Why newbies lose huge money in trading

[Realgogo]

Most newbies lose huge amount of money because, after learning the basics of trading they feel they know it all, they think they can manipulate through the market. But they end up losing big.

No matter what you are thought, you must know this that to be a successful trader, it takes practice and consistency.

Novice trading time is short, long trading time can bring experience, summing up failures, and constantly trying is my way to reduce losses.

It is better to amend the topic to “What are the things that make beginners lose a lot” as some beginners succeed in making a lot of money, but they make some mistakes that make them lose, the most important of which is relying on emotions and not accurate analysis of the market.
We always make a lot of mistakes, but the most important thing is that we correct those mistakes and continue to learn, as it is what makes us reduce losses.

Also, newbie that is not related to time may invest since 2010, but their information and ideas are still ideas of beginners.

There's no way that beginners can protect their money if they don't study first how trading really works before entering , because it's really necessary to educate our self first especially in such way of making money which so volatile and sometimes very unpredictable. If you don't take it seriously in order to avoid losses then you don't have a consideration when it comes trading your money. For me much better to quit because you will not become successful on that way and you're just wasting money.

Well, even with some knowledge trading can be difficult because unlike in a bull market where everything will eventually go up, when markets are too volatile it makes investment and exit strategies much more difficult. So it is a matter of timing and not getting that extra advantage from a green market. Knowledge helps but not so much if the above is relevant for your basket of digital assets.

So, not knowing enough about a market, not knowing when to enter/exit and not following the trends are all factors that can lead any trader to its demise which is why trading is risky, though again you can't get rewarded without proportionate risk.

Not only do the fundamentals and technical analysis play a role, but emotion also plays a role because it is at this point that you decide whether or not to enter the trade. I've been trading for a year and am still gaining knowledge. The most important thing to me is controlling my emotions so that I can stick to my strategy, because if I don't, I'll lose all of my money. I've also termed myself as a newbie to trading because I'm still not making a lot of money, but I will be soon. This is what I consider to be the most important aspects of trading: emotions, fundamentals, technical analysis, and learning every day.

can be concluded in your thread if the beginner is greedy and wants to get rich quick. because in trading there is a lot that needs to be learned and there are lots of techniques and strategies that must be understood before entering the world of trading. so maybe beginners can apply this so that in the future they don't get caught up in big money losses

They still lack of experience and strategy.

A newbie that losses a huge amount of money, he never planned how he's going to trade and how he's going to finance his practice trading. The budgeting part is hard for the newbies.

They have the thinking that the higher the capital, the higher reward as if it's an instant logic and result.

It's a question of "HOW":

There are a lot of factors to consider, on how they lose that much money:

1. Brought by hype - Typical error or incorrect practice not only in crypto but in general. Wherein an individual got caught with the hype, or just being aggressively persuaded by the moment and/or by other people.

2. Lack of Knowledge - Common sense sometimes is nowhere to be found. Engaging without knowing what to do.

3. Inexperience - Well, these people have already the knowledge and the information but they can't initiate their strategies properly and some are not sure about their own data.

5. Buy now sell later attitude - Well newbies normally are fond of holding, even without security. In trading, holding is not quite an option and It's much better in line with investing. Trading is much more on a fast phase industry, in which the opening of opportunity closes even in a blink of an eye. So yeah, newbies tend to hold and believe that it will rise in time (though this may apply to some but not all).

And many more, My advice to all the aspirants or the newbies out there;

"Remember when trading, please leave your emotions behind"
"Spend only what you can afford"

[bitzizzix]

It is best to learn the basics first about trading well and correctly and try to learn to read charts from experienced traders, and practicing on a demo account is also important because there you can do and learn with non-real coins.
and whatever you learn doesn't mean you will become a great trader, it all requires a process and experience that will help you become a very careful trader because you learn from mistakes and losses that will not repeat the same mistakes.

Some advice for newbies: I always think that there are only two currencies in this market, one is Bitcoin and the other is altcoins (other currencies). When I first started participating
I only bought Bitcoin. I think it is very difficult to make money on the counterfeit if Bitcoin is not good enough. If you want to ask me how long I can try other currencies after learning Bitcoin? I don't think it depends on the time, but on the progress of your study, whether you have established a high-level and in-depth industry awareness. Let me speculate that it will take 2-3 years for those with fair talents, and 5-8 years for those with ordinary talents.
I
Study and experience the fund base; the knowledge base; the mentality base.

Experience can not be 100% thought but have to be built over the time you spend trading and the best experience is the one you gain by your activities and mistakes, most newbies lose money because they are always in a rush to make profits and thinking they already understand the cryptocurrency market but not knowing there is more to trading that only time and practice can teach.

If they listen enough to the ones who advised them they will not put a lot of money at stake. It was also advised to me not to put trade more than I can afford. But I do invest to hold when there is a bullrun. Even the pro traders lose money at some point.

But then, of course, getting ready to profit more is inevitable. One day or the other a newbie will be confident enough and then fail. Its always okay to lose that's how we learn.

Indeed. If they listen to someone's advices especially to those people who knows very well in it, I guess they will never experienced loses. They have lack of experience and strategies especially techniques on how to trade. A newbie that somehow lose a huge amount of money maybe because of those errors they did or else they never planned on trading and maybe have a hard time on the budgetting part. But, experiencing loses will help us learn a lot on this.

Im not a newbie but I often lose huge money too on trading. What does it mean? Im not good on being a trader and investors? Maybe I am just unlucky isnt it? Sometimes even we already knew the concept and some basic of it. We cant avoid uncoventional losses. Who can predict a good move always right? Market is quite volatile and even we follow others idea or move they often got wrong one too. So its really fine to lose some money cause investment works like that. But consistently losing isnt healthy means you dont learn at all or grasp a thing about trading.

[Lucius]

Not only beginners lose money, according to some research, as much as 95% of all those who trade lose it - which only tells us that we have about 5% of those who are more intelligent and capable than most people. The problem is that everyone thinks they can profit from crypto trading, but it's a very risky business - even a much riskier one than, say, sports betting, where people mostly lose money.

I can only say that everyone should be aware of their capabilities, we are not all created to be traders, politicians or doctors - stick to what you are good at, otherwise be prepared to face your losses.

'Experience is the best teacher' is applicable in every facet of jobs whether trading or the normal convectional jobs, newbies in trading has to undergo a through learning process of trading and doing it for long period of time with small of money to learn the ropes, there are some newbies who by luck started trading on a good note earning  profits consistently however in a long run ended up rekting their portfolio due to inexperience in money management, control of emotions, inpatient and trading with a high leverage, improper planning of trade etc these are some of the features that a good trader must put into consideration before embarking on trading journey unfortunately these many newbies lack.

Experience is very important and with frequent loss of money of course it indicates that the experience is still little,
in addition to experience knowledge is equally important I think,
without knowledge maybe we won't understand anything and it's easier to lose money so if you want to succeed in trading of course you have to try hard and learn for sure

Losi money in trade is not only issue because even old traders lose money when they do the wrong thing. Such wrong steps cuts across both beginners and older traders

These are the reason beginners lose money...
1. Greed : Any person who is greedy should not be a trader if they won't adjust out of being greed because as you making good profit, it may take all your if it goes against you.

2. No stop loss: Traders are suppose to apply stop loss in each trade the make and that will them to have balance to try again if the order fails.

3. No good money management strategy : This is important. You would have taken your losses by your self as you reduce it before making the trade order.

It's because they're newbies, is probably the best expression. Yes, there are times where newbies win out in trades and the like, but let's be real, most of it is attributed to luck, they haven't experienced even an inch of what the market really has, and they think they're already bigshot traders for profiting off of their first few trades. It's nothing new really, overconfidence, greed, lack of experience, there are a LOT of factors involved, you name it. But it all comes down to newbies being well, "newbies" and there's literally nothing you can do about that except to gain more experience, and most possibly, lose more money.

Well, yeah experience can teach you a lot but you must be working towards the right path too. I mean a rickshaw puller might get tremendously experienced with his job but still doesn't get paid well enough with his experience because he worked in the wrong direction, I am not saying he had better choices or working hard is a bad idea, but just to put things into perspective I am sharing the example.

Working hard and gaining experience is always good but make sure the experience you gain over time does help you reduce your burden and increase your wages or profits. There are traders who enter the market later than others and yet earn more than them just because they have better adaptability and understanding of the market.
