Bitcoin Forum

The reason why investors often lose money; as a novice, I summarized the experience in trading:

1. Investment does not equal speculation
2. Not aware of new market changes
3. Do some price comparisons of several currencies that are promising in the past and this year (you can also search the project keywords in the forum to see everyone's thoughts on this project as a reference)
4. Speculators also lose money. Investors are thorough gamblers. When I didn't buy in, I kept holding. If the currency price drops sharply, we will be finished. Maybe speculators buy at the same time (the speculators who have done the market record will be aware of the red flag warning, bad things will happen, the speculators will take action to minimize the loss, and then wait for the next favorable Opportunity to act again

There are some rules to keep in mind:

1. Never sell because the price looks high. For example, if you look at it from 10 to 20, what should you judge at this time is what is preventing them from 20-50?
2. Similarly, don't buy directly because of the high price in the previous period and a lot of drop. The decline is justified.
3. Never equalize the loss in your current account, as there is a high probability that you will lose more.

We are already in a fickle market, and more often there are no rules to follow, but setting up some own trading rules will reduce my losses.

Hope to communicate with everyone

Basic rules will only apply for us if we follow our emotions, though we have the courage to battle all the anxieties that we felt everytime btc and other altcoins go down. That's always important to consider your safe zone first before final decision will prevail. Often times we lose money because of greed, when you find all things work out for good then don't hesitate to dump while there's no possible spikes will exist after your coins reached the peak of its value.

These rules apply to me. I often lose myself in trading because of more laziness. One of the reasons I like forums is that your trading experience often reminds me.

good luck

I think you should add to your list that a drop in price is not directly equalling losing money. We still own the coin and as long as we are not selling we don't realise our loss. On paper we might be losing money but it is not yet confirmed. In the future we could always see another rally in the coin and make back our losses. As trader we might be inclined to trade coins quickly, but as an investor we could always switch to a more long term approach. Just like with Doge Coin for example, there wasn't much price changes for years and then all of a sudden the coin started to rally.

When I got to real trading that is where I battle with  emotions and fear this is a big challenge especially for newbies following those trading rules becomes a big problem infact after a losing streaks a trader will jettisoned the trading rules and trade in a bid to recoup all the loses thus ended up with more loses I believe to ease such emotions and fears is by trading with the amount of fund you can afford to lose at least to reduce the risk involved in trading this is the area where a lot of traders or investors fails this main reasons why a lot traders fund got liquidated.

Sometimes when the market hit you, you want to leave the rules as you said but I want to advise newbies not to leave the rules when they are down. The rules are the ways you can get back on track.
Most times the market does that and you make losses, use stop loss to minimize your losses and you have more opportunity to trade again. Emotions is not proper to be involved in real trading but good strategy and the rules.

Buying in batches is the best option to solve these situations.

We cannot overcome panic and greed. But we should develop strategies and implement them before trading. This allows us to not panic when placing orders.

If you really can't adapt to this state, market trading is not for you. They are cruel, and most people will lose money for a reason.

I like this and that is the attitude from a good trader. Understanding your strategy that is working is better because you don't jump in at every candle spike but to wait for the right entering time. And going in with stoploss activated, you can relax having in mind the worse to be the Lost of just a little percentage of your balance.

The investor becomes a speculator because they do not research what coin they should buy instead just follow the other people. That is the most common mistake by the investor and maybe that is happening to us in some cases. Those investors do not have a target price or time frame when they should sell their coin instead still holding for the unknown time frame and become panic if the price drops significantly.

The research will help you to determine which coin you can buy as your investment. But you should know when you should sell your investment and not wait for the other high price because that will not always happen. Sometimes the price will adjust to the lower price before the price jumps to the next high price.

well, probably because investing is not such an easy thing, and very often it turns out that ideas just burn out

Indeed. When price drops, it doesn't mean you will lose money, maybe you will never earn additional of your prepared money but at least you can still earn even small percentage of it. When price drops, hold it and wait until price increase, because as long as we are still holding those coins, we don't lose anything. During downfall, we need to wait even it took for years as long as we know we can get a good profit in the future. Greed is the one reason why investors lose their money. I know everyone wants to earn huge amount of profit but it needs patience and knowledge before you earn it.

Investors lose money because they enters and exit the market at wrong time, poor financial management and also lack of proper knowledge related to assets they are all investing.

The OP is pretty well written and is full of important points.
But to be honest these happen in very advance level.
Investors lack in the beginner level only.
They lack basic knowledge for which they often lose money.
Mostly investors can’t figure out when to invest and where to invest for which these types of losses occur.

Entering and exiting the market can easily be solved because you just need to be good and smart at trading. Poor financial management can be learned too. I think there's a reason that everyone can't avoid and that is the fact that trading isn't for everyone.

It is a need for us to think not only the positive things but also the negative ones as I see that most of us are neglected to do that nor it comes into our mind due to some excitements. I could say that not all investors are knowledgeable, they might just encourage to invest in crypto as maybe one of his/her friends tell them but they are not able to tell the truth about crypto. In this case, it was not a big surprise why we lose, to come into the market without any knowledge is just like suicide.

partiall buying could make our average price drop alot when in bottom we got it  with huge amount. Over confidence and greedy in every trade really make our plan  totally undity . Plan need to arrange weill before we entry in marke with any amount.

to be good or smart trader was not easy  because it depend on their possion and will in cryptocurrency  market. trading  only suitable for each person that have strong faith in this market,

In my opinion, the best way to get around the problem of "greed" is already that we buy in "batches" and preferably at fixed times, for example every Monday at 0 o'clock. In this way, we certainly never (or at least almost never) buy at the bottom, but the probability that we make bad purchases (buy at the top due to FOMO, ...) without a corresponding strategy is very high - and to be honest ... most of us know such "FOMO-situations". At least I do, I still have XRP in my portfolio which I bought at way above 2$ ...

You are right bro at a certain percentage but sometimes newbies don't follow these rules and don't know the conditions in trading that how can hey have to face it because they don't have enough experience and patience is very important as wellin trading.

That's known also as a dollar cost averaging. Which is one of the best strategies out there that can be tried by anyone. So if you're unsure whether you've bought at the dip, that will be the solution for you to keep yourself with the market as you buy and do DCA. Overcoming panic and greed is possible and that can happen when you're no longer that the same person that tackles it and you know how to flee from it already because of your experience as a trader. But newbies can't at the beginning.

Another reason why investors often lose money (novice investors) is of course due to lack of research and not having the ability to read the market direction. As an investor do some research first before buying some coins. Technical analysis and fundamentals are also mandatory. Don't be an investor who is blind to technical analysis and doesn't observe the project you want to follow. Another problem is psychology. Don't be swayed by some of the FOMO going on. You must have a strategy, and do good management.

They lose money out of their mentality, their disability to hold and also unknowingness of when to leave the markets. Fomo is one very important reason for which even 'thorough' investors who are focused on holding while also keeping an eye on the markets, lose. Crypto markets are very dangerous compared to stocks and forex, and very proper research must be practiced before investing anything on these so wow coins.

Precisely. 1 Bitcoin will always be 1 Bitcoin. If you sell some of it, that's when you lose Bitcoin.
I like how the OP idea putting rules for himself. It may not be applicable to everyone but we have our own kind of view with investing or trading.
In a sense, it's the correct method for him while some will not agree.
Just like this case.
Short-term traders will try to short this and never expect more. Investors will.
The mindset to take the profits as soon as possible should be intact when you trade.

Investors usually lose money too, it is something very normal, in fact investors or whales in trading usually make movements in the market that include a lot of money, and sometimes they are not so accurate, and they lose some money, the only difference is that they tend to recover the money much faster, because it is the large amounts of money that make it possible to recover when a major movement occurs in the market.

In 2018 there were many investors who bet on BTC "Short", because they wanted to buy cheap BTC and the best option to get them was by going "short" taking advantage of the fact that many panicked and sold their BTC very cheaply, for this reason that the Market is usually like a jungle, for being so wild in the movements. For this reason, when those investors entered "Short" at that time there were many investors who were in LONG, there were many who lost, but at the same time they recovered, the losses are normal for investors, traders and small operators.

I would say that they do not know when to leave the markets. That makes them still lose if they sell at a low price. But if they can still hold whenever the price is down and do not think to sell, they will have a chance to sell in the future. That will make them get another big profit in the future because bitcoin can increase so high anytime.  We know that the crypto market price is moving fast without stopping so we must know how to prevent the panic that will come to us if the price jumps to the lower price.

Not sure about #2, OP. What do you mean by not aware of market changes? Surely every investors are still looking into the price charts at least once a week making sure that their investments are going through. Not to mention that I had a bad habit of refreshing the price of Bitcoin before every 5 minutes and it is kind of a bad habit for me back then because it renders me unproductive.

If someone asks you what should I buy?
You can answer to buy bitcoin
If you ask you when are they best to trade?
You can answer anytime
If he wants to buy at the lowest price, is now the time to buy?
I should answer: I don't know

Because no one can determine his direction

Here we need to find the latest strategies for trading and imitate them. In this process, we all need to constantly learn to trade to see market changes. One day you find that you don’t need to imitate other trading methods, so congratulations, you got it Very valuable gain.

Some have the courage to invest but are too unfortunate that they just suffer such difficulties in order for them to learn. They are obviously not fully knowledgeable with the market and they often rely on what they feel and might follow some influencer. Their market survival is too tin and that is many of them had gone after losing their capital and hopes. Yet, some just to stay as are still wanting to recover and wanting to know more about crypto, and these people are true investors. Quitters never win, that's probably the mindset we have to keep.

Often? You are wrong.

Investors definitely will not lose and even they lose it may not occur in more frequency given that if they invest bitcoin kind of highly recognized assets. If you invest into a random thing and crying about losses then I will categorize you philanthropist and not an investor.

This happens only with random things and not with reputed assets. Invest only into bitcoin and you never lose anything in long run or at least in next 4 years. It means all bitcoin investors may start enjoying good returns for their investments from minimum 4th year onward.

new investor nowadays always rushing to invest their money especially when they saw a promising project even though they're lack of information, and that's how they start losing money..
I dont know why they don't have time to make research first and  efforts to read such information what you shared @op. as the matter of fact it's a big advantage. Maybe they're enjoying what mistakes they're doing reasons there's no changes until now. Lmao

Yes, investment will be risky.Although you choose Bitcoin, smart investors are good at observing market changes and depend on simple trading plans.

I am willing to believe that holding Bitcoin for 4 years will increase my assets, but this is not entirely correct. "Will the price exceed $40,000 tomorrow? Only tomorrow will I know."

As an investor, you should always maintain a vigilant attitude, right?

The main reason to loose money  because new invester don't read first market analysis(TA) so that's why he don't judge market movement Market going down or up  or follow anyone signal so this is one of the main reasons to lose money

laziness often makes us lose money and it is a big enemy in each of us...

in any field it is often laziness that makes it difficult for a person to move forward, and laziness is almost the same as greed, it destroys one's body and mind. stay away from laziness and also greed then your trading will be successful.

laziness to learn from mistakes will make the trader repeat the same mistakes again, and eventually will make him lose again so that the same disappointment arises. Therefore, we should not even learn from analyzing to learning to control our own emotions. if we are still controlled by emotions, of course we will harm ourselves later, because most traders lose because of emotions in dealing with the market, for example greedy

Yes i agree with your points..some points I would like to add is the greediness in the mind of the investor. Other thing is that he does not know exactly when to sell. The investor must be clear in his mind that after how much profit he should sell the amount

You must need to be greedy if you have invested with only bitcoins. People who invested in bitcoins some 5 to 10 years back and being greedy are making massive amount of profits right now. So, being greedy cannot be a problem especially if you are an investor and you have invested into bitcoins. Investors will lose only when they choose shitcoins and/or not bothering about technical things while investing.

Long term projects can feed your greediness. So, being greedy with right project is highly recommended. So, I am not ready to accept that greediness is a reason for investors to lose their capital.

Your number one rule in what to keep in mind, I don’t know if I really agree with that. Well, I’d say it all depends on what you’re looking for. I think investors should have a target, and when the market is way high above that target maybe it’s good to hit the sell button, but not sell all your assets at once. You can still hold some of the assets in case the market should continue with the uptrend.

There is no need to be in a hurry, and you have to also analyze and be sure that you’re doing the right thing. And follow your results and not your emotions. Then it’s very important to be aware of market changes. If you’re an investor you should be aware of what’s happening in the market you’re investing your money in. Some developers can decide to make changes at anytime, and if you’re not aware of it, you will be left behind.

I totally agree with you most especially on this last part, there are absolutely no outlined rules that have proven to work effectively in the crypto trading environment, every one has different strategies and standards of trading, so also, it is advisable for each to make his or her own rules in a way that it will suit or match he's or her trading strategy.
Rules are very important most especially in the financial sector, not keeping them can sometimes result to devastating loss of money, so  traders should pay attention and learn the strategies that works, make and keep rules that will help them maximize profit.

It made me think about my brother who was ranting over his xrp and trend to dump because the value went at losing state. At first he was only motivated due to higher value price of his assets consisting other coins. But recently he was demotivated because of falling market which altcoin also suffered while btc was struggling to be back at $40k level.
That situation litteraly an example why a person lose in trading, emotions is our very concern here.
Never sell just because you're afraid to lose it all, but rather sell when price again comes for another ATH.

But without losing money, investors won't learn much.

For me, I'd rather see them being in that worst situation so that next time, they are now more serious to prevent it. There are no perfect investors and all successful investors today really struggles on their way up.

Soon, they can create their own way how to deal with these market struggles and challenges. I won't advise them what to do because even we are in the same ocean, we are on a different boat. It means, our approaches are different.

The investor is different from the trader.
So, basically, when investing in some certa9in cryptocurrencies, they have known and thought that they will not use the money in the short term period. They will have certain target of the period of holding the coins until they are predicting the next bullish era.
But sometimes,s they forget about how to choose the right coin to invest in for the long term. Bitcoin is the best and it is no matter. But if it is about the new hype coins, it will end soon and lose much money soon.
The bad ways are about going to invest but they don't know anything, don't have any target, and also only follow other people.

Losing is indeed part of the game and losing will make you more wise and stronger the next time you play in the market. Investors should take this as an opportunity to learn things, though its a costly mistake I’m sure you can still get it once you master trading or investing. There’s always an opportunity to make profit in cryptomarket, don’t lose hope and don’t give up easily if you lose money, again that is part of investing.

As a rule, more often than not, people simply do not have enough patience. The crypto market does not adjust to expectations, it goes against them, therefore, when people expect growth from their coins, they often cannot accept the fact that the coin is falling and is not going to stop. Lack of understanding of the mechanisms of market management is the main reason why people lose.

That's the point. Losing makes investors learn, they will realize their mistakes. Since all investors must have the intention to take profits, they will force themselves to know well the effective ways to invest then. No investor will accept losing forever, so they must learn hard and more seriously. Well, losing doesn't always be a bad thing. If an investor can understand it and know what to do after losing, it even can be a big motivation for him to improve their investment skills.

When we lose our money, realization came to our mind afterwards and you'll eventually learn all the mistake you had. As an investor, trading is our usual career and it's a matter of hardwork once you overcome all struggles you're facing in times of trading pressures.
Taking profit is our main objective during the midsts of green days, but it's not an easy task because greed is really prone on every traders.
They failed of too much market expectations, that's why missing out some good opportunity will be ignored and won't able to take profit quickly.

Panic will play a role in your decision making only when you are not confident about the coin, you have invested.
If you choose coins after a strong due diligence then you can easily continue your holding regardless of whatever corrections you are encountering. So, TA and FA are more important not only for active traders but also for investors.

To learn much, you do not need to be an investor neither.

That learning process should be done before finalizing the investments. Basically being investors in crypto space also requires lots of preparations like crypto trading and if you are too busy and unable to find time for learning then you may stick with bitcoin investments alone.

I guess that by "investors" you mean traders.Investing is not gambling,despite all the risks involved.
Trading can be compared to gambling,if you don't know what you are going.
There's nothing wrong with losing money when trading,if you make more money at the end of the day.
Some traders are afraid of losing money when trading,because this would mean that they lack skills or they simply suck.This creates an emotional blockade and "fear of failure". Even the best traders are losing money here and there,so we have to get rid of the "fear of failure".

this is very useful for me personally..Thanks for reminding us through this topic. Maybe sometimes I still make the mistakes that have been mentioned, which is often selling prices that seem to still be higher.

You are right. There are many things needed for a crypto investor, especially if he wants to be a professional investor with multi assets. He must accept having a learning process and it is probably timeless. There are many things needed to learn, not only about skills or knowledge. A professional investor must learn about the current trend in crypto, a possible situation on the next season, factors that lead to increase/decrease in crypto coins, and many other things. This must require a lot of time and a serious intention.

Why not stick on the top 10 cryptocurrencies including altcoins. Investors can still make a profit on it via holding and sell when your profit was there.
Perhaps the common problem in investors did not have proper research before putting their money, because they are in the hype with other people most especially when you know there is a group of pump and dump. But if you are going to ask me, I will stick to bitcoin investment itself than altcoins, the most reason is here.

Besides those four reasons, I think that there are also some other reasons why often losing money when investing in cryptocurrency:
5. Don't know enough what is invested in at that time because only following any hype
6. Doesn have any target of price or range of period to take profits
7. Some greediness
8. Investing but too panic when the prices fall down

loss was a one of stages that we must passed in our trading journey , when we could overcome it and never give up as you said we will be good trader later. from mistake we made , improvement in trading skill bring new spirit for us to generate profits in next trades.

they didn't prepare well before involved in crypto market or other finance market. most of them blind when entering this market and maybe no one guide them

I believe that you do not need to start working with a real account right away, it is best to try your efforts on a demo account, and thus you can understand where mistakes are made, this advice was recommended to me by Amarkets managers.

Yes, there are too many examples. We all understand the truth, and usually disrupt our plans during operation.

Investment will be risky, and keeping it within a price we can afford to lose is a good condition for our health.

Yes, I very much approve of your supplement. I have a few friends with wealth and freedom around me. Their successful experience is not something I can bear. We are all learning from experience and using what I can do to help more new people. .

1.greedy  Anyone who is greedy wants to make huge profits quickly and trades frequently. When the market fluctuates too much, investment and exit strategies will become more difficult.
2.Inexperienced   Although many people have some understanding of the knowledge and information of cryptocurrencies, they rarely trade and cannot start their strategies correctly, and they are not sure about their own data.
So I think emotions, fundamental knowledge, and technical analysis are all important in trading. It is best to learn the basics of correct trading first, try to learn to read charts from experienced traders and practice on demo accounts.

Lack of knowledge and experience, overconfident in trading and investing a lot of money, just greedily focus on profit.
Easily affected by market sentiment, the market may fluctuate at any time, making you panic.
Before investing, make sure that we understand the market and choose the currency to invest in,learn from experience instead of making as much profit as possible. When investing, you must have good knowledge and patience, set correct goals and manage risks, and stop losses in time.

According to my opinion Individuals lose money within the trading since they think and expect investing is their ticket to getting rich quick. ... This can be what happens when investors try to defeat the market with steady buying and offering to form quick benefits.

You've talked a lot and everything you've said is right.
I know that they are already aware of what might happen to them upon trading but too unfortunate that they still get into a mess and are unable to think wisely. If we don't want our life in trading to end like this then we should have to correct all our mistakes as soon as possible.

Maybe there is something we need to change in our mindset and stop focusing on earning a profit but instead focus first on learning how to trade. Coz once it was done and we are capable enough to trade, profit will keep on coming. 

I agree with you. I joined cryptocurrency in order to gain my interest in trading. Losses and profits are not balanced, most losses will be more, but I only use a small amount of funds to operate, exercise my trading feeling. This is not good at all.

Yeah, we are seeing that the dangers of investing is being taught at every part of this forum, still many new people are getting into investments even they are aware of what had happened into most other investors even after they had enough/suggested knowledge preparation. Most new people are driven by fake belief like they could filter out scammy things more easily unlike anyone else.

I could not understand your statements properly still I believe you are trying to say that you are operating only very small amount of funds for your investment purposes still you are going for wrong trading which is not good for your capital.

Probably you must take some break from your investment/trading so that you could come up with new ideas which might be bringing you decent profits in future.

Not knowing what they are investing in because just following the bye would be a fatal mistake. they don't know their money is at stake in it.

Some greed also arises because some beginners do not have experience. also have not prepared strategies and price targets that must be achieved.

As a result they will panic when the price starts to fall. This panic will give them a loss because they start selling it at a low price without making a profit.

I do believe that we are not really thinking about what the mental outcomes of losing money could be as well. He could be losing a small amount but even while losing a small amount people should not be really focusing on what they did, or what they lost, but how they feel. Just because you lost 10 bucks doesn't mean that the feeling of it does equal to 10 dollars.

I had times when I rather lose 10 bucks by dropping it on the street without realizing instead of losing on trading, it was that much of a pain. I don't know what I could do about this, I know that it doesn't sound like it could be as good as it gets because I should be emotionless while trading and I do that as much as I can nowadays, but I also understand the newbies who feel that way, because once upon a time I was one of those newbies that did lost a lot and felt even more sad then just the amount itself.

There are so many reasons as emotions, greedy people and investing on blind without deep analising of project, white paper and plans of developing.

Retail traders tend not to have a strategy and trade emotionally. This means one frequently makes a decision at exactly the wrong time. The best way to make money is to plan trades carefully based on your own research. Keep records of your trades and what you learn from each trade. Never commit more than 10% of available capital to any one position and keep your discipline. If you set a stop in your trading plan and the market moves through it, get out of your position.

Those reason can be address properly to avoid losing money. You should come here well prepared because the market is too risky for irresponsible investor, and if you don’t want to lose your money you will do your best to learn things, to analyze things, to get updated as always because those are the things that you need to have before you invest. Yes, its normal and ok to lose but don’t make this as your main goal because your goal is to make money and not to lose it.

Even you are prepared but doesnt mean that it will guarantee you to avoid risk because chances of losing money or investment on this market is likely to happen.This is why experience is a must
and would make out research and learn from it. Losing cant really be avoided but you can lessen it out as you do go ahead into your trading or investment career. You would lose money in
first tries but as long you do go further and gaining experience then you would eventually learn up things which would make those risk even lesser as you go ahead.
Just dont rush into it and it do takes time on learning everything or familiarizing.

Wow you nailed it man, i so much love this point of yours. The fact is most investors takes decisions like traders which isn't supposed to be so, an investor who saw a coin and had a purpose of buying that coin, then after investing later prices went down, as a long-term investor this doesn't mean you have lose your capital and should  sell of that coin, that's the mindset of traders, an investor is supposed to hodl for the good days to come.

Actually everyone must experience losing money when trading crypto, but the losses we experience can be minimized with knowledge and
experience. Sometimes with highly volatile markets, losses are unavoidable, but most importantly how can we minimize losses and recover.
That's why we don't stop to learn everything about crypto trading, so that our knowledge is always updated, and find the best solution how to
deal with volatile market. Sometimes it takes patience where we achieve success, don't be in a hurry to become a successful trader, just enjoy
the process. If we do it consistently, we definitely get the results we want.

Too much aggressiveness of an investor made them lose more money, they're always going through deceptive promotions which lead them to invest without scouting a certain project related to cryptocurrency. These days had gone so very prone to scammers and fraudulent activities which those innocent people being attracted to.
Same with trading ventures, you don't know what assets to choose that's why on person who doesn't have a good idea towards a good coin they failed to gain good profit.

There are some scam project that's why the often lose money when it comes investment. Wherein we cannot blame them because of their greediness as we are all have that kind of attitude..  :D yes there are some way how to fix it and it's by making research in order to protect our money from scamming.. But the fact that mostly projects nowadays are almost the same with trusted projects, it seems too difficult to escape especially for beginners and perhaps even those who been years now on this space and have enough knowledge still can experience such issue.. So it's not normal if we didn't learn from all of our mistakes..

This is definitely the sum up of the reasons why investors often lose money, there's a lot of reason but some of the investors come up losing associated with many reasons written above that is why they literally lose their money in just one click. But above written reason I would be sure that many of the investors losses were very much associated with lack of knowledge in which every one of us have been through being a newbie and let's admit that we are also once being lack with knowledge.

If a trader does not have enough knowledge and experience to trade in a bear market, you need to take a break and wait for an upward movement. From my experience, I know that even in the absence of knowledge, it is easier to trade in the bull market, a hold is enough for this.

Why would they failed to gain such profit when Bitcoin is just around the corner and why choose altcoins that doesn't have a reputation yet in the past? I think these so-called investors didn't know what is Bitcoin and how to trade properly or make profit. The ICO era is long gone and the hype for altcoins this time is the NFT games which is somehow had a great outcome.

If these investors are going to hop in on the hype of NFT they better have some knowledge or experience about how the crypto market works. It's fluctuating frequently and there's no need to be upset so easily if you saw the price suddenly goes sideways which is different from you are expecting. Avoid thinking about how you would want to push your luck in order to gain more profit in one go, you might find yourself regretting because you didn't take the profit when you have the opportunity.

If you are technically approaching the market then you can easily make profits on either directions of market movement. When investors are not making use of fundamental analysis and basics of technical analysis then probably they will often book losses.

Definitely no; for those technical traders, the market direction is not a big deal. Because, all trading strategies are applicable for both bear and bull markets hence it will be a wrong assumption that only very few people are having knowledge to deal with bear market.

1.There is no timely stop loss. Strict control of the stop loss is very important, and controlling the risk is equivalent to controlling the return. Set the scope within the scope of how much risk you can bear, so that you will not exceed your own capacity.
2.Excessive investment due to greed for profit. The outbreak of Bitcoin will attract many people, and many people spend almost all their life savings on investing in Bitcoin. Do what you can, don't expect to get rich overnight.
3.Market sentiment affects manipulation. Many investors are susceptible to market volatility and panic, which can easily lead to the wrong operation of chasing ups and downs.

The bottom line here is that there is no rule as to safe guide your investment as investor in cryptocurrency, each trader must formulate his/her own rules into a plan that can followed both during bear and bull market period! Trading effort is not cut and dry, you must be able to swim with the tide and most of the time with Whale and Shack! And never to forget your trading experience, alwaus apply it to your trading effort!

It comes to my mind that these investors are totally not prepared. They just assume that everything will find once they are on the market and they just underestimate the volatility of the market which is one reason for their losses due to uncontrollable emotions. If they just know and are aware of the situation, I don't think if they will come and invest here, not for sure. But what makes them get encouraged are those people who are telling lies that there is easy money in crypto.

Agree, no one for all cure formula to trading because if there's one then we would all be prosperous when it comes to trading. My rule of thumb in trading is what Warren Buffett said, be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy.

Be greedy should be always too risky, better to avoid. Even Buffett said to be confident doing it once people feel afraid, just be careful since it cannot be applied to every situation. In my opinion, we must always analyze the situation carefully. Do it when it looks like to be worthed and realistic, and kindly refuse to do it once it is likely too risky. Simply, be smart in analyzing!  :)

I admit of being greedy sometimes. Few weeks ago I lose $200 in Binance futures by making wrong decisions and putting high leverage in my position. For newbies like me, if you want to jump in futures. 2x to 3x would be the safe option.

I fully agree with you. Newbie cant just come and start investing and trading with expectation to earn and make profit. Learn first, dyior and then think about to start. But even with all knowledge and experience profit is not easy to put in pocket just like that.

Just think twice, trice or even more just to sure that we are in good and our decision is right (at least). Sometimes we got to rush in making a decision which often results bad and even it gives us losses in the end.
We are to think smart of course but can't deny that sometimes we got to fail. And this seems so hard for emotional investors and the only way to help this is to change our mindset and deepen our market understanding. Of course, this never works instantly, yeah it needs some time and full commitment.

Those who lose money the most are those who are new to the world of Crypto investment, Crypto Investment is not the same as other investments. Cryptocurrency prices that have very high fluctuations often make new investors panic and make wrong decisions, even though if they are willing to be patient they can get big profits. 
The second is the wrong choice of the coin to invest, and new investors are also very easily influenced by the hype of the coin which sometimes actually does not have a good future. 
Learning more about Cryptocurrency is very important, before we spend large amounts of our money on investment.

Due to lack of knowledge and experience, many make mistakes that lead to losses.

The hasty attitude is indeed one of the causes of investors experiencing losses, because if they feel the price is good, it turns out that the price has fallen again, many of them have panicked sell so they make a cut loss. Actually for investors this is very unfortunate because at first they had intended to invest

Yeah, in other words don't buy because of FOMO, don't sell because of FUDs and stay away from shit coins because investing in those coins will highly likely make you lose everything. Heck, just don't even sell when you are at a loss when you invest in well known coins. As long as you don't sell, you don't make any loss since the number of coins you are holding is still the same ;).

Don't buy, don't sell. Then what should we be doing? When the price goes from "10 to 20", then if you think you have made enough profit, then sell. Stop thinking that it might go to "20 to 50". I thought you just said we shouldn't invest based on speculation.

We should set take profit time or level on where we do consider on pulling off our profits and securing it as this had been always our main goal on why we do invest on this market.

Losing money is inevitable but due to experience and knowledge then we can really at least lessen the risk on losing that much. We would really be making ourselves a lot more better

as we do get experience by engaging into this market.We do have different takings and decision because we do have different mindset and goal.

There are different reasons and factors affecting why investors mostly lose their money in an investment or trading. Mostly those reasons and factors are somewhat environmental, economical and even social that contributes on how their mind behave on dealing with their investment and trading. It is in need for an investor and trader to be disciplined and knowledgeable to be able to identify what are his essential needs so that he won't be much affected by external factors that can affect his decision making for the sake of saving up his money.

Haste makes waste as quite correctly said.

But the haste comes from the realization that they are late to the game. I would advice such people to not get FOMOed, though better said than done. There is always a chance to buy when the prices come down because it is a constant cycle and no price is ever absolute in a speculative market.

Often a few months of stalking charts and patience pays off but many newbies who have never had a first hand experience in stocks, forex make this mistake.

In this context, newbies also make the mistake of settling for shitcoins just because they dont have enough to buy "1BTC" (which seems to be a norm) and go for tons of shitcoins. Essentially they wasted their money right then and there. But I dont think that this can be changed without the person being informed prior to investing. In fact these newbies are the ones on whom the shitcoin bagholders drop their shit and exit.

Biggest mistake i seen investor do.
Nobody ever wants to buy when the price is low because they don’t know the bottom

Then the price goes up and they want to buy high because they don’t know the top.

Indeed. I also observe that to some of investors. They never buy when price is low but they buy when price is high or started to increase. I understand that they have their own techniques and strategies but they might lose huge amount of money if they continue on doing that things. Some of them also lose money due to lack of knowledge and experiences, many make mistakes that leads to losses.

When novice investors first begin investing in the stock market, they are frequently disappointed when the value of their initial investment diminishes. Because the investor does not comprehend why or what happened, he or she frequently makes reckless actions that result in the loss of even more money. The new investor doesn't have enough knowledge about the coin. The other thing is that they don't have patience and so in this way the lose money.

I do not get why people are worried about not having 1 bitcoin, that is something I heard too and never really made any sense to it, do you know what is exactly behind that? I mean why wouldn't they just buy 0.01 bitcoin if that is all they have? Why go for 100 doge instead? I do not know if that is the ratio but you got the point of what I am asking.

Some people just like shitcoins because they give bigger returns as well, it is not a simple thing but it is definitely something they like to do, bitcoin can't profit you 10x easily, but the coin at 848th place could go 10x very easily, because volume is low and liquidity is low so if someone puts up 10k dollars then suddenly you have 10x profit. That is a lot more sweeter reason to not buy bitcoin but buy something else. I understand that it is not easy to pick one, and many do fail to do so, but I feel like it is definitely the main reason.

I agree with you, greed is one of the main reason why most investors lose their money in trading, it's not always about holding sometimes you might hold way too long and the value might dump 90% then there's no way to return back up, it's important to know the when you should be holding and the most important thing know when to sell off and let go, you can't buy a lambo with just one project :D being a greedy holder will only get you losses.

Honestly what I see above is all what afters we retail traders(investor's) not the whales aka institutional investors.
Institutional investors are not moved by speculations or market anticipation, these whales they write the rules because it's easy to manipulate these markets if you have the most coins ,which is based on volume.

And in crypto being a retail investor without the knowledge about how these works can make you trade emotional against the markets.

someone is said to be an investor means he is prepared to hold in the long term. but if he loses, I think it's because of panic selling. therefore we must prepare the worst scenario in investing, so that something like this will not happen, because previously we were ready to take the risk and not only think in terms of profit.

I've found that nowadays, people frequently invest without having sufficient expertise. When their overconfidence prevents them from assessing the situation objectively, even experienced investors overestimate their talents. As a result, people prefer to see an investment instrument's potential from only one perspective: risks or benefits.

Not all investors are money launderers, only those who want to get a lot out of cryptocurrency at a loss. Investors who do not understand anything, do not have an advance idea about the marketThey face losses and experienced investors do not.

what often happens is that investors lose control of their emotions. investing in cryptocurrency also relies on the patience of its investors, this is actually an important key. those who get too emotional often lose a lot of money when trading, this is a problem that must be addressed immediately. In addition to needing extra patience, investors must also really understand the basics of cryptocurrency itself. don't let them misunderstand.

Even if you are an intra-day trader, to be profitable you need to be in it for the long-term. You never bet everything on each trade. And you make a plan before starting a position. A good rule of thumb might be to risk 1/10 of available capital on a given trade. You also set a stop, so that you have decided on a place to get out if what you expect to happen does not play out. There is a balance between being rigid and flexible, so your stop might move as things move forward, but you always need to be intentional about your trading. Never close your eyes to the market going against you and hope that things will come right in the end.
I also suggest keeping a log of each trade, jotting down what you observed and learned from each trade - whether it was profitable or not.
Trading/investing is one of those things you can learn from your whole life. It's multi-dimensional and so exciting because of this.

There are some human weaknesses as greediness, hurried decision, impatience and to become rich in a night. Having these, we buy a big trade for earning a huge profit, to average a trade avoiding loss, occurring some wave and market ups and downs. All these facts result in the liquidation of an account and loss of money. These weaknesses can be control in a limit but not completely.

Even 1/10 is a lot if you are an intraday trader but I get your point and I agree with it. There will be maybe 10-20 trades you do inside of a day if you are that kind of a trader and not all of them will be profits, plus each day may not be same, one day you will lose $30 the other day you make $50 and you can keep doing this for a long time, what is important is your average, what do you make in a week on average?

If you do this for a whole year, and check how much you made total in profit, you will be capable of knowing how much you can make in a year, the amount is not even important because you should look at % how much you made. However sometimes even years do not count, look at this year, many people made a profit, but look at 2018, many lost. So it is the long term, even if you make 10-20 trades a day, still the long term is more important.

1. Placing orders or selling orders when market is manipulated.
2. Not being aware of what is happening around the coin like the news, updates etc.
3. Not being patient enough to hold back the coin for a better profit.
4. Investing in just one coin rather then investing on multiple coins. 
5. Not using stop loss option. This leads many new users loose money.

These are few points to share

All of that is related to our knowledge and also emotions where the ups and downs of the crypto market make our emotional turmoil. For people who don't really understand the crypto world, the ups and downs of the crypto market will make a mental drop and this can make someone's emotions become chaotic. Moreover, if they have sold their assets in a panic, it is a big mistake and makes a big loss too. Investing in crypto is not an easy thing because it requires practice and requires sufficient experience in it. So dont give up easily.

Those things was associated with day traders, but for long term holders that won't work. Same with what I've been doing for years, patience and awareness also applies but I fell on wrong asset that's why I still lose more money.
Much better if we stay on trusted coins like btc and eth, your future is going to be brighter when bullrun commence someday.

There are also those investors that know little yet still invests wisely with the market. They may face some adjustments at the beginning but it's part of the learning process as they get to know more about the investment that they're getting in.
But to those investors that don't have any idea and don't have plans to grow with their experience in the market and just throws money as if it's going to grow like a tree, they're the most frustrated investors.

Most investors lose money usually because their emotions are difficult to control even though emotional control is important in trading. Unstable market conditions certainly play with the emotions of traders, so here they are trapped. Another factor that also happens is that some investors use the money for their economic needs to be used as investment capital, this should be avoided because when the need suddenly comes when you are holding and the market is still going down, like it or not you have to sell coins at low prices even loss.

Most investor which loos money are newbie and he don't have any knowledge about trading and do trade without any analysis or follow someone signal so this is the main reason to loose for success trader first learn then we don't face loos in trading

I guess that newbies lose money more often, but it's not like that with experience and all analysis you can think off you will have a guaranteed profit. We all make mistakes here and there,  bad timing is usual mistake we all make, but I guess that wrong choice of pairs is something that happens often. Anyway making a mistake in trading shouldn't be the end of the world for anyone, just do a little thinking about what went wrong and try to not repeat the same mistake again, it's the learning process.

And with that losing experience, it helps them either to be wiser and smarter in making a decision. Because no one had ever been perfect, losing means that there is something wrong that you have done and from that, you could also gain some idea and never let it happen again.
We can't learn everything if we don't try and that is why we often experience losses as that is a part of the learning process. Nobody wants this but certainly, we can't avoid such a scenario especially for beginners.

True. Investing and trading requires adequate training of Fundamental and Technical analysis before you jump in this bbusiness. People often lose money becuase their timing of taking entry is not right means they buy asset when it is already overbought. I have often heard people complaining that when i buy an asset its price starts coming down and when i sell, its starts going up. This happens because of wrong timing of Entry and exit. Technical indicators help you to take entry and exit at right time, that is why it is important to understand technical charts and Indicatots to be a successful Investor and Trader.

The more investors lose their money in trading because due to their greed, they think that they will get more and more profit even if they are also in profit. But i want to say one thing they didn't get more even they lose a little or even more money in that greed, I hope every one is familiar with this situation.

It seems to me that trade does not complete the basic and technical analysis correctly which causes the investor to lose his funds. It is important that you do some research before investing. People always lose their money at the wrong time. It is important that you read the chart carefully to get in and out at the right time. Most people buy goods when they have already bought a lot, which is why sales start as soon as they buy.

Research--
Learn up from real experience--
Trial and Error--
Rinse and Repeat--

It might be something which isnt really easy to be done but if you do know on what you are doing then you could really make yourself sustainable into this market.
Losing cant really be avoided but due to experience and skills you would able to lessen the risk and that what makes you sustainable.

You know, your first reason is one way to think for which I haven't considered very much. Not like I'm completely ignorance of the fact that, there are those factors that tends to hinder a directional growth pattern but, should it be used for a determinant as to why you shouldn't sell haven't been much of a plan for me. Its really cool to have shown this part to me and I hope someone else do see reasons too.
Again, I doubt investors don't do some speculations themselves. What's really the difference?
As an investor, you've hot yo speculate on not just when you should be expecting some returns investment but, the factors that could result in its boom.

a very good understanding from you, about those who want to trade, to continue to study a lot of analysis correctly by understanding in detail about the existing charts to be used as indicators of determination before doing what to do, be it buying or selling. but in addition to learning, we must also continue to multiply, always trade carefully and there is no need to be afraid of taking the wrong step, please remember that the mistakes we make are learning so that we can move forward and not repeat the same mistakes next time.
patience and not panic is also needed to determine what we will do.

to start it is better to start small first if we understand carefully and then move to a bigger one, it must also be remembered that it does not always have to be profitable.

what often happens is that investors lose control of their emotions. investing in cryptocurrency also relies on the patience of its investors, this is actually an important key. those who get too emotional often lose a lot of money when trading, this is a problem that must be addressed immediately. In addition to needing extra patience, investors must also really understand the basics of cryptocurrency itself. don't let them misunderstand.

Well, there is no course you can pass or learn to assure yourself as a complete analyst of the market. A lot of people who are new to the crypto scene learn a thing or two about coins and start believing that they know everything about it. This is where the problem really exists. One may relate it to driving. When you learn to drive a car for the first time, you feel - ah that was easy! But you realize that there are new things to be learned daily.

Some will have accidents before they learn while some will learn without accidents. Similarly, a trader without complete knowledge and understanding is just going to fail multiple times. How quickly you learn depends on your grasp of the market understanding and self mistakes.

I would highlight one of them that the investors should prevent greed, whenever there is greed in trading there will be more chances of getting loss. So, the investors should take profit, whether it is small or big. But is should be profit which needs patience too. Then only they will be safe from getting into more loss.

I agree on greed and as well as FOMO.

Those are the usual reasons why newbies lose money. No research, invest during the hype, and investing with fomo. It happened in the past and happens again today.

Losing isn't always the worst outcome, as long as the amount involved was recoverable and manageable. After facing loss in any trade, make a habit of carefully observing what mistake you made. Usually, it would be one of the following:

1- Greed or Panic
2- FOMO
3- Incorrect fundamental analysis

There might be many other mistakes but whatever it is, just observe and work on it. If you can eliminate a mistake each time you lose money, it's not a bad deal at all, given that you aren't making new mistakes constantly.

no one guarantees safety in investing everything can happen but by not being greedy to take large profits or quickly being patient and some information that reduces the risk of experiencing losses, and from whatever it is patience is the most important thing in investing to take profits .

Exactly my points what I want to say in this topic sometimes because of lack of knowledge not proper educate about bitcoin other reasons is panic and greedy plans they don't have patience to hold. Making quick decisions in hurry or in panic and they losse their money. 🙏

Agreed, but if you can't control your emotions, you'll lose because greediness will lead to you thinking you can earn more pip but instead hitting your stop loss. Knowledge is essential in trading, as is the ability to control your emotions. Your experience will follow, as you will be able to truly understand what the market is doing to you if you have been trading for a long time. However, no matter how knowledgeable you are, there are still risks that you should avoid, such as placing a stop loss to avoid burning our accounts.

Because investor start trading without any experience and knowledge every work need knowledge that's why they loos money but if they do trade after learning then I am sure they get a great benefit and don't loos money.

Investment definitely does not equate speculations!  The due diligence must be performed on the investment you which to make on Cryptocurrency!  Investigate!  Investigate! Investigation can not be over emphasize in Cryptocurrency,  things are not the way they seem!  And after you have done your dyor,  you must confirmed from different sources claims been put forward as a reason for investment in Cryptocurrency!

In fact, I think those who lose their profits in this cryptocurrency do not have a good knowledge of such trading in cryptocurrency.However, if there are various experts or experienced leather people who sometimes lose their profits, then it is a matter of huge mistake. But in most cases the new verdict cryptocurrency is their profit Lost. Because they trade emotionally and lose their mind when the market is very expensive.

Those emotions will always be a problem for people, it has caused people to lose money before and it will keep on causing people to lose more and more money as well, it is basically just a reason why people do not end up making profit consistently in the crypto world, it has always been like that and will continue to be like that for a while as well.

However it is also not easy to stop your emotions as well, thankfully I am a long term holder and my emotions do not even matter, I am literally doing nothing, I bought bitcoin once upon a time and now I just do nothing and how I feel about bitcoin prices do not matter because I am not selling it neither. However telling people to be less emotional when trading is easy, it is actually leaving your emotions out of trading that is hard, after all we are humans and we have emotions, so it is not easy to stop them when we are trading.

I am always investing in the day trading which needs constant concentration and you know really well whether in day trading or coins buying for long term all of them needs much patience. Investors didn't have much patience that's why they are losing their money. They also don't know about the trading and don't have much information about the coin. That's why they often lose money in trading.

There is a common misconception that we must NOT be greedy. I don't really agree with this concept completely, especially in the crypto market. Look I am not saying we should lose all the money to our greed but there are coins that go 100x regularly and if you aren't greedy enough to reap the rewards, you will probably cash them at 2-5x at best.

It might be a good idea to sell some coins at 2x then some more at 5x and so on until you have reaped the maximum possible value. It may drop at a certain point after reaching 5-10x but at least you are still in profit and you gave yourself the best chance of making the highest profits too.

Yeah, some will trade even when there is no reason for them to trade. Not sure if there's a thing such as over-trading but a lot of people are trading more than they normally should. If you trade more doesn't mean you will earn more. the lesser you trade, the less stress you will face and more clarity in thoughts.

If you feel the market pressure of missing an amazing coin, just tell yourself that this is not the last coin in the world. this will help you fight the "feat of missing out".

Similarly, if you feel panicking when your purchased coin is dropping, assure yourself by recalling the reason you purchased the coin initially.

As far as we know there are many qualities in the cryptocurrency market that you have to follow letter by letter. You need to know the market, coins, very well before you can enter cryptocurrency. . Moreover Emotions will never give way to extra greed in cryptocurrency. Because of all these bad features you can face losses in various ways.

And you need to be prepared about losing before trying crypto investment as this was not a simple and easy thing but a risky investment which most of us are at loose ends if we are too careless and much more if we are greedy.

Investors who haven't deep knowledge about crypto and never have long market exposure to the market will surely have no excuse about losing, that is the reality. if we can't dare to take this, your emotions help you to suffer more losses and have a miserable end.

I think using market previous situations to determine the current market probable outcome is one the reason for losses!  Cryptocurrency is very dynamic and usually form similar pattern not situation.  Situations are always different but you can pick a pattern and bank on pattern for profit!

Yeah, I think traders lose more money as compared to investors. One of the big reasons why investors might lose money is because they are impatient and panic which is more of something traders do.

To me, an investor is someone who puts his money into the future value of something and the only reason you can lose as an investor is because you made a mistake while analyzing the future of the project. So just work on the fundamentals if you are losing money despite neither panicking nor getting FOMO'ed.

Even the strategies have to be changed after a while. Some traders who did excellent earlier are suffering now because they failed to keep themselves updated to the market trends and behavior. So I agree with you that understanding the market trend and molding your strategies accordingly is among many other reasons for the loss.

Right it's basically the same thing, not being able to update yourself with time. I see people discussing whether the bull run will continue or stop and how much price we will reach but most of them make their prediction based on how the market reacted based on previous data. I understand that reading past data is important but the market changes every minute.

The users do not investigate about the project and coin and they do not have information about it and make investment. They loss money as a consequence of their shortage of knowledge. Another issue is that they loss money as a result of their greedy nature. Some people lack patience as a result, they loss money. So these are the reasons of losing money.

Well, not all the time that investors lose money because of shortage of knowledge. Remember that trading is just between losing and winning profits in trading. So if you lose, others might have been winning. But if you keep on losing your funds, there might be something wrong with how you invest or how you trade. Maybe in the first place, you are not investing on the coins that are more established and solid compared to others, and this goes out for shortage of knowledge. Second, you might have bought them when they are still in high price, so once they drop down their prices all of a sudden, that will make you lose once you start selling it. As long as you follow the basic buy the dip, and sell at its peak, you will never be totally in loss.

True. Entry and Exit at right time is very important for success of any trade otherwise you will continue losing in trading, you nmight win in one or two trades but that happens by chance or by luck. As a matter of fact Trading is ba wonderful Profession and it requires good knowledge of market Fundamentals, skills to read and understand Technical Indicators to make entry and exit at right time as well as awareness Money and Risk management.

Timing in short but this is actually the hardest thing to be done because no one could able to point out on which is the bottom and which is on the peak
and thats why we do make out decisions mixed up with our guts and intuition which cant really be avoided on some cases which we do really consider it out.Why people do lose money? Due to mistakes which had been affected by neither emotion or greed you do have inside or having lacking knowledge
and skills on overall aspect.This is why you do really need to enchance yourself overtime.

Traders may lose money for many reasons, the most common is that they have lack experience and they entered the trade late in FOMO, which is not advised for newbies. If you are a beginner, learn about crypto before doing your own trades.

The most common reason is a lack of experience. It depends on the investors themselves, because they often simply overestimate their abilities.

Yes, lack of experience and yet, it seems they know the market well but still end up losing. I guess we all started as newbies and as being new in the market, we should exert more effort by doing consistent researches before applying them because it is the only way where we can gain experiences that will definitely be our best teacher and motivator. Another thing that keep us from losing is the greed that tends to manipulate everyone. If we fall for greed, we will never improve our investing and trading strategies as we will be in controlled by our emotions and that will be a big hindrance from getting big profits at the end of the day.

Investors often lose money because they don't set up a plan before they enter the market. I think in every step we make in crypto market, there should be a plan so we can be more guided and focused to achieve our main goal. Although we can say that we entered in a bearish season and start accumulating coins, but the fact that we are taken for granted when will be the best time to exit, then it will still create losses in the end. So if you want to be successful either from investing or trading crypto, at least you should have a concrete plan and if the market suddenly turn sideways, you should have prepared another back up too.

You do not have to pick the absolute bottom and the highest peak. However, when the price is at 64k and it drops to 30k, anywhere along the line would be great place to buy, I mean it is dropping so much which means that it is getting closer to bottom, divide your money into pieces and keep buying each time it drops if you want to make sure.

After that it started to skyrocket back, you do not have to sell it at 67k if you are not going to wait that much, or maybe you would but we could still go higher, but you could still make a profit and get out at a profit as well. So all in all, timing could be a little bit of a problem but you could still profit very well when you buy at crashes and sell at bull runs.

The most common reasons lack of experience/knowledge, greedy and can't handle your emotions. Patience is always the key for investors or traders to success and gain more profit but because of your emotions it ruin your investment/trading plan. It's very important to control your emotions because you already know how much volatile the crypto market is. Also need to learn from your experience and don't be greedy to avoid too much losses.

Investing in crypto has both advantages and risks. the most common risk is loss which makes many people depressed. There are several reasons for the losses experienced by some investors and an investor should know that. it is not easy to accept failure but it can be a lesson in the future to be more careful and alert. the crypto market can go up and down at any time, don't be in a hurry to act because all of that requires careful thought.

I can see from the way you sound in your submission trading generally is easy and is not for everyone just because some people who are good are money from it. The only way for you to deal with the issue of emotion while trading is to be sure of when you are to place trade if and only if you have seeing the sign for you to enter and the most of all is to reduce your lots size.

Being carried away by Fuds and FOMOS could easily be the reason why most investors lose their money. A proper mindset would be the best asset that we could have upon entering trading. Continuous learning is still needed because we couldn't be trading experts in just a blink of an eye. Also, you should do a series of research about a coin of your choice before investing, which will help you make firm decisions.

Every person is conscious that in trading  there are coins that are better for long term investment and others that are better for short term investment. People on other hand do not think and begin trading even they have no prior experience with trading but want to participate and earn money. The haste to make money can result in significant financial loss. Because everything demands tolerance and if you do not have it you would not be able to profit. They also lack money management strategies. As a result of which that loss money in this manner.

This is more prone for newbies as they have less knowledge and experience when it comes to trading so they easily go with the hype and its trend.  But as they go on with their day to day experiences in  trading, they will build more good analysis and realized that riding in any FUD or FOMO does not create positive outcome. Once you're in trading, your knowledge should never be limited and that is why continuous learning from consistent researches is definitely a must. Don't trade anyway if you are a close minded person.

But, unfortunately most traders are focusing only on what they need for one particular day and they never mind about getting ready for all future challenges. This way, usually most traders do stick with their old strategy and never find time to update it.

To eliminate all these types of struggles, people are simply choosing only long term holding and completely avoiding all type of trading with bitcoin. I am sure with bitcoin investment you will get very small chances to be losing as bitcoin is always appreciating in value in long run. So, for all closed mind people must choose investment option rather than struggling with trading.

This is particularly true in journeys of newbies. I've seen people that just got started in crypto trading and didn't even spend time to learn even the basic concepts of trading like candlesticks,chart patterns and indicators or how to apply them to spot market that has lower risk and move straight to trading futures and that's just bad. You can take trading as a common venture and succeed in it. Trading like every other craft, should be learnt thoroughly. No skips. Knowledge and experience is paramount here.

in fact investing or trading is not an easy thing, it needs good analysis in order to determine when to sell or buy coins. Until now I am also still learning to be able to do my best by managing my crypto assets, it is not an easy thing because several times I have failed by missing a moment. Now I realize that controlling emotions in investing or trading is important so that our minds are not fooled by the ups and downs of the crypto market.

All people starts on being a newbie and these kind of mistakes are very common which is to lose money but when we do gain experience then we are slowly trying to have good grasp on the market.

When we do get that idea then we could get a good hold on this market and able to avoid and make less risky decisions since we are already full aware.Thing here is that you do
do know on what you are doing and because you are investing on then it is just normal to deal with those risk.

Sometimes not everyone is aware of this and indeed controlling emotions is also an important thing and must be considered,
to be able to succeed in investing or trading certainly requires many things,
so we have to really prepare everything if we really want to succeed

It’s always being said that when you are a trader or investor, learning should be a part of you. When it comes to the cryptocurrency market, or the world of investment in general, you should never stop learning, because every time there are new things that are coming out and if you’re not going to keep researching and learning, then you’re going to be lacking behind and you wouldn’t know the latest trends in the industry that you are into.

So for you to be successful you have to keep learning, and that should be a part of you. That is the one thing that is going to help to elevate your trading an investment skills. Talking about the rules you made about how to take profit, I would say it’s good to take profit when the market goes up but not all , you can take a little profit and the rest can stay for investment in case of the price should keep moving up.

Investors lose money due to so many reasons,some of the reasons might be known,while some might be unknown.
But as far as I know,most investors lose money due to one mistake or the other,making mistake is one of the things that makes an investor cry that he has lost money.
Other reasons are carelessness;when an investor does not properly access and make research on the project they want to invest in,it will surely cause them pain in the end.

Therefore in other not to encounter these problems,one must be able to make research,read,and never be in a haste to do anything,always know the right time to invest.

Actually, it is very natural for us to make carelessness and mistakes when investing, because everyone must experience it. The most important thing is
that we don't repeat it, we can increase our caution every time we make a decision. Then we must study every mistake we have made, so that
we know how to fix it and not repeat the mistake again. I admit that it is not easy to invest in crypto, where price movements are very volatile
and difficult to predict. It takes good research and analysis skills, in order to predict where the market will move. To truly become a successful investor,
it can't be done instantly, it takes a long process. We have to learn many things and have experience to become successful investor.

Another reason why newbies loss in trading is because of emotion which is fear of holding a coin for longtime, and not been patient they rush to make a move. Before anyone should go into trading one have to get a solid knowledge and try to get all strategies that could help in trading.

Most investors in cryptocurrency lose their money, and it is precisely because of the fact that a correction occurs or a crypto winter, they immediately drain their deposit into 0 or even a huge minus. Unfortunately, I always did this before, now I always endure all these moments and do not sell for a long time, then the coins grow and earnings also grow.

Most of the investors often to lose money because they don't want to invest huge amount of money on their investment. The more you increase your capital in a particular investment, it will be difficult for such person to experience failure at the end of the business. Some investors think they know it all in the market that is causing them to continue losing money because they lack facilitator in the community. Once you have a facilitator in your business, it hard for such investors to have any negative feeling in the market.
Inpatient is among the reason why investors often to lose money because most of the investors, the moment they heard that market price has change a little they will not exercise patient to know if the price will increase higher for them to make more profit than to release them for sale.

I think most investors often lose money because of fear particularly it happens to new investors.like take coins investors as example. They always sell their coins when the market is going down or the particular coin they invest in is dumping.but they don't know that is not the right time to sell but few losses because they invest all their money  and anytime they have financial problem go there to sell some of coin they invest in,and some people don't have target and anything you are doing once you don't have target that means you are also ready to fail, always try to have target.

It is not fair to assume that all investors will face cryptocurrency trading losses. Only those investors who have limited knowledge and previous experience face losses in trading only. And all the experienced and knowledgeable investors who are in the state never face any loss.

emotions often lead to losses, when people experience a floating minus, sometimes they can still hold it, but if the market goes down again, they can still wait, until the market goes down again and assets are only 30%, I think many people will start to panic, and they are afraid of losing more money. and this will be more experienced by novice traders, many of whom experience losses, due to not being able to control their emotions

Those who are not in a state of facing loss can only attribute all the credit to luck, of course, their own ability cannot be denied but you need to know that this market wants to be unusual, it will be extraordinary, if it wants to evaporate and change, just a few more seconds is enough and human velocity is not comparable in this case. Losses are always looming and hidden before experienced investors, strong competitors like them will need the market to create more dire images to attack them while with new employees a small fraction is enough to threaten them, it's all just a story of time

No losses is part of cryptocurrency trading is like business that you lose sometimes and you gain at the next time. So just like trading crypto, you may still lose despite that you have adequate knowledge or an expert. The reason that you lose is because there are uncertain circumstances that can get the market against you such as fundamental which is news , News can suddenly hit the market and if you have a running market as an expert, it can go against you. So every trader whether new or old can as well lose.

Not having Patience can make an investor to lose money always,  not been Patient is a lifestyle or character that an investor can exhibit,  this can be a big challenge that will always affect investor. There are other factors  that can also affect an investor which is not updating trading strategies. When an investor don't make research to upgrade is trading  pattern it can also contribute  to lose of money.

 I think anyone want to join the trading so they are very  important is that they know about all the knowledge about the cryptocurrency.
And the other thing is that they study about the market down up and all the important signal.
And anyone invest a money in coin so first they study there community and concept and check they are a real coin so they invest they hold there token definitely They received a profit.

IMO there is no exact key to sucess or loss in crypto trading. One strategy that works for you may or may not work for you. Copy trading or signaling group that gives you indications of buying a coin to become quick rich are one of prime reason why many people fail. You have to spend time in market , making your own strategies that can give you success.

The OP is pretty well written and is full of important points. But to be honest these happen in very advance level. Investors lack in the beginner level only.
They lack basic knowledge for which they often lose money. Mostly investors can’t figure out when to invest and where to invest for which these types of losses occur.

I appreciate the guide you made but I want to mention a point you raised about selling when the price is high.

Remember that every investor has their respective goals set in mind. Whether an investor is short or long-term, the goal is always common- which is to profit at the end. Instead of selling everything when the price of your investment reaches an ATH, sell 40% and retain the %60 for re-investment. The percentage may vary depending on your current needs/goals but it is highly advisable that you prevent from cashing out all of your investments.

That's your wrong assumption, why say a broad experienced investor will never lose, all investors almost experience it, the market price will not be easily guessed by anyone even if it's a long time expert in the cryptocurrency field but when the market suddenly becomes bearish who can avoid in this case?
All of them have their respective skills in every investor they do, it's just that the experienced will always anticipate any correction or resistance direction and of course if they continue to hold it can be said to be a loss but not completely and investors are more waiting for the price to recover normally.

When it comes to losing then there's no exemption to that because everyone could experience it but somehow the gap between experience or pro to those noobs will really be that noticeable and its understandable on how someone does have knowledge will really have the edge and somehow a noob
could definitely become better if he intents to make out experience on what they do.We all goes for this one
and its inevitable but somewhat we do learn along the way.

Indeed, every trader goes through losses and this is also an experience

Everyone will make mistakes not matter how experienced one is. There are times as an investor where things outside of your own control lead to losses, and it is normal, it is all part of the journey. While it is true that most of these losses occur during bear markets because everything else finds it so much more difficult to survive, there are also times when carelessness leads to losses even when in green markets.

All in all, everyone makes losses and these losses can occur at any time, even for experienced investors as mistakes are liable at every stage of any investment.

When a person's emotions control thinking and rationality, 90% of the decisions made are wrong. At this time, what the brain thinks is often actions that the hands cannot make. This is also the rule of the game. Without these people, there would be no market liquidity.

The most important reason is they Dont know the main thing of trading and crypto market what is technical analysis and some most important thing that's why they loss money

Retail traders tend not to have a strategy and trade emotionally. This means one frequently makes a decision at exactly the wrong time. The best way to make money is to plan trades carefully based on your own research. Keep records of your trades and what you learn from each trade. Never commit more than 10% of available capital to any one position and keep your discipline. If you set a stop in your trading plan and the market moves through it, get out of your position.

I don't know which version of investors the OP is referring to but I completely disagree, can you match your statement with those who have invested in btc, eth, bnb, sol, axs, dot, etc from the beginning or at a certain point where they buy-in?
If you as an investor didn't recognize the right time to sell or buy it is on you but don't generalize it to the behavior of every investor.

 In  Addition  greedy traders don't go far, their accounts aways crashes

Exactly, because timing is really important, knowing when to buy and sell is the right strategy to make ourselves profitable. However, we cannot expect that everyone will be profitable as the demand of crypto for usage is not really that huge, therefore, expect that when some makes money from investing, others will also lose, it's just up to us to choose which side we will fall.

Because of their greed, they don't make it far.

There's a discipline in trading that every trader must follow. Because if you're not that disciplined at all, you're missing the whole point of what you're doing.

You don't have to be greedy, what you need is satisfaction for most of the gains that you make so you don't lose them.

Greed is the primary thing on why people do really commit out some losses because money management would be totally be forgotten on the times that you do make yourself forget on things.Although losses are inevitable but doesnt mean that you wont really be finding ways on surpressing it out.
You should really be mindful on how to deal up with things and trying out to minimize lossess as little as possible because if you dont
then you would be just continuing on losing money.

Losing is inevitable.

But with being greedy, you're attracting more loss onto you and that's why controlling that side of yours is a must. Because if you can't, you have to face it on your own.

Anyway, experiences are teaching us and we're growing with it after dealing.

An investor or a trader loses money because of so many reasons,and the reasons are;
Lack of experience.
Lack of strategy.
Impatience.
Inability to do proper research.
Fear.
These are some of the reasons why we lose money while investing.We must try to avoid these in order to get the desired result.

Some of the reasons mentioned are why i do loose money to trading but i will say greediness is the main cause and not adopting any strategy, though i was inexperienced. I am still learning how to to trade properly and i will try to apply the mentioned and see the outcome.
The loss i encountered while trading made me believe trading is not for everyone.

Catching cryptocurrency trading is a complex process that ordinary traders do not understand the value of. Especially those traders who come to trade with little knowledge, they face losses in trading without realizing it.

Investors may face losses at different times for different reasons. All the reasons for investors to face more losses is to invest without understanding the project. Moreover, due to lack of proper knowledge, they face losses at different times.
