-phase the speculated price of bitcoin

---

No matter how you argue that the market is too unpredictable to speculate, just think of others that flourished and became successful in trading. If they can do it what is the reason for us not to?


It is a rule that before you engage in trading, develop a plan and focus only on one coin. If you choose bitcoin as your day trading coin then do extensive research about it. With its highly volatile price in the market, it can also act as a short/long-term investment.

Don't loose confidence, you can't learn trading without losing some money. Initially, most people suffer losses when they start trading. You can only learn by making mistakes.

Better to build their confidence because it can gived them a good vibes in trading. Most of the trader experienced losses their money and even me I losses my money before I learned. I do mistakes in trading but Im not giving up and I'm here now I have a lot of knowledge and I only some mistakes remain but not big compared before and I believ newbie can change their selves too.

Well sometimes people don't learn. And in those cases, well, it's the trader's fault for nit paying attention. Trading is done individually so you have complete control over your decisions. You should have. And though there will be losses due to sudden market swings, you're still the one making decisions.

Try this,

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5128982.0

I'm sure that the trader himself is to blame for the fact that he loses. This is a market where there is a huge capital, it is not a kindergarten. Therefore, no need to rely on the fact that someone should worry about you. Yes, you cannot use all indicators at the same time, but you can still use your brain to control your emotions and actions. I agree with you that it's damn hard to do, so we sometimes lose. But you should initially prepare yourself for this, then it will not create excessive internal experiences and problems.

> 2019, is here,  are we going to continue in losing trade?

yes. you have to embrace your losses in order to be profitable overtime
every monkey in the jungle can learn TA, but only few people are talking about risk management.
you are on the right way, my friend  ;)

If you loss in trade, meaning its your fault. Because you're the only one who is capable to do it not the other traders.
That's why we as a trader need to be wise and careful to avoid loss of our coins. Though, its normal to face loss sometimes
but not normal I guess if you loss always. So, whether you win or loss it is your fault.

Nothing can blame in our mistakes only our self.so if you made a mistake in trading it is your fault by your ownself.by trading we should think it for the very first attempt in trading think it is risky.we already know you should think furst annalize,learn study first so many kinds if crypto to trade.it is not easy to trade and think to earned quickly.I always saying beeda time when you do trading.like what I experience I trade before I consume almost 24 hrs just to monitor a trading market.it is not really easy to trade.you need such time into this.and also manage your time dont lose too much time for trading and also dont forget other things you need to do also your family.I think you must learned first and if got profit already even it is small amount I think you should stop already.be smart into trading so you wont blame your self for your mistakes.

True because we always learn from our mistakes.
Trading is a series of decision making, we can call it a journey if we are really considering it and in a long journey which our aim is to succeed, mistakes is inevitable and we have to accept that and learn. I don't know how much is the percentage of success for all traders but I believe those who consider trading as a serious job or as a passion, will likely get the success.

There is no way to trade without risk. Chances are close to 50 50

Trading is probably not a science but a trading "feeling" is a gift. Those, who are successful in this business, have great intuition and even luck. Only experience and skills are not enough in this case.

It's always happen to us that when everything is going smoothly and some happen and we loose our money. In trading it's a genuine thing. But Yes we can reduce our risk to use minimum lose option. I think it's better way to reduce our risk. In trade you lose you win both are happen. But when we lose we sad when we gain our point we happy. And it's normal thing that we can reduce our lose to learn more and we have to believe that every trade will not successful.

I agree, it is the trader's fault because he didn't analyze the market and the charts better that is why he is losing. We already know that the market is very unpredictable to you cannot just make any decisions without checking all the possibilities because you might just lose.

I understand that for the trader it is very important not only experience, but also real intuition, which by the principle of action resembles a gamble.  Perhaps it is in this regard that many users of cryptocurrency compare trade and gambling.

In a certain thing that, we all can't be a trader nor to be a gambler and even no our passion to be one of them.
If we lose in trading not just because we don't know anything for this but because we have to experience like that to learn something and it seems to consider as a tool to improve our strategies as well as our self as a trader.

We can't avoid mistake or fault as traders. It's simple to explain and elaborate if you in trading need to analysis and get decision what is the right choosen coins to get profits. Wrong decision is our fault but of ofcourse we can't avoid this as human being nobody can get perfect.

My point is that it's important to be able to accept your mistakes in order to learn on it.You should understand that trading is risky and there's a lot of factors.But firstly you shouldn't blame anyone else except of yourself. If you are a newbie it's natural that at first you might lose but then you'll practice and avoid it. Btw, if u don't have any experience and want to try i'd strongly recommend you to trade on Monfex.

I guess that it's really important stop-loss method in order to avoid loses. But since as market is uncertain you can not always avoid fails.For example personally i used to check reputable resources where i can find charts and active signals.Usually i read Monfex' trading ideas and still they haven't fail with their predictions

If a person for a long time loses money in the market, then he should stop and think what he is doing wrong. Most likely his strategy is not suitable for him. Or he needs more knowledge about the market. All newcomers lose money, but to become a real trader you need to learn how to stop losing. First you need to think not about profit but about limiting losses.

For some reason, it seems to me that today the price reduction for the most important coins of the cryptocurrency market is not the last.  Despite the fact that over the past 7 days, Bitcoin has shown about 7% growth, but at the same time over the past twenty-four hours there has been a downward trend.  In addition, with regard to Ethereum, not only for the last day, but for 7 days Ethereum has a red graph of price fluctuations.
