1) practice and experience
2) with fear of losing or missing profits we just f*** our trades
3) patients
4) or what other reasons could be?????? please comment   

There are many reasons why some traders not getting success in trading.

Read the thread below to add them in your list.
    
- Top reasons that leads to fail in trading  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2846647.0)

I assume most traders fail to success because of lack of knowledge and experiences. Experiences means learning from the each trading condition, market, mistakes, and other factors on trading. While Knowledge is related to the basic and technical strategies. Then, it will guide us to know proper strategy to apply and what trading type is fit for us.  

It's not just you. Most retail traders lose money and give up. I've been in some trading groups over the years and there's a very high turnover rate. Most new traders go into it blind and make a bunch of losing trades (or blow up their account) and give up.

For reference: Reasons Why Forex Traders Lose Money  (https://www.thebalance.com/why-do-forex-traders-lose-money-1344936)

The biggest reason is lack of risk management. Bad traders FOMO buy and panic sell without regard for technicals. They take high risk/low reward trades and then they let their losses run.

How long do you trade now?

Achieving a success in trade will not happen overnight. At some cases, it takes years as different trend can happened year by year resulting in different way of making strategies just to deal on those.

Just move forward. More importantly you must learned from your mistakes and take that as a foundation on better trading experience. The dominance of bear market for a long period of time now might be the key reason why new traders are having a hard time learning the way they really want but don't take that as a reason to give up and think that nothing good is happening.

success is not about how we are making the money the day for success is how we handle our money that we have in our hands and how we are saving it if you have low earnings then we need to know how to handle that if we know that kind of things then it will be very easy to be a successful person in life.

First we have to understanding of price action and the trend of crypto market, if the trend bullish like in 2017 just follow it with buy good coin and after target profit achived out from the market, and if the trend bearish we have to trade on margin trading so we can short the price. Beside understanding the trend , we should be have risk management to minimize risk from wrong prediction.

Did you actually do your research and actually try studying how to trade before going in? Because if not, I really suggest that you do so. Also, don't stop studying, even though you already went in into doing actual trades yourself. If you haven't been trading for some time yet, losses are really to be expected. If trading was that easy that you can constantly earn profit early on, then everyone would be doing it.

Also take note that mostly(not 100% of the time) with trading, especially daytrading, with every winning trade, there will be someone who loses.

You are sounding like a gambler not a real trader. Only gamblers will keep trying and then will lose all their bankroll at the end of the day whereas traders will book profits once and will close for the day unless otherwise their analysis indicates another trade opportunity.

I guess you must start learning from our own mistakes. Just keep trading but with the very small capital and focus with conscious to find out that where you are slipping down. I mean to say just trade with very least capital but rather than looking for booking profit just focus on what you actually need to fix in your trading behaviors so that you can groom as a real professional trader.

Learning alone will not help anyone to become a trader and even they become trader, just learning from books will not help them to find success in trading. You must dedicate more time to practice to gain the real market experience and while you are trading in your beginning days, you must risk only small capital and must focus on learning from your own mistake that is the key for success here.

I am a manual trader and that means I need to monitor the price of my token and coins often.

Mostly it is my patience which is my problem. But when I see profit I do make decisions so fast. I think that is one good thing about me.
Another is choices. Once I get so lazy to read about the coin then it will be a problem and it does happen a lot too.
Trading a coin which turns into dust in just a couple of days.

You know the good thing about it?
We learn from it. I say that is when experience comes in.

the reason why you didn't succeed is that you might be too greedy to take a position, I as a trader and even everyone has the same thing also failed but they made it an experience that can be learned, my advice is trying to trade with small capital and knowing how to trade in the crypto world, do not rush to think profits try to prioritize understanding the market first

Yes, greedy is the collapser of party when we are about to close a trade. If a trader is not sticking with his initial target levels and also not keeping the trailing stop loss then may get stuck within market fluctuations even they got into markets at right times. This type of scenarios are most common in sideways markets. Right now, I guess all cryptocurrencies are range bounded and if we do not stick within trading calls for both entering and exiting a trade then we may miss out good opportunities of making easy profits.

Learning in real markets with small capital must be a good suggestion but I do see new traders are not having enough patience to follow these things as they want to be millionaire over night but in reality they do end up biting dust. It seems everyone do learn from their mistakes regardless of what ever we do suggest them.

Profit and loss in trading is a natural thing and must have been experienced by all traders, but to minimize it we need the right analysis before making a decision and one of the most important things for me in trading is experience.

Even expert traders do not always win but just high probability or rate of winning the trade they make. Don't expect too much when you are trading especially when you are just a newbie. Newbie traders are impulsive. Most of them want overnight success in the trades they are into. Patience is one key and realistic return in your trades. Most newbies wants more than 20% in one trade overnight but it didn't happen. Why not create trade with 5 to 10% realistic goal so when it hit you can just again place for another 5% until you reach your goal of getting 100%. But don't expect it to happen in a very short time. You have to learn to read basic chart too to analyse if you are trading at the lower price or not.

I am also not a successful trader, I often fail and sometimes I'm frustrated, but I always cheers myself i can move on, but becoming successful trader we need experience and study the market and always keep learning,we need sharing with some masters to take their knowledge

More traders for sure did not successful on this kind of earning in cryptowrld. There is a lot of reaskn behind that we cannot give what is the exact number of trader who are not successful but if im going to estimate it maybe they have hundreds thousands around the world who are not lucky in the trading and millions of traders are lucky and getting earning money.

Even while have enough knowledge about how to do crypto trading you can make mistakes when you don't have experience so you need to keep practicing and keep learning from your mistakes to be more successful.Now the market is not greenish so it is not for the time to make profits for every trader so don't go for trading until you see the market in healthy condition.

If you are an experience trader you will understand that there some indicators that can predict the downward market and if you understand all those indicators you will know that in both upwards and downwards trend you should be able to make profits.  There is no healthy market conditions we only have healthy analysis.

Those number 1,2 and 3 are the reason why many traders are not winning in trading. There are traders who have lack of experiences that lead them to losses. Improving skill and getting more experiences are important in order to handle different risks.

The fear that assets will go down further is the reason why many traders tend to fail when they hold coins. Fear will also haunt someone to enter the market when there is an opportunity. Even though a person has good knowledge and experience, it cannot be a guarantee that he will become a strong trader who will be consistent with what he believes.

Not enough knowledge about cryptocurrency trading is also one of the reason why we are not successful. All of us want to make profit with trading but most of the people always enter in the world of trading without knowledge about it so in the end they will lose their money and funds. It's hard to avoid mistakes in trading or basically you can called lose money, when I first time do trading I lose a lot of money but I keep on learning and gaining more knowledge that's why I regain all my losses.

For sure those will not get earned also in trading so they spreading that trading is not good at all. Sometimes they spreading fud and having such good experience to work in trading.

because we keep thinking about how to continue trading to make a profit. they continue to have targets for profit. so they are stuck with that target.

https://vantagepointtrading.com/why-most-traders-lose-money-and-why-the-market-requires-it/

This is the best article I've read and would like to share with you as it covered almost all types of market conditions and types.

I believe traders lose mostly due to fomo and getting into a coin without research. Each news and even a rumor has its limited effect and traders need to understand this that without understanding the probability of a winning : losing ratio of a trade, putting your money in it is just pure gamble. When your capital dies under the dark shadows of unusual trading, then dies the interest and then trader takes wrong decisions thinking that he is contesting against himself, trying to chase profits without even knowing what possible outcome will there be of the trade the trader is going to commit.

So if someone knows how to analyse all the indicators are going to make 100% success rate while trading? No right! ::)

All the indicators were just a tool to predict the prices not to determine what is going to happen exactly that is why we call trading is highly risky.

The problem with the current generation is patience. Majority of the youngsters lack it big time, which is something that causes huge problem. So, the first reason is we want to succeed almost instantly, and when it’s not happening there is almost fear of failure.

So, we should give things time and try to build a plan and ensure to stick to it aside from certain changes inbetween. I suggest using these Trading Tools (https://cryptolinks.com/useful-tools), it should really help a lot with doing things.

Maybe practice and experience. To be successful in trading is not easy and requires time, so being able to succeed requires practice and experience. If it always fails, there must be something wrong with the method you applied. Whether it's emotional management, the time to start trading, calculation, or other. So we have to find a good method to succeed. This does require patience so that you continue to practice and learn so that your experience is explored. I am sure  will definitely get success in trading.

trading is sometimes a loss and a profit, but the most important thing is to multiply the experience with various sources, I often read news on search sites or view reviews on videos and also join a group on social media.

I think you are not getting lucky and your strategy is not right. Many investors have made a lot of money from the crypto market in many ways such as investing in altcoin, buying tokens of ICO projects, trading at the time of altcoin pumping, ...
There are many ways to become rich and you need to be more observant to know when you should be involved.

First of all, everyone can not always gain. It does not matter how more you know, the market is always more than you know. Because the graphs sometimes move differently than usual. In addition nowadays situation is so bad and trading causes you to lose more.

Experience here is indeed very important to be able to get a knowledge. indeed the moment of loss inevitably must be experienced by all traders when they start

thinking it must be more than anything else to get the results we want, but you also have to know when to release the coins that are held, especially now it really requires great patience to be successful in trading this year until the year to come

We can't expect everyone will success on trading always. Someone have to loss and someone have to profit. Especially new traders mostly on loss. The reason is experience and patience. For trading you have to aware market conditions always. We can't take profit if we run against market. So you should know little bit analys. Another thing is greedy, sometimes we loss for greedy and it was happened to me when I did trading on beginning. So you have to avoid greediness. Just sell when you are on profit or use stop loss. Otherwise may be you have to loss again. Very low change to get high profit. Because we don't know exactly which coin will be bump suddenly.

3) It should be 'Patience'

Actually, there are some factors on which our trades are dependent on. One among them is luck and in most cases our trades execute in the opposite direction because of bad luck.
The second point you made, 'Fear' is a right thing you said as this leads to panic sell/buy and this leads to lower profits or losses.
The solution to this is practice and experience. Only experience can make us not repeat our mistakes constantly.

Expecting profit too early is one of the problem for the cryptocurrency traders so they are not giving enough time for their holdings to increase its value and end up getting panic then selling for less than how much they were bought for. Keep trading also long term to increase you chances.

Experience is a big part of the problem. Bitcoin is way different than any other trading out there. I agree that they look similar and what not but Forex is still different crypto trading. So we are talking about a brand new trading that not many people have experience on and wonder why we are not doing well. Whales do make money but that requires no experience, when you are rich enough to make any move you want and change the price of any coin then you will definitely see a profit.

However, with small amounts (and even as high as 100k on big coins) it requires experience in the field, so we need to wait some more years and people will get more and more experience with trading and eventually all of us will have 5+ years trading experience that will allow us to be much better than what we are right now.

Some more common reasons could be (it may depend from trader to trader, investor to investor)

1. Greed
2. Setting up a long target
3. Not choosing the right asset when it is the right time

I can't surely tell about others, but I have suffered a lot for the above 3 reasons.

it is because 90% of what is usually found on the internet is pure garbage specially when it is cryptocurrency related. such as the Youtube videos telling you how to trade altcoins and what to trade. so reading them and watching these videos is only going to mislead you!

1) that is the key! you either have experience or don't. it is not impossible to gain experience but it requires hard work and spending a lot of time.
2) having fear is not a bad thing. in fact it is perfectly natural to fear what is going to happen to your money as long as it is not affecting your better judgment.
3) patience is what bag holders tell themselves to justify their idiocy.
4) you already said it in your #1

Don't get upset my friend if you are not having any success in trading now. Trading does not give you instant funds and a lot of patience and skills are required to have profits in trading. Failure will lead you to success. Keep trying and some or the other day the coin you purchase will pump and you will rise up your profits by 1xxxX times.
Those who stay in the markets after failure always have a good life ahead as mistakes teach us a lot.

You really should try to make profits from trading, in order for you to win someone must lose.  You are participating in a zero sum game that adds nothing to society. If you want to add to the crypto space you should build something that on boards new users and makes the experience fun for newbies.

I think the first point of your topic is the most important point for trading, because learning more and looking for more information will make us have more room for profit. And experience will take us to a better step in taking a risk in trading.

Its the fomo around the market as more possible you cannot wait for your token or hodl to pump so youbwill going to switch for the hype token in the market that you may get caught the top because of fomo.
In general though trading is not always good but in proper trading techniques and strategies along with your proper mindset in having patience ypu can earn in trading. Emotions is the biggest part of enemy in the system as it is not only the whales or the other traders your emotions itself is the toughest enemy in this trading. If you cannot wait for the trade to come then you may end up losing all over again.

The first point is to increase knowledge, knowledge, and much more. Most traders do not understand and fall down to trade. There must be patience and patience. It is easy to remember that nothing can be conquered.

If we do not have a strategy to do for ourselves today our investment for sure is going on the bad way, it's been a while since we know that it the course of trading we have a lot of knowledge about it. I am because i am not a bored person especially now because if we are just going to rush and hope that's why we commit a wrong decisions, why not we try to find another way that we know that will not weaken our investment? The true strategy for me is really worthy and enduring that's why i kind of a lucky guys untill this time..

Most common mistakes are greed and panic.

Some people expect to much from a trade. they buy and hold till it goes up 20-30%. Better do multiple trades everyday and lock a small profit on every trade. You will end up with much more profits.

Panic. Lot of people just sell with the first red candle they see after they bought. Just hold on. Price will recover to book some profits

You have to use your knowledge in practise, theory is nothing if you don't consider/use it in real life. Also if trading was something step by step, then everyone would do it and achieve success but there is another factor - luck. It is very important in trading, sometimes when you just can't trade for 2-3 days can be a hugely positive decision and also opposite.

The basic reasons surrounding why some traders are not successful in their investments and trading are due to the fact that they refuse to understand and know the basic principles need to first start a cryptocurrency investment. Investing in cryptocurrency is not similar to any other investment, you need to understand the basic risks and also need to understand how volatile the market is. Some of these traders are too greedy that they invest all their income without thinking over before investing.

Many people loss with trading and few of them get success, don't count but learn from them. I believe everyone already knows what really happen with them, but how they can fix the mistakes is really important. This is the only way get success, stop learn new things ( mindset, method, etc ) but fix the old thing ( you ).

Emotion-driven trading is what makes you into a pig

As you might already know, there are bears and there are bulls in any market. All of them make money in the end. But pigs are neither here nor there and they get slaughtered. The major difference between them and those who actually earn something is that their actions become chaotic if things don't go their way (which happens all the time) which leads to a lot of stupid mistakes which in turn causes massive losses

The last time I make losses was in the year 2016 which was the year I started the crypto business and realizing and learning from one's mistake is definitely the best thing because if one's dont realize his mistake and do the correction such person will continue to make the exact mistake.
What I will advice all crypto traders that make losses in this current market to sort out where things really go wrong for them and make an amendment while you also learn more about how to trade profitable in crypto sphere.

Honestly, they are quite similar. Back in 2013 or early 2014, there was still some semblance of the untainted, emotional Bitcoin market of yore. Ever since then, it was taken over by bots and algorithms. It was infiltrated by institutional traders. At this point, it trades just like crude oil, gold, and some of the heavily commodity-driven forex pairs.

The problem of losing traders is the same as it ever was. They're emotional, they practice bad risk management, and they haven't developed a profitable strategy.

Don't forget, if you know and can mention your mistake. Actually you must learn from that. Succesfull traders must already feel that thing at first they do trading activity. And what make them success is they learn from their mistake.

Everything and as a trader you should notice that early so you can improve it right away and make a good adjustment. If you think you have a weak emotion then better to learn to be more patience and trade without emotion. There’s still time for you to grow, do it now.

In my own words I will say you have to practice before you did be perfect, just like it's written (practice makes perfect) when I started trading like a newbies I made up my own time to practice with a demo account and I got the whole idea first before I took in trading live. Even at trading live I put in some little funds still on practice I never put in all my Capitals yet I was definitely still learning more using the live trading. Secondly you have to put away fear when doing something for the first time dear alone can destroy your interest in making it right. Thirdly you need have patience this part is the number one key to trading.

I can't quite agree with this

I don't know what you mean by commodity-driven Forex pairs as I never traded these and I'm not even sure whether you can actually trade commodities at Forex (after all, Forex is about currency exchange, not commodities). But if we take oil and gold, i.e. something which I'm quite familiar with, it feels different. I'm speaking about commodity futures (as well as options, to a degree), and they are a completely different beast (in what concerns trading experience as well). Unlike crypto, with these assets you have to keep a close eye on things like expiry, rollover, differences with spot prices, and a lot of other things which affect your approach to trading

You can't say all of trader are very successful in trading Because you don't know how it goes. Well for sure get more study about trading and more experience you have the more point how strategy you will get.

It is just simple. You newcomers are the lambs. The experienced traders and veterans are the wolves that are just waiting for your money to be transferred to them. Always remember that in trading, that whenever there is a guy who is winning and profiting, many of people are losing.

In trading always there are people make profit and others people loss money. And to be apart trader that make money we should be avoid greedy and follow the rules of trading and money management. Greedy is biggest enemy in trading so never do it.

If this is your own thought, then you hit the nail on the head with it

I have to add that it is not just about newcomers only and not all newcomers are that lamb as some of them are these wolves in person. With stock markets failing, we should see more of them getting interested in cryptocurrency trading, especially if it is mostly free money for them. And not all "long-standing" bitcoiners are experienced and seasoned traders as many of these people are hapless bagholders with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies

If you do all that things and still not profit from trading then i see one thing you lack and thats establishing your trading strategy. Trading is not about that three things because even you read books and knows how to trade, if you dont work smart, you will not earn anything.

One can lack experience in trading as still manage to be successful,you do not have to be a established expert to trade successfuly,all you need is a laid down plan,strategy and trading technique,once you've gotten all this in place effectively,you can manage to trade successfuly lest you're not greedy as greed is one big barricade to trading success.

I think it is because the strategy that you have. Trading is like a trial and error game which may also result in losses at times but it would be a helpful way for us to gain better in trading. We can't do trading perfectly and it's never-ending learning and practice to just strive better.

You can be the best technical analyst in the world but if you don't have a proper risk management strategy you will lose. It is statistically proven. Also you need to be cold hearted when trading, don't put any emotions in it. Of course that you can go out and celebrate when you mark up some profits and you are NOT TRADING anymore, but until then cold af. ;)

At least you remember that crypto is high risk investment so if you can't win from it just stop it.
There are many way to success.

Maybe you can't success on crypto but you can success on forex or ordinary trading ?
So always try something new !

Friend is very simple, you are not understanding the market, do not let yourself be carried away by indicators, stripes, triangles ... that do not work, remember that trade is OFFER-DEMAND, and most are humans that operate there. It is the presence of robots, but if you let yourself be carried away by technical analysis without knowing what is happening, you can never win ... there are many books that can educate you and help you understand the market.

Trading is designed in such a way not everyone can be successful at it so there are many traders will face losses as well and this bearish market keeps the losses more and more than compared to stable market,so you need to make winning strategy of you want to be successful don't just follow the same.

With time people learns because to have good profit you must have fine skills that you can gain only with experiencing something, the other thing a trader should know is to control your emotions and never take any step emotionally, rise and  fall will come across your way so you  make it an is and keep investing bravely.

It 's never been a good choice when you left the one that you loved the most.

Anyway, trading fails us don't just give up if you really love trading but remember you have to your all if you don't want to leave the trading industry. I've read some people that spent a lot of years just to master their strategy in the market that even without looking at the chart they already know when the market would go. And that is the result of hard working person all of his efforts and paying off in the end.

It is no that easy to make money. If you invested in bitcoin in 2017 you could have made a hefty profit. Patience is the key here for any form if investment, never plan to invest when the market is riding high, invest when the bear market has the clutches. I would invest in this market and wait for the long term till the market rallies again.

I don't trade myself , but i would say you doing something wrong . Try different methods . Maybe you are risking too much , try with less money and see how it goes . Once i did x50 margin long on BTC and got rekt after 5 mins , but if i would do x2-x10 margin i would be profitable currently :) So check your risk management and look if it could help you

The above points are very good reasons why most of the traders will not be a good trader in his journey and most importantly without experience you cannot success you know your field and without patience you cannot stay long period of time in trading.

I failed for my silly reasons:
1. Always choose Altcoin according to your emotions and not learn about it before.
2. Still buy them when the market is growing, and this kills me.
3. Too greedy when I had a profit made me fail.

Well, at least you're being honest and I think you're not the only one here. I'm also been trading with my emotions but I do learn to control it but not that perfect. Sometimes I still lose and not using logical thinking.


You mean buying at top?


Hahaha. Everyone falls for this trap. That's why you better have entry and exit strategy to minimize greediness. If you hit your exit plan then there's no way to stay that long in the market. Sell them and move to the next coins.

Yeah exactly those reasons are affecting your trading success. But for a trader its really important to follow such things like,

1. Right time entry as a buyer.
2. Create own prediction when to buy or sell.
3. Gathering info about a project before buy.
   

Fear and greed are the most dangerous enemies of any trader. If one can control both these factors he may have good success. Some people take trading as quick rich scheme and ultimately lose their account, taking high risk on any trade is not recommended at any stage. Patience is another key to success in trading.
There may be many successful traders using different trading strategy but you will find all these 3 factors common everywhere, controlling greed and fear and having patience. Just try it you will successful one day.

I think the two biggest reasons are

FOMO (weak hands)

and

leveraged trading. Noobies go in at 50x and then go to sleep. And wake up wondering why their money is gone...

Yes, i agree with you! Those are the main commun mistakes that made traders not getting success in theirs trades. I think the first step and patience are the most important Things when we talk about trading, also as you said fear of losing or missing Profits are also big mistakes for a trader. Successful traders believe in them trades and read carefully the market moves before doing any trade.

The above 3 ways are a main key to success and yet there are a lot of things which should be kept into consideration while going for trading and have a good successful profits ahead. Right time to enter the markets is always a best point to be kept into consideration even after we gather enough info about the project we are buying.

There have many reason for loss on crypto trading and i was face also and still i am learning crypto from different site or article and this forum also.Our first mistake we cannot fix our sell order because of we always make a huge profit and when price going dump for 2 weeks sell our asset with loss .So first think your target profit and always get small profit and increase asset and i hope you will be success .

The problem isn't about setting sell orders. Most Crypto traders don't have proper risk management and strategies in place. All they do is to patronise signal channels and pump groups. Even after making mistakes, They don't take note of those mistakes in order to learn from it. Instead, They close downntheir account and give up. It's the same for every other trader that has given up already.

All the steps are being very important to be a good trader but not only the above points are important for a good trader but also the interest in your job is taking to you to the profitability but patience and practice will more important to be a good trader.

Crypto trading really takes a lot of risk, specially to those persons who are lack of knowledge about cryptocurrency, and even those who already knows in trading. It's because of the high volatility of its price, specially in bitcoin, that could be so difficult to anyone to predict of its price if when it will rise or fall, which causes the losses of many traders.

Trading with emotions is exactly why the trading bot community grew so much in the recent years. Most of those trading bots do not execute trades that are beyond our understanding, hell almost all bots just do what indicators we tell it to do and buy when those indicators are looking right and sell when it looks good to sell, nothing extra ordinary.

The only reason why people use those is that they want to leave the emotions out the door and just make it as robotic as possible. Buying on bottom and selling on top is not as easy as it sounds so I always suggest if a price is looking like it has grown 100%+ in the past 1 or 2 months then do not buy that coin, only buy the dropping coins. Also the stop loss that helps you not lose money can be reverse engineered for a sell order and if you think losing 10% is dangerous and put a stop loss, I suggest putting a 10% to take out the profit as well.

Many trader were failed just because they don't love their job or not even listening to the others. We need others suggestions and advice just to guide us and for that, it will help us to succeed. Another reasons is that, lack of self confidence, capitalization limit, strategies and the last one is TRADING Plan. All of these things are the big factors that could affect our trading future.

I was failed in crypto trading because of greedy. So this emotional is one of the factor that should be to avoid in trading. Beside greedy i was failed because did not have diversifiying and risk management. By keep learning from the pass, hopely i will be more better in trading activity.

       Actually last quarter of 2018 is not really good for trader since cryptocurrencies are getting down and so many traders are losing by disposing their holding and even their new purchase tokens are also sold .

I think you do not have enough patience and experience that make you a trader who always lose. You said that you are reading books and videos about trading and
I can say that  what you always doing is not enough, double the hard work that you doing for you to feel your progress in trading. You can regain your losses if you have more information in trading of cryptocurrencies.

Things to keep in mind if you're trading. tip number one is find a good exchange with a decent volume rate for your orders to easily get filled. Tip number two is dont invest money you can't afford to lose cause you will surely get emotionally unstable and it will cloud your decision making and last dont forget to learn, study and research cause it will help you in the long run.

That timing also been the hindrance making successful trading, if you will add more patience and do more research and allow yourself
to open new ideas, the next thing you'll noticed is you will developed proper understanding and from that you can take more risk,
your actual activities inside exchange is the best practice to enhance your knowledge.

I felt bad for those people who quit their job because they think cryptocurrency will change their life forever but they were too noob to enter the crypto world without some basic knowledge about of the market. Some of them even loaned their own houses just to invest their money in bitcoin but worst things happened in 2018 and up until now.

If they think trading is just as easy as selling an ice cream, they were too noob to understand and dive in without some basic knowledge about of trading.

In most cases many newbie traders didn't garnered enough information and follows a leaning process in trading if possible mentored before delving or rushing to trade, I believed a newbie requires enough practising with aid of demo.
presently there are sites where demo trading can be made be it cryptocurrencies or forex this will enable the trader to make consistent profits before investing the funds to an exchange or broker else such a trader will be at a losing end.

failure or success starts from yourself doing it, because there are already so many people who fail in trading because of high emotional and greedy feelings. the problem is that in trading we must avoid these two things if we want to succeed in doing anything

High emotional could be understood for a moment but greed is never good for trading profits  Greed has given me terrible experiences sometimes and i have lost a huge amount of funds greedily. I do always prefer staying calm and watching the profits turn higher without any greed in our mind. These days, i kind of forget about the invested money into trading and only check them back on certain time interval so that it does not create any greed in my mind and also the profits go larger.

Trading, just like football is a skills that the trader has to develop.  One thing that many of us has forgetting is that only the skillful and professionals really make money from the market.  If you are not skill in trading you will keep losing.  I could remember this saying in forex that 95% of traders lose money in trading and only 5% makes the profits that 95% lose. Many traders are not ready to spend quality time in learning how to trade professionally instead their are focusing on the profits their can make from the market.

What about luck ?  You  guys cant just forget . i guess that is the reason on why the op and most of us are kept on loosing in trading because we only depend on our skills and other traits but we forget that trading also needs luck because it is like gambling  . we cannot possibly predict the outcome of the price  even if we based on the charts or any other detailed guides out there  .

It sometimes our luck will play but we still need skills for it and effective strategies. People have to look trading as an easy work but in reality it is not.
Understanding with the market will makes us more efficient in trading and we need to focus of what we do, and never speculate high cause we never know that exactly. Think of our limitations and we should care for it.

I don't really think this is the case here

Though I agree that cryptocurrency trading is pretty much like gambling. What I think is that people were blindly believing that Bitcoin was going to rise only. If you read the forum a couple years ago, everyone was euphoric about Bitcoin's future. So instead of getting out of their positions immediately when things turned from bad to worse in early 2018, they started adding more to their market exposure. Obviously, this couldn't end well

I find that some traders fail because of insufficient research on the coin they are investing in. Another reason I can think of will be panic selling when bad news surfaced.

if what you mean [is in 2018 and 2019 I consider it natural, because the situation is indeed difficult for us to get profits, so pay attention and learn.

Maybe because of FOMO, even the worst trading isn't your skill, I mean if you keep repeating the same mistakes repeatedly then I suggest switching to stock trading or to another field, ok if 1 to 3 times you repeat mistakes and learn from them, but if more than that, chances are you don't have expertise in that field.

2018 and early 2019 are not the right time to trade because the market is in a declining condition and even continues to decline and you will only get small profits but
in a very short trading process when there is a slight increase depending on how you trade.
It's good this year you buy it in large quantities and then you hold it back in the long run and this is the best way and believe that one day there will be improvement and be patient even if you have to wait a long time but it will happen.

Any time is good time to trade. You don't necessarily need to buy low and sell high, which would actually make this market not very profitable overall or even outright unprofitable. You can sell low and buy lower, then rinse, repeat. Or you can use shorts (as in short-selling) and then reap profits directly from a falling market. Ultimately, you can profit off volatility irrespective of whether the market is currently rising or falling without ever thinking too much about it

That would make you a pro

if in the year 2017 it was the year of many traders and investors who succeeded in crypto, because in 2017 crypto was very good and fast to experience an increase compared to today which is still difficult to get profit

Most importantly the book first. Was very much important for a trader to start his journey here in this field because there are lots of difficulties are here in trading so before entering into this field practice and making experience is important to survey long period of time.

Yes.Success does not happen with just a single night so never stop practicing trading until you will be close to its perfection.It will really take more years to be realized.And do not be afraid to take risks because most of the time,those risks-takers have become more successful and profitable at the end of the day.

It's because you're new to trading. Before entering trading you should know all the terms and symbols so that you can't loss your funds. Sometimes predicting will helps you out and get big profits. Yes, we should check the prices and the numbers of order because we can prevent losing funds.

If you are newbie, it is not unusual to experience some losses in trading because you are still learning the way to trade. I had my own share of losses during my early days of trading because of emotions and lack of strategies even though I already knew how to use technical analysis. Every trader need to be patience and stay focus in their trading even they are still learning.

Not all in the books are true, theory is much more differ into actual trade.
Then when it comes to platform exchange most traders who are not deeply aware in trading yet
are mostly controlled by their emotions which is most of the time loss of their coins in the end.
We can't stop our emotion, but we can able to control it if we have discipline into ourselves.

if it depends on the people themselves doing it, because there are already so many people who fail because they are too ambitious and greedy and cannot control their emotions. because for success that must be avoided greedy and emotional nature when trading

I think wrong predictions can also be the reason someone fails in trading. I think not everyone can trade, if your goal to join Crypto is to make a profit, but always fail in trading, then I advise you to look for another job, don't stay in the wrong place.

Many traders fail in their transactions because the level of knowledge and experience is sure to be lost to the panic situation, no matter how good it is. We can also see how big investors have affected our psychology, especially if we think that they are making too many unsuccessful transactions as a result of trading with insufficient knowledge and experience. When we will not be caught in the panic, then we will realize real successful trades.

I`m a starting trader, but i`m a starter for half a year already   :-\ is it possible to learn trading without any pendings, unconfirmations and so on at all  :(

we all are still learners. we learn everyday trying to be perfect. the more we learn on how to trade, the more we perfect our trading habits but you must follow rules and also bear in my that you will loose trades. you might loose more than you expect. just be careful or you can just stick to the option of buy low and wait whenever it goes high and sell. if you are not greedy. you might stick to that.

So it means i'm not successful trader.  ;D because i keep get panic and cut loss my assets. Even i trade for a years, actually since 2015 i start trade on bittrex and Poloniex when it have high volume but always panic until now.

You are probably doing something repeatedly wrong. Find out where you are going wrong and try to fix it. Overcome the problems you are facing. Learn from those mistakes and gain experience. And if you are trading, don't trade higher amounts. Trade amounts you are comfortable to lose and slowly increase it. One thing, don't mess up your trades due to any kind of uncertainty. Think twice before executing any moves.

FOMO and FUD are the best tools to help you with your trade so dont just be afraid of them instead just embrace them and focus on how they can work to help you thats the only way you can succeed with your trade There will always be fear just be comfortable with it

The reason is that you have a bad trading strategy or you don't have it at all.

I think the greediness is the big part that will always traders do in trading. They believe that the price can increase higher even if the price is at the highest price and they decide to wait for a while and see the price reaching higher. But they forget that the price can get back to the lower price at any time so they are late to take their profit. We already see the profit comes, but we want a bigger profit, so we are not selling at that price. So when you can see the profit comes, it is better for you to take the profit and forget about making a big profit unless there is any high pump happen in the market.

Many traders, veteran or new, fail nowadays because in this season, technical analysis is not applicable anymore. What is offered in Youtube and is followed by many trading coaches nowadays is learning to read candles and graphs, and with the current situation of the market now, it's hardly reliable. The flow of the market gets more and more difficult to predict now. So don't feel sad. You are not alone in that disheartening situation. Use that failure to explore the trading space to your advantage.

I certainly agree with this thought (added some merits for it)

As these are my thoughts exactly. Whatsmore, this is what I often find myself doing, i.e. doing the same mistake again and again. Well, it doesn't cause me a lot of losses but it does cause me to earn less profits in the end. I can't stop doing it as when the time comes I instinctively think that I'm doing everything right only to see some time after that I'm actually wrong. I understand as well that I have already been making the same mistake in the past. So it hard to learn and change your habits if they are kinda hardwired

Because trading using these skills means not all people are suitable for this method. so when you try, learn from experience and theory but the results are still a loss, meaning that there is something wrong with you, whether it's your learning method, strategy technique, or your patience?

because in trading it is not easy and requires a good strategy and must have great patience, because it is the first key if you want to succeed if my advice is also

Patience is a necessity for us to achieve our desired success. Do not lose hope, the time will come we will be successful in trading. Perhaps not yet, but we always remember nothing impossible especially in cryptocurrency.  If we've met failure, just proceed and continue to aim trading  favorable results.

I have nothing to say that the frequency of trading is failing, maybe others, but I know my friend that he is really successful in trading so we can not say that we are disappointed because life is like a world only once under and sometimes at the top so do not lose hope in life because we study how good it is to be a successful trader someday

There are many reasons why traders do take the L on trades. It ranges from Emotions, Impatience... The list goes on and on. However, A major cause of failure is due to lack of trading skills. Believe it or not, The market is a mixture of noobies and the big guys and most of these newbies know little to nothing about trading. They either fomo in trades or follow Signal groups. And the story has always been the same.

Did not use stop loss, FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and greedy is all factor that make trader getting loss. So for all beginner trader should be first learn about it , because this is the most factor that make all trader not getting success.90% more of trader loss because of that, so its not enough to have knowledge about technical analysis only.

Emotions is one of the biggest reason why we do f*cked up our trades. Decision making with having no clear mind or plan due to emotion will most likely mess up not only
yourself but also with your wallet/funds. Mistakes cant really be avoided but as a trader you should really know on how to control or handle yourself in to these kind of situations.
Practice makes perfect but it will surely cost you alone the way. True winners are those people who dont know to give up inspite on challenges.

Your trading skills and your experiences are still not enough. Focus on improving your skills and getting more experience for you to become successful trader. You should not worry even if you keep committing mistakes because I am sure that you will learn many lessons from your mistakes.

for me some reason why I keep failing in some of my trading decision are i'm easily affected when there are negative news happening in my coins. i trade with emotion and the fear of being FOMO or sometimes I chase the price of certain coins after i sold it in a much lower price.

So sad because you are not successful in trading. But if you are want to continue and try again another luck that is good and for that time you need to avoid that can cause for you before to lose money when you are trading before. And do some plan,  techniques and startegy that can help to you. Most of the people who are success including me I have patient of waiting and doing research every single decision I've made to avoid mistake someday.

Most common traders's mistake but you need to feel like you are a pro trader and then analyse the market based on your knowledge and decide the buy or sell and don't get caught of negative news,if there is then be the first one to react.

Thats true, many people have good strategies and knowledge, but they forget that patience is important in trading too, patient about waiting for prices to rise, patience to wait for opportunities to buy, patience to succeed, you will very need that too dude.

it's true the problem is that the most frequent mistakes of traders are emotional and greedy too. the problem is there are many traders who are crows because both of these properties are still used when trading

Trading isn't simple and it requires time, so having the capacity to succeed requires practice and experience. On the off chance that it generally bombs, there must be some kind of problem with the strategy you connected. Regardless of whether it's enthusiastic administration, an opportunity to begin exchanging, computation, or other. So we need to locate a decent strategy to succeed.

This requires tolerance with the goal that you proceed to rehearse and realize so your experience is investigated. I am certain will get achievement in trading very soon :)

Number ome reason is because we dont really know the art of trading. Most people trade blindly without knowing much about TA and FA . And most at times people loose due to greed

Most people won't get far and they will end up losing more to exchange fees anyways.  Your better off spending your time starting a business or learning other skills that are more uesful.  Afterall trading is just a zero sum game in the end so in order for you to win someone else must lose.

The problem why most of the trader doesn't get far because their main intention in the cryptocurrencies markets is to get rich quick. Which it is a big no since trading can't be learned in a short amount of time, it required a long time to gather experience and education.

The trader newcomer just needs to keep work hard. The successful trader wouldn't be whining about the progress they failed. They just considered it an experience for a better future. You might lose your capital but it is worth for our experience and education.

The first thing I will like to address is the thought that trading cryptocurrencies is a get rich quick scheme. That thought could not be more wrong due to the fact that you can loose all before you blink. Apart from looking at trading as a long term activity, you also need to have good starategies and risk management structures in place. By having good strategies, I don't mean you should follow signal channels and pump groups as these have the potential to throw your funds down the drain. My best advice for novice traders is to inculcate the culture of noting down their mistakes while limiting greed and emotions as these two characteristics have no place in the world of trading.

Every trader is holders too. By holding many good coins, everyone lost huge money last year and the market movement still not promising! So, before making a brave decision in trading every trader is getting fear or confused! So, they can't make success in the most trading. But you should remember that failure is a common term in trading. The crypto market is in bear condition so you will not get profit all the time. If you can't make a profit then I would suggest you stop trading for a while, as I did before. But I started trading again and now I am happy again.

No crypto currency will ever make lost since he's trading and holding good coins. But, that can only change when he decide to cut losses which I also called panic sell because the crypto market will always get back up and the only important things are select good coin and wait patiently when the market is not looking good.
Note : crypto currency simultaneously trading is not for everybody.

Trading is not base in the success you get definitely you can't always win the market, and other words it's base in the aspects in trading which you are good at. The market doesn't really have a professional we all are just following up what we know.

In my own part i will point my fingers to the number on the list because if one wants to really get it enough on trading you really need to spend time to practice and gain some experience practice makes perfect just like it's been said.

Trading isn't really for everyone which no matter how hard you do try but the outcome is still the same even you are engage on it for longer periods.

Panic is inevitable which do really make your actions not to be right because your mental is disturbed due to emotions and once you cant handle it then  it will overall affect your reasoning and analysis.

Right.Do not make such  trading if you are not so sure of what you are doing because it will only make you lose in the end.It's better to study first and observe others particularly those successful traders on how they make such trading.If you think you are now ready to trade,then start even with a small capital first.Just keep on trading and eventually you will be good with it in just a matter of time.

That makes the difference since many trader are greedy nowadays to have some easy profit. Trading will took more time before you finally realize that you are making money, short term usually don’t last. Its indeed better to study first before you trade, this should be the first step.

entering in crypto trading cannot be done in a hurry. if we want to profit, we must master the price increase first, we must make observations first and we can do some trade simulations. do not enter a trade if we are not sure of the price in the future. maybe other traders have some tricks that can make us profit quickly? let's share..

Actually, there's a lot of reason why traders lose but as of my self the problem for me is fear of losing. I am afraid to take the risk even though I know that risk is the only way to earn big profit. Besides, patient is also the problem I want to take care of because I'm bad of it however, I can now manage it somehow.

This is not your mistake. So many people are there who have been going through a tough time in trading. Actually the market is down and this is probably the time to hodl rather than trying to trade. But, this is one of the most promising businesses in the future and if you are not successful now bear in mind that you would be one in future as the digital economy is growing robustly.

In the first place dude, how would you define success here in this industry?
The only why they never succeed, it is because they are no. 1 was they are lack of knowledge, then
2nd was they are very impatience which is resulting  always into loss of their coins most of the time.

it is all about time and dedication. no knowlegde is a waste. you might need to go back to books and learn more. you might engage yourself with more trading books than what you have precisouly. i bet you, you will start making progress gradually. ut takes time but it worth the process.

Because we are thinking the price will keep going up in bull market and we dont know where is the bottomed when bear market , and we dont use any stop loss and trailling stop.  We should be also trade in margin trading to short the price so we can also make profit in bearish  trend.  We have to remember crypto has very high volatility  so we should be use stop loss for each trade.

It is not always a win-win situation in trading. We tend to fail because our emotions are always getting in our way. Do not give up. Just continue learning about indicators, try to understand the order book and be aware of any fuds and news. It may somehow affect the trading.

Being incosistent. As a trader, we should be consistent on what we are doing. If we tend to be inconsistent, opportunities may have gone as it may only knocks once. Being consistent in learning, reading/watching news, and etc. is a good practice of getting sucessful in their trades.

- Well, lack of knowledge and lack of skills is really the first reason that leads us to failure but many new people never realize it, they always feel their skills and knowledge are enough but in fact, everything they have is only a very small part of a wide field. And the next reason is exactly as you say, many people have very good knowledge and skills but they face a lot of psychological problems, they cannot control emotions during critical moments, which makes them fail in trading, and one reason I think few people think, is luck, many people possess the quality of a successful trader, but a serious lack of luck makes them very unstable in trading

I think we have chosen the wrong time to invest or have a poor observation. These are the two main factors leading to the failure of investment.
Our crypto market has a unique way of working and often has dumps and bumps quite often. We should take advantage of it to surf and earn money everyday.

Maybe you're not yet fully understand how the cryptomarket goes by, even though you already did reading and saw videos on how to trade. Or either you have to take more experience in trading in order to find out all by yourself on how to get profitable on it.

Everyone can't just make profits, in order for someone to win in trading someone has to lose.  So just remember when you make money you are actively taking money from others.

You want us to tell you whats wrong with your trades? How about posting your trades here, the ones that you suffered heavy losses so we can diagnose what happened. Don't worry if you suffer losses, it's not only you who commit mistakes, there's a lot of them out there and they just don't to talk about it and they just want to move on to another trade. Learn from your mistakes.

If people just trade because somebody else made money that is wrong because they do not know how much they would have lost or how much experience they have and what skills help them to trade successfully which not eventually one can do it .

I think that the reason is lack of patience and belief, when you learn how to analyse a project and get the decision to invest , you should always get the emotions out and keep tracking every single progress, and always dont fall love in projects (invest only what you can afford to lose)

Lot of traders starting to trade even they don't have enough experience to start from it. So its better to explore about trading and learn lessons before starting to make money from it.

There are also many unsuccessful trader out there including me lol. I think it's because of many new traders or beginner trader blindly buy and sell without thinking or because of some people talk shit like "buy this coin, it will pump and bla bla bla" in chat room (on the exchange).

It is very difficult for one to become successful in trading crypto currency if you a good knowledge and experience if what trading in all about. It is always advisable to have a good knowledge of technical analysis particularly with the use of candle stick in my opinion as that work for me and that of fundermental analysis since it usually affects technical decision.

I think you are easily influenced by other people even with people you don't know at all, you should not be easy to trust other people so that your assets will still be safe because in the trading world you must remain confident and not easily be affected by people you don't know.

I began to realize that even professional traders can lose, because market conditions are sometimes unpredictable, we cant intervene the market, so don't always blame yourself if you lose. but some other reasons such as emotional feeling can also occur in experienced traders. my tips are always control and always learning

If other traders were doing mistake means you can make benefits from it,because trading profits comes from the losses of some other trader.So you need to make the right decisions while others were doing it wrong.Trading is an emotion game of all traders so you need to understand what will be the outcome activity of the current status on the crypto market to be successful.

That will be our mistake to listen to other people says because we are not analyzing those coins. We are too greedy to expecting the pump from them which we don't know if that is true or not. Besides that, we still learning about trading and we make so many mistakes in analyzing the chart so we cannot get success. But I believe that if we don't stop learning, we will be able to get success in the future and it's only a matter of time before we can get there.

That's because this is not the right place for you mate, same with the others.
It is really hard to be a traders especially when we are not being passionate with that and if we don't put some extra effort. If we don't know how to adjust the market situation definitely it will  bring us down and taking away our hopes.

And it's a journey for most of us. It's like not we gonna learn everything overnight. It will take lot of our time and patience and extra effort as you have said. So if you're not successful then don't give up, I'm sure at one point in time, you can achieved your goals here, others may get it like in short amount of time, but majority of us, sometimes we need to push ourselves to gain that needed experienced.

I will agree that its a journey, you start from scratch and you learn it from there. It`s new for everyone, except maybe forex brokers, and people who traded with stocks, everyone else had first touch with trading with crypto. Crypto opened a door for masses, you need to have computer, internet (what most people already have) some money (you can earn it online, slower but you can) and you are ready to go. I think that people should wrote on paper what they do, or to run some program that track trades (if they are ready for that). Only with tracking your tradings you can succeed in long term.

The main reason is haste. I think so. After all, we all want to quickly get good money and often neglect careful study. But this is a mistake. After all, it is better to study everything and anticipate all possible adverse outcomes of events than to learn from your mistakes and lose money. Do not forget that only the patient people will be able to achieve their goal.

Many of them have good knowledge of it actually before getting into trading but what destroys them is purely Greed.
Greed is what makes them blind to when to leave the market, out of greed many of them invest with little money, and want to perform the magic of multiplying it immediately without compounding, how on earth will a trader invest with $100 and expect to make $2500 in return immediately, because there is a magic trading tool called margin trading or leveraging. Ask many failed traders, they will tell you how much they leverage with expecting the market to be so volatile for them to turn small capital into immediate fortune.

The main problem I see is this, majority of failed traders hears that they make money in trading, and then, they go on Google to search what trading is, look up to YouTube to get some tutorials and then enter trade with the confidence that they have learnt enough or bold enough to trade, after entering the trade, they are faced with life reality of trading and then fail because they have no strategy.

When you rush into something, it’s obvious you will rush out; this is the case of many unprofessional crypto traders.

It has been difficult to gain profits in the bearish market situation, most people have been losing except a few. Some experienced traders have been making profits in this difficult market situation.

I think that today everyone has lost their profitable interest from the cryptocurrency market. If you take into account the daily trade, then you need to have a very large and serious experience in this field of activity. But if we are talking about long-term storage, then the profit is obtained only by the person who names and other sources of income and will not sell their assets at current prices.

In bull market is easy to make profit, just buy 10 top ranking coins and we will make some profit but greedy and FOMO make us loss money again. So we should be always control this natural emotion. Never be greedy and use risk management is key to make good profit. Knowledge about technical analysis is just second thing in trading. There are only 2 trend in crypto market, that is bullish and bearish and we should be only enter to this market when bullish trend and exit from it if any sign the trend change to bearish.

Lack of patient can also be the cause. but I think there are many other reasons that make someone lose in trading. because failure in trade can be caused by various things, emotional feeling is also sometimes experienced by many traders. You have to know which one is lacking and fix it dude..

Successful in trading is in your hand. If you want to be success and not failed you need to have the characteristics of the successful traders. Patient is number one,  don't panic, don't fear when the price is down because if that potential what ever happen to it they probably recover again, you must do a research on the action or to your decision that you are buying and selling the coins.

I think too many people in crypto anticipate high returns and are in it for the fast money, so if a coin or token they trade doesn't pump to their liking and within the time frame they want it to pump, then they just dump and sell at a loss. Or they go into some pump groups and signal groups on the telegram, follow those so-called VIP signals and then by the time they buy the coin or token, the VIPS are dumping on their bags. To be a good trader, you need to pick some good picks that if you are left holding a bag for a while, at least you know it's a solid project so the bag doesn't feel so heavy. You need to trade with a cool head or you will lose.

According to me lose and profit is all in our own hands, if we will be wise while investing and while selling I am sure there will be no lose but only profit, mostly lack of knowledge and lack of patience makes market down, which causes lose for all traders, being emotional is not good act so avoid it as much as you can.

Because in trading, there are more losers than winners. Most of them are newbies that very reckless in buying their coins and only believe to a random guy that had convincing statements or rather tweets with supported technical analysis or some proof of his previous profits. And we know there are like 60%-80% of new traders do that for a few years before they really learn.

Maybe trading is not your passion or expertise, in trading, in my opinion profit is not the main factor to make you successful, even though profits are often a benchmark and I think there is a separate side to profit. You say you have read a lot of books and looked at the video and do you really understand the information and lessons that were delivered.

Everyone doesn't afford to travel in the first class there are very few peoples to afford it. There is need ability (money) to afford the first class. Just think like that, in the trading platform looks like same except one thing there needs money here needs proper knowledge.

Success won't knock your doors, it is us who need to go behind the same. It might be quite hard to learn some basics as well invest small funds and experiment the same. Traders without any knowledge just invest and expect profit, which isn't possible other than few lucky ones. Next category traders buy and then expect big profit in short. To get a regular earning it is good to go along with the market, if not long term holding is a must.

Exactly, if it's not your passions though you read a lots of informations and watch different strategy it's still tough for you to practice those and succeed, trading is not for everyone we should accept the facts that there's skills people who can take advantage and find their edge to survive and compete with
others, if you can't adjust and you are still not getting anything better to assess yourself, maybe its time to move on and change your activities.

Even if it's not your passion, you can still be an efficient trader and have successful trades most if the time. I don't think most successful traders actually are that passionate about what they're doing. They're likely detached from all that. Reading and watching trading related things are good but experience is always the best way to excel. Trading is about taking risks and experience teaches you a lot about risk management.

I am sure the most important factor in dealing with trading is the desire to win so that logic is ignored, prioritizing wanting to win quickly and wanting to win big.
Because prices change rapidly while the decision to sell or buy must be right, there is no choice but to be patient with emotional stress that can turn defeat into luck.

Reasons are many to fail on trade, the most important thing is when we look into crypto space people fail to recognize on targeting it to a long term rather short terms or intraday is what people expect to gain returns on! In such situations i prefer to have a type of syndicate and have a collective decisions for mutual profits!

Because market price situations were not in our side eventually many traders has been failed throughout 2018 and most of us cannot avoid loss because the price of major cryptocurrency were dropped and it's not easy to get profit from downtrend situations and if you consider these loss as your valuable experience maybe in the future your trading results will much better than the previous one

As a personal experience, I see this:
1. Rush decision making
2. No idea what trading really is
3. Don't know how to conduct a research
4. Rely only on a untrusted sources
5. Doesn't know how to plan and organize
6. No Strategies
7. All in one investing (They focus only on a single player, and not distributing his/her investment properly)
8. Don't know how to stop
9. Don't have a record of there trades (common for beginners)

and etc.

Well there are still a lot but those above are most common mistake for new traders.

I think the no. 1 reason problem was lack of knowledge, even you watch video many times and read books about in trading if you're not absorbing it, I guess it will useless at all in the end. Then, you supposed to have a dedication, determination and lastly Passion in it mate.
Perhaps, with this for sure your going to succeed this time. 

what I have noticed about myself is I get the right call 70% and make profit that can be anything from 1% to 100% but the other 30% kill me I cant control my losses well

A good trader can make money in any market, doesn't matter if its a bear or bull.  The volatility the crypto markets provide is a dream compared to most traders when its compared to the stock market.  I find it very difficult for myself to take short positions though because I know the long term potential of crypto is very high.

Indeed, if you feel like a failure then therei is something wrong with you, you are responsible for the results in your trade,
so look at yourself what causes you to lose and not be successful in trading, are you lacking knowledge, skills or patience?

Management risk and also management psychology are the most important thing which should be owned by trader beside the theory/strategy. Sometimes I used to see the character of trader on youtube (most of them are forex trader) and they tell that the most important thing when someone get a loss in trading are they don't have management risk and management psychology well when they trade.

Because the theory you can create with yourself if you I've known the basic of trading science but if you need a suggestion about management risk and management psychology you need other people to manage it and learn from your experience. So, in your case don't judge yourself that you don't have a good strategy but you need to look another side such as your psychology itself. Learn more about it and you can feel the change if you have known it.

If you trade the traditional way without leverage and future contracts it's much harder to make money in the bear market. You have to wait for a big dip and buy there just to sell at the bounce and wait for another dip. If you miscalculate and it keeps falling you exit fast and try to enter again lower. The volatility is good but the unpredictability is also much higher. You saw what tether FUD did to the prices for a while.

Having a negative mindset will make you lose a ton of money to be real,if you are afraid to lose money while trading then dont trade its not for you.Trading still comes with a huge risk of losing all your money if you going all in.So better to improve your mindset before going and make sure you really want to do it and you can take losses without you destroying your self

Most of you are fond of putting all your hopes on Bitcoin trading and you never consider other options there is. Crypto trading is not the only way you can make money. Since there market is in bear, a lot of traders are going to find it difficult in doing a short term trade. So it’s best to go for a long term trade and have patience, then you can go for other things that can be making you money till crypto market gets back to normal.

Yes, there are people who don’t have any experience but they just want to trade and make money, but it doesn’t work and they are always losing money. Trading is not meant for everyone, there are other ways too. If you are still insisting you’re going to be a trader then you should take your time and learn it, instead of trying to trade when you don’t know from A to Z.

The main reason for this is that we are all human. And most people tend to do the same. Therefore, there is such a science as psychology. Psychology explains well why most people do the same in similar situations. We are all subject to certain emotions that prevent us from becoming successful. For example, fear, greed, impatience (what you are talking about). Many emotions come from our limbic system. That is, these are basic emotions that arise when a person is in a certain situation. But in addition to the limbic system, modern people have the cerebral cortex, so we can try to control all emotions. And when a person learns self-control, it will bring him to a new level in trading. Just don't need to think like the majority. Always try to think like a whale!

The most important tool you need to succeed in trading is the right knowledge,  right news, greed control and patience.  Once you have these tools at your disposal it will be very easy for you to maximise profit while trading crypto coin

beacause trading is a patience thing... if we don't have the patience and sell the coins when the price goes down that's why lot of us lose with trading, but what i have learned is that criptos always bump, that's a fact, so lets be patience and lets wait to see profit before sell them.

i don't thing so. the key is candle stick when you know where candle stick go , you can be the winner as trader. patience are good for long term trader only, not for short or one day trader.

Everything that you wrote here is correct. However, I do not think that many traders that use this Forum are experienced enough to make a profit when bears rule the market. Thus, they fail.

1) Understanding the entire financial market situation is more important and with that you will have experience and the most important part is selecting the platform you are trading, whether it has a stop loss function, the more features it has, the more convenient for you to have a complete control on what you do.
2) You must have a target and that reduces these panic situations on missing out, always remember to trade according to the market sentiments, only after gaining much experience try short term trading, if not always choose the long road.
3) If you have patience you will not have the fear of missing out.
4) Never listen to FUD news, you know what your targets are, just stick on to that and you will never end up in a loss and never sell anything at a loss and make sure you invest only in solid projects which has a good track record.

For me, the number 1 reason why we don't get success in trading is because of lack of education and knowledge about it. We must learn the basic first before entering trading, sometimes practice is not enough if you don't have enough knowledge and education about it. We must understand the financial market and knows the right time to buy and sell.

In my opinion, we have been lacking patience, that's why many traders have been constantly losing. I don't understand why trading wouldn't be profitable if we go for long term holding.

Perhaps I will say the obvious things, but the main enemies of the trader are fear and greed. For these reasons, it is sometimes difficult to achieve success in trade. So do not be afraid and do not be greedy))

There are myriad  reasons & Mistake that we do
Personal when I started trading crypto I had no idea how the price goes up & down, made huge losses then I decided to learn TA. you know what stupidity I do. I was doing analysis for the speculation for the next week price on the basis 30 min bittrex default chart  ;D  & I realized my mistake after losing 10k $

Here i have Shared Some More tips & Tricks About Trading  : https://www.howearning.com/ (https://www.howearning.com/)

Greed is main problem for me now. I mean when a coin get pumped, i usually wait for a bit higher but then it is not like from what i expected. That is why actually i confused it is my greed or i wrong to put sell order.

There are a lot of reasons behind why you might not have any profits until now. Patience is the main key over here so if you are not patient, then you might probably not have any good profits into trading. There are times when we need to be much patience as the graph might seem much tricky but you have to be strong and HODL in such situations which can make you have at least some profits by avoiding panic selling at lower price.

Secondly, choose a perfect coin which can give you passive income so you would earn good profits there. Throughout your fear and make yourself feel much strong to face any problems and once you pass your bad days, good days will start for you.

lack of patience and lack of courage, if we are patient but not brave in making a decision it will be a loss in my opinion. a trader must be brave when to sell it and when to keep holding it because this is important.

Fear comes due the amount of money we invest and the risk about losing it. So it is always good to invest a certain amount of money which can be affordably lost. This will remove fear from your mind and also you will not worry about the loss but instead will run behind profit only. There are hard times in trading which really makes a individual much sensitive but you should learn to face such times.

Once you earn all such abilities, you will be one of the pro-trader. Time might be near if you start working hard now onwards and try improving your mistakes which made you have loss and try running behind your success rate.

Most traders that I know personally and the reasons why they can't make any money is as follows,

1) Lack of capital. They basically only got like $1-2K to trade with. So they buy a stock, it doesn't move after a few hours/days and they sell the stock at almost break-even price and move on to the next stock. And its the same story. They are impatient due to a lack of capital. Because with $1K even if you go full margin with stocks which is like $3K, you don't get to buy much. Apple stock itself is over $200 which is like 15 shares. Hence they want to see their money making money, and they are impatient and move on to the next stock. They lose money due to spread and commissions.

2) Taking profit too early - Taking losses too late. This is probably the main reason why most traders don't make any money trading and end up with huge losses. They buy some crypto or stock, and immediately it goes up 5% and they sell, They are happy. Then they buy some other crypto and it goes against them, they don't want to get stop-hunted so they don't use stops and end up basically losing 25-50% on that position due to their greed. So with a bad risk reward like 5% to 50% you can see why they fail to make any money.

there are no traders who succeed instantaneously, all traders must have suffered losses, besides a number of reasons explained above, we need to make our own decisions without having to be tempted by issues or speculation, and also I think we need a luck factor too

I think trading is a very tough thing to make money at. You need to be experienced and you need to know things about the market. You need to know the project on the back of the coins you are trying to trade. Pretty hard work so majority of the traders often feel quite bad about it but tbh, it is one tough job. You need to have a consistent mindset to be successful at trading in addition to the aforementioned factors.

By watching video you learn the theory of trading but in order to be good at it you must first make your hand dirty. Put small capital first to learn trading and when you're confidence enough then you may add your capital a little bit more.

To say frankly, we all failures have common mistakes on our own way of trading. Personally, my mistakes are untold story and really it's not easy to say specifically all my mistakes because it counts a vast number in my work. I think the lack of knowledge is one of the key reason leads us to commit mistakes. Most of us are kind of hurried to enter this tough market with just a little knowledge foremost, but while we're on work, we learn a little bit of everything in terms of crypto. Besides, we don't have a good preparation which makes us be not able to control some stuff like bad emotion, fear and so on.

Even learned traders experience loses, trading not only depends into one person or one project, it involves community and groups of people who have different strategies and thinking in those many existing coin that are listed. Keep on trying out of many coins there might be atleast one that will give us success.

Right,when we learn about the crypto trading throritically it will feels like so simple but in the real life it will be one of the hard decision to make whether to sell or hold the funds.No one can be a perfect trader even afte 1000 successful trades only he can minimize loss and find ways to make more profits than other traders.

Well, fear and greed are always factors that affect success in trading and there is no way for us to stop these two factors, we can only get used to it and limit these emotions to the lowest level, completely eliminating is not possible when this is part of us. Except for these factors, market knowledge and luck in trading are also important, and traders need to consider what they have achieved and what they are missing in these factors, improve and they will soon get success in trading, improving other factors is a simple thing, the lucky factor is that something is nearly impossible to improve

A trader must have a high willingness and they must also have good enthusiasm so that a trader can learn new things at any time. most traders fail, they are because they have a sense of despair when they don't get a profit, even though a trader should dare to try and keep trying so that they have the ability and experience to be able to make far better decisions in the future. think about that a successful trader is he who has high fighting power to change his life to be much better.

  This is wrong thinking of the traders they can get profit at very first time because in every business it takes time to be fully polish or to become profitable so if you or any other trader is not satisfy with the movement of the price in market they should have patience and hold until trading gives them profit, so holding my suggestion for you.

They are just quitters. Not everytime you are going to  taste success in the first you do it or in the second time or so. It could take years to happen just like trading. But your decision must be analyzed and calculated because there is another factor that can ruin your winning trades is you when you don't do the  research part.

that is why when a beginner wants to trade they say that they need to have a practice amount when doing trade before going to reality of trading because they might lose their beginning capital due to lack of knowledge in trading.

Exactly, that lack of courage is the thing that becomes a barrier for a trader to be successful. Although it's risky, but when we don't dare to make a decision, a trader won't get anything. This is a thing that a trader must be able to do well. when they have good knowledge and experience, then a trader must have the courage to make decisions !!

Yeah it's human nature, we can't erase that emotion, because it's part of you. all you have to do is get used to it and minimize that trait. if you rely too much on fear and greed of course that is the main factor in your failure at gambling. You have to deal with it first, if you want to succeed in trading

There is no doubt between experience and an inexperienced man. You start understanding the essence of trading once you start trading and not by learning but not getting involved in how to trade. It is not a big deal. You should invest to learn and only then you would  be able to make profits. Without doing so, you might stay deprived of the profits that people make in crypto.

Success does not come to everyone, because crypto trading requires full concentration to understand the movement of coins traded. While part-time traders only invest, trade and want big profits.
Maybe those who are now reaping success when they begin to experience many failures, but they don't give up. More active learning and trade are becoming more frequent, so that ultimately their success is experienced. The success in crypto trading means that the profits obtained are very large.

The market will never be such that they will all earn. Successful traders make money by losing others. To achieve this success you need to spend many years.

one of the most important lesson I found in the crypto market is responding at the time pump and dump when the market is bearish being a crypto investors fearful to invest at low prices when the market is pumping every investor want to invest in the crypto market but taking action at the time of bearish mode will make a investor asset turn to profits

Because there are certain obstacles that you need to go on before you meet the success! In every field, you don't need to be a hunder percent professional or even a talented one. You just need to be patient and wait for your own timing. I believe in calvinism point of view wherein we are already predestined before we are born in earth.

Agreed, I think it's apply in almost every cases. When you study the theory it will be just plain easy because the condition that given to you is a accurate condition to learn the theory but when you dive in into the real world those condition will be super random, so you must have an experience first before can applying those theory into practice.

I am also like you, I lost trading because I was impatient and too scared, impatient to enter the market and too afraid to make decisions

trading must simply have clear goals and principles and skills. if you have implemented this if indeed you have not implemented it, it is only natural if you are not successful in trading because trading is not easy to do.

Trading is not for everyone, you can work with your knowledge enhancement to learn more information
About how to trade in a proper manner, you can follow some patterns coming from those who already have a long time doing this business, you can use their ideas to improve your skills.

It does not refer to traders only. Take, for instance, doctors or actors. There are plenty of them. However, how many really wealthy and successful, talented people we know? Just a few of them. Work more and be passionate in your business, and you will succeed.

Not learning the basics of trading, trading without a concrete strategy and no money management rules are the main cause of many traders both new and experienced are not successful in trading. You must trade according to the market and not what you want the market to do. Example is in a bear market where an experience trader can just use margin to short a pair and make some gains, an unsuccessful trader will still be holding the pair in the hope of it rising back.

Yes in every field only those people get success who work well, gather knowledge and work with their full capacity, so try to gain knowledge before getting in trading, work well and so those who want quick profit become greedy so they show low patience so it make them lose so being a trader try not to lose your patience and hold until price recovers.

The answers can be various depending on how you measure success. Every profession has its own secret and hard learning journey, so I can't compare with a simple analysis. Traders fail due to rigged market and market operators use these facts for their own satisfaction.

You can't be a better trader by just following the tips from others,just crewte your own akills on trading which will make you to stand out but the last point be patient until your time comes.

It's so difficult to have success in a manipulative world, even the so-called expert traders needs to manipulate people for them being successful. Hate to say it but i tend to believe that this pump and dump group exist for that purpose.

Fully depend on you How do you start depends on you, and here you will have to work a lot of time, success will not be available from trading in a hurry. You should spend 2-3 years learning just before learning. It is not right to invest before Then there is a possibility of your loss.

It seems to me that the reason may be that some traders are highly dependent on their emotions. They can move panic, fear, greed, despair. And it prevents all of successful trading. After all, the most important thing is to be able to analyze and try as little as possible to depend on their emotions.

Emotions are just one factor! When you try to explain why somebody is successful in trading and some people are not, you need to consider many factors. Emotions, exchange, pairs you chose, fees, time frame, your bankroll, probably you need to consider your mood in the time of trading too.
You can`t speak about this matter generally, each of us have different factors, so discussion will be different for each of us, why we make or lose money with trading.

I hope you have been gaining some profits lately because the market is good right now and you had been facing problems when the market was bearish but the scenario is very different right now and I am sure you would be making some good money if you are a wise trader with a low cost of investment. This is very important for high gains.

if we take some risk by buying cheap coins in the dip we should take profits now.and the question is did we dare to take this risk.most if investors prefer to keep their money in bearish trend ,meanwhile there are alot of opportunity there.

Sometimes when the market starts to rise, I always feel frightened and tend to sell more. In fact, I am like you and very afraid of losing money when participating in trading but this year I have control of that and learned a lot of good knowledge in 2018 so my profit making becomes easy easier. Fear is good but learn to analyze the trend of this market because it will help you better control your psychology and you can be comfortable investing.

For now I start to trade up and hold for now quietly crypto keep growing up in this past days maybe we can wait for a months to see what will happen in bitcoin and other coins.

Yes, in a hurry because seeing other people who are more successful is wrong, as if we want to quickly get a profit in an instant even though it is not possible for a beginner. Usually a beginner cannot manage their emotions when he loses.

The mistake of beginner traders is often done is too rushed without knowledge and can not control emotions, so if we have this then do not trade before you can control it properly.

If it was so easy more people would be doing it and remember that anytime a trader makes a profit he is basically taking money from someone else.  I still dabble in trading a little bit but I don't let my expectations get too high because I know how rough this is.

As I always tell to the people who pursue trading. It requires a lot of passion and loss in order for you to achieve your goal as a successful trader. Short term or long term, it won't really matter if you don't have persistence and perseverance of doing it.
Just make sure not to overthink and simply analyze and speculate all the turns. A day trade is almost a gambling stuff. It won't almost let you think and analyze what will happen next because of its short period of time offered/provided.

^ learned and analyzed first before you step on the trading field.

The reason why sometimes that the traders is failing in trading because of emotions, being greedy and putting their eggs in one basket. If you a trader you need to be broad minded , more learnings and new strategies and especially to learn to hold your emotions.

If you have been trading for a long time and you do not succeed, then you definitely do something wrong. But if you are still new to this and trade newly, do not worry. You just need to gain experience and soon you will succeed.

I think it is not just the experience that matters in trading crypto but also the exchange you are trading on and the market situation. This is very important to have a bull run going on in the crypto space to ensure some good gains in the crypto trading. If that is not the case, you might find it pretty hard to make money by trading crypto but there is gains in the business so chill and have patience.

besides that capital will also affect. sometimes there are many traders with little capital but want to make big profits. it will be easier to achieve with large capital and we set logical targets, and the results obtained are also healthier

One of the other reasons is the element of luck and experience. In the investment field, no prediction is 100% correct. All are a probability game. Therefore, there are many investors who have over 30 years of experience but still suffer losses of more than 90% when trading in the stock market.
so to be safe and earn a lot in the field of investment, we should know how to manage risk and sell risk is reasonable.

I think those of what you had mentioned is useless, if you are making trade with a wrong timing of buy and sell.
Because there are some movie I watched talking about trading that if you want to make a huge profit you must know
the proper timing in trading. I think that's the reason why other still stagnant with it.

I think it might look like this:
1. To study the technical analysis, candlestick analysis & graphical indicators.
2. Constant practice.
3. Teaching yourself to self-control. This includes cultivating certain qualities in oneself, such as calm, endurance, patience, composure, etc.
4. Train yourself to make a plan before you buy any coin.
5. After making a mistake, analyze the whole situation and write down everything. Only admitting your own mistakes and drawing from this correct conclusion will lead you to success.
6. Never be greedy! Work according to plan!

If you have been unsuccessful so far, then this is the result of your work. You need to change the approach.

The majority of traders don’t adjust their strategies depending on conditions, and they don’t monitor the strategy they use. Consistent speculators don’t just adjust strategies but also follow the performance of the strategies they use, not only in testing before they use them but in real time.

It’d definitely help you out. 

Yes, reason number 4 is indeed a little funny, because if we don't believe how we will make decisions? Do we have to wait for advice from others? or what is meant by confidence here is to ignore the news, so that every decision taken is only in accordance with your own mind. if that's what I mean, I agree, because everywhere we need to consider a set of suggestions and news that exist when trading.

It is because our tactics probably wrong which it caused us to lead to loss our coins in the exchange platform.
If we get profit in trading, it means our way is right which is We need to continue that methods to get more profit.
And continue to learn more about trading in crypto as well.

be patient, be strategic, Crypto are volatile thats why we dont have any assurance in trading 

I always feel that being profitable and being successful trade are not the same thing,there is slight border between them.When someone is not doing good at trading but still getting profits based on luck or something he can't be considered as successful so yourself need to learn how to trade than trusting your luck.

Most investors lose money in trading because they are not patient enough to wait for the coins they invest to achieve the desired target. After a long time participating in this market, I think the money will be transferred from investors who are not patient enough to carry the bags of more patient people. It is really a very important factor.

Perhaps trading in a sense resembles a gamble, where there is a real need for luck.  With the current state of the cryptocurrency market, even professional traders are mistaken, especially those who use daily trading.  Today I see a very strong passion for margin trading among users.  In some cases, it is very positive about the results of this particular type of trade.  But for this you need to have more experience.

The main reason behind unsuccessful trading is Trading w/o any plan. If a plan is made before taking a trade chances of getting higher success rate becomes brighter.

Planning of a trade includes:

1. Check the higher trend, where is it heading to.
2. Check the middle trend.
3. Now come to lower TF to decide your entry point, there should be not resistance/support where you are taking a trade, wait for the right setup.
4. Where is your exit point, if trade goes in your favor where would you like to exit and where is your SL in case trade goes against you, that should be pre decided.

If one follows such simple rules, chances of success get higher.
