Trading losses

[Quidat]

Can someone balance me real quick, how do people get losses even though we know that Bitcoin is destined for growth?
is it because people are looking to buy and sell quickly which may result in a loss if market falls?
Because in my view i feel like buying and holding on to your bitcoin until its value has increased(which is an assured) will always set you for profits.

please correct me if im wrong...

How people do lose their money? This do surely excludes to those who held up their coins but to think that there are type of investors who do make some active trades which means
they do actively buy and sell and in result neither they do cut loss or not then selling out on negative will surely ending up on losses which is basic but if you do really meant for bitcoin
to be held up for long term then theres no point on selling it on the first place but people do have different trading behaviors and set of goals thats why its counted as losses when it
deducted into your trading balance or capital.

1. Buy/sell it at the wrong time.
2. Day-trader did the wrong choice and actually it's also on the point 1. They also choose the wrong time to trade.

It doesn't matter if the market liquidity is really high thus doesn't make the price too volatile at that time. That is why you have to choose the high liquidity coins to avoid this problem.

Those who are inexperienced in trading prefer to hold. Again those who have enough experience in trading and prefer day trading can make good profit by trading bitcoin. So the main thing here is that in the case of experience trading, if you trade without experience, losses are inevitable.

Those who also have experience  also like to hodl a valuable coin. It depends on the coin too and the time and chance the person has. If you don't like a coin, you can decide to just hodl it or sell it out. Trading takes a lot of time and this is a challenge to traders.

The people who don't enter with the mindset that there may be a loss are the ones who usually fair the worst. Be disciplined and make a plan before you purchase. Set down rules for how much to sell and when to sell - in both profit and loss scenarios. This way you don't let your emotions of doom or moon take over. Failing to sell on a large slide back an eating the loss on BTC from 20K to 3K is fine if you were expecting that - people who didn't probably gave up and sold at 3k because lack of plan.

Most people, myself included, are simply incapable of following their own plans. The cryptocurrency market is very tricky.
Every time your plan is realized, and you forget that now is the very moment that you predicted, undefined factors arise that tell you that you need to wait a little bit, what could be even better. And you are waiting.
That ultimately leads to losses and results other than the most effective.

I mean, trading is not for everyone. Those who come to do trade come with enough time to trade. Trading and hodl is everyone's personal choice. It is natural that everyone will give priority to their own decision. However, I would say that those who have no knowledge of trading and no experience, it is beneficial to stay away from trading. Only hodl is the best option for them.

It's a natural habit of business. Trading is a system that is not see as secure by the market. There may make profit or loss depends on market, risk, time, types, overall depends on the situation. Trading loss commonly depends on the failure to risk identified, lacking patients, world economy, inflation, etc. To prevent this before getting on market one should have to well understand about market.

Actually OP was wondering when everyone knows and agrees that BTC is going to grow in future and the price always increase later if not sooner then how are people still having loss with trading.

I believe the basic reason why people are having loss despite knowing BTC is going to go up is because of two reasons mainly.

1 They are trading altcoins: We all know how destructive and implosive the altcoin market is and it takes one mistake to lose all your capital to a scam coin.

2- Day Trading: A lot of people sell and buy BTC at different prices and earn so sometimes when during a bearish run people have to execute trades at loss despite knowing that if they can wait a week or month they might get better value, they need that money to next trades so they have to accept loss.

There are many things that make us lose money when trading Bitcoin, even though we all know Bitcoin continues to grow. Usually people
who experience losses because they buy Bitcoin at a high price and can't patience for the Bitcoin price to rise even higher. Another thing is
that the person uses margin trading which does have a high enough risk, even though that person does not have a good knowledge of Bitcoin
trading. Next people often experience losses because they are greedy to get bigger profits, then missed the opportunity to sell Bitcoin when
the Bitcoin price went up.

More precisely, a lack of strategy and knowledge of the trades being carried out. Newbies who are new to bitcoin investing will continue to think about how much profit will be made if the price of bitcoin continues to grow. They do not know that Bitcoin is very volatile, which of course will provide large profits or vice versa with very large losses.
They were impatient and panicked too much when bitcoin prices fell by a few percent.
To overcome trading losses on bitcoin, basic education is needed about bitcoin trading and of course a good mental state and not too greedy.

That is a reality when you don't have a plan to follow. You'll be going nowhere for sure but if you have a certain goal, everything you'll do will guide accordingly and of course, there is a huge difference from an impatient person to the people who are willing to wait and risk their money. Thar word instant is nowhere to find, yeah, and that it never exist out from the reality.

The markety is so tricky but not a thing we need to think about. If you have the capability to adopt the system, you can simply think that this is not a trick but this is how the market behaves.
