Your bitter-sweet experience in trading that you can't get over.

[GeorgeJohn]

Anyone who is into trading must have had some ugly experiences and also some good memories that either changed their lives or improved their financial status.We all know trading is risky and can cause emotional trauma if not seen and taken in two ways,either positively or negativily,either you win or you lose.It can be good and at the same time can make you sad.
What are those bad and good experiences you've had ever since you started trading?

In addition of what you said, i will say that trading is a continuous process thing for a someone who is average perfect in trading, before you can become successful in trading you have undergoes many mistakes, and the mistake a trader encounter or experience during trading is a part of corrections in a previous trading and such mistake will not reoccurre

Paradoxically, losing is a part of winning when it comes to trading. Sadly, most traders don't want to be reminded of losing or have that mandatory feel of is. No gain without pain as they say in gym houses, and I think that also rightly applies to trading. Newbie traders are often indoctrinated on how marvellous and easy trading is and how they can make so and so amount of cash in a single day. So, these noobs come into trading with that mindset. A few days down the line, account is blown. The process is repeated until they learn or quit in bitterness.

What are those bad and good experiences you've had ever since you started trading?

There are numerous ones to remember. However, the pleasant experiences are more than the bad ones.

Well, I consider mine to be the worst experience, and that was the first time I carried out future trading. I first learned about "future trading" on a CEX, but I didn't understand it because I thought it was too complicated to devote much time to at the time, so I gave up trying to learn about it relentlessly. So, last year, I discovered a new CEX that gave me free money ($20) to use in my future wallet trade. I used the trial fund to trade the BTC pair and earn $5 extra, but I also lost it in the trade and earned more but lost it as well, so after the trial fund expired, I was only left with the $2 that I managed to earn. I decided to invest real money in future trading, starting with $100 and hoping to make a large profit, but I never knew how I mistakenly messed with the leverage settings. Immediately after I entered the trade, not even 30 minutes later, I was not seeing my $100 again; in fact, the trade had closed itself and the money was gone. Since then, I have not tried futures trading again, but I still have the intention to give it another try.

One of my worst experience in crypto trading was when I was in more than 50% profit instead of taking profit and close the trade thinking that the price would continue to pump, unfortunately due to greediness I left the trade without putting a Stop Loss Lo and behold when I came back to check my account was already in liquidation,  having traded with a high leverage using Isolated Margin, that was the first I experienced the high volatility of cryptocurrency price, honestly I felt bad and I was emotionally down that day  I had to summon courage and move, though I quit trading for some time.

I think most people out there have had a worse experience at least once in their trading life. In my case it has happened many times, I have faced loss many times due to wrong trading at wrong time.  I still bear the weight of that loss by investing in memes or alt-coins in particular. But I remember during the bull run I had a meme coin in which I made almost 100x profit from a small invesmet which was the highest of my life. But after the Lunar incident, I stopped investing in alt coins and now I am holding Bitcoin for the long term.

There's no exemption to this because we do start on being a newbie so it is really that understandable that you would be experiencing losses and errors in towards this activity.
You cant really just that start on being professional all the way or on your first try.Even if you are old here on this market but it doesnt mean that you cant really experience losses.
This is why it would really be that a test on trying out to get along with this unpredictable and volatile market.There's no way that you could deal it up
without experiencing unfortunate events.

That is the worst scenario that can happen to a trader, you are experiencing good profits and then out of nowhere you lose everything, and while this is rare in other market this is very common here as some altcoins can pump and dump in a matter of hours, I just hope that you did not had to pay a massive amount of money to learn that lesson since this is the kind of mistake that a newbie trader can make and that can easily make them to lose the trust they had on this market.

My worst experience in crypto trading was when I just started trading, actually I didn't have anyone to put me through so I have to learn it the hard way, i watched videos on YouTube, and I started putting everything into practice, everything was going well even as I was not making money yet, I was losing but not too much because any drop in market, I always make sure that i sell even at loss.

When I further my research and I discovered future trading, that was the worst thing that could happen happened to me in trading, I wasted all the money in my wallet on future trading, my house rent that was with me I deposited all and wasted it on future trading, at a point I noticed I was getting addicted to future trading, so I just have to force myself to stop it.

This is a pretty common mistake in trading because we are controlled by our greed. I think all of us experience this and that we want to earn more. That is why others are just going to hit and run or just set a daily goal and if they achieve it then they will not trade again on that day because, I don't know what the explanation behind this , but the market will kind of take those profits from you if you are still trading even if you already hit your goals.

To me, the baddest thing that happened to me in trading was to hold for too long and miss the targets thinking that a coin would increase further. Therefore, the biggest lesson  I have learned was to make a plan and commit to a strategy, and follow risk management. In addition, mistakes make us less emotional over time, and that's the key to success in trading, in my opinion.

[Getmon]

All of us who have been investing in crypto currencies for a long time have, in my opinion, been through both good and bad trades. I have been through the two major market cycles of bitcoin, the crypto currency that controls the market, and I have experienced my own ups and downs. Altcoins, in particular, are the ones that disappear when the market changes after the major cycles. Over the course of my career, I witnessed instances in which some of my altcoins, which were once valued at thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars, were reduced to only a few hundred dollars, and others even became worthless coins.

Buy high Sell low.

This is usually happening whenever i do get fomo'ed on which this is always been ending up a disaster and a never forgettable moment and this is where we do really learn up our lessons.
Each of us would really be experiencing the same and this is something inevitable, some could be able to handle out and some do easily quit out.
Its up to yours whether you would continue for this kind of goal or would easily quit up and find for another venture.

That is called a strategy, people with strategy will focus on just that and they will buy and hold and sell when the time comes and that is how they make their profit, they are smart people and I try to be like them as much as I possibly can.

However, there comes a time when things change a lot and we end up with something much worse, which I believe could be a bit of an issue in the long run, the "fools eye", I don't know what it's called in English but a person who is mesmerized by the beauty of something and can't move or talk, you see it growing higher, and you are seeing how much profit you are making, and you get stuck and can't do anything, those people make the biggest loss.

This is pretty much the definition of overtrading, a good trader takes whatever the market gives them and they are happy with it, however when greed takes over traders try to force themselves and make more trades than what the market is offering them, and what happens to them? They lose money of course, as we cannot force the markets to move as we want, we are the ones that must adapt to them, and if we fail then we will have to pay the price, which in most instances is to suffer some losses during that particular day.
